Recommend a good video card please.

[kool]

Hi, I'm looking to buy a new video card, but I'm not exactly sure what to get.

I'm looking for a card without having to replace my PSU.

My computer has a 300W PSU and is using an NVIDIA GeForce 9100 Chipset.

I'm not exactly sure what you need to know to recommend a card, but this site lists my computer parts. If there's anything else you need to know, just ask.

check out on newegg.com and type in low-profile video card. there are some with 128-bit memory, so that should be a good solution for a 300 watt PSU.

 

Seriously though, 300 watt is puny. Think about upgrading that before anything else. Just my 2 cents.

i've thought about upgrading my PSU, but since I just bought this computer no longer than 3 months ago, I didn't want to void the warranty already.

Also before asking you should probably state specific details on your mobo or give us the model so we can tell you if have pci express 2.0 or Agp x8 or something it'd be 10x easier to find you a video card that could suit your other specs

Quit doing that, you don't need to post 'bump' after you post a message. You dumbass.

 

You need a new PSU before you can upgrade your video card.

well, then a low profile card is what you need to look for.

 

if he bought it 3 months ago with a warranty, no way is it AGP.

Not to noob up this thread anymore, but what is AGP?

Well, the link that I gave in the first post lists what the parts of the computer is, I thought it would've listed the motherboard as well, but I guess not. As for the model its HP PAVILION P6214Y DESKTOP PC

LOL! First of all:

Second, if you're going to go with Nvidia I'd suggest a 9800 GTX+. If you lean towards Radeon, then I suggest the HD 5970 (If you have some money of course).
