What would be a good video graphics card to get?

What Video/Graphics Card Can/Should I Get?

  • There are a lot of factors that seem to be involved in deciding what I can afford that will fit my computer and what I want to use it for so I'm a little over my head since I am not too tech savvy. What I'm looking for is a card that could run a game like Diablo 3 at least fairly well for under $120, including power supply if needed. Maybe not ultra high graphics on the game, but it should be able to run medium graphics smoothly. See: http://us.battle.net/support/en/article/D3supportedvideo Although the page does not mention all video cards, it is a good reference point. My computer is part of the HP P6000 series. Approximate Specifications: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=120&prodSeriesId=3884665&prodTypeId=12454&prodSeriesId=3884665&objectID=c01692493 If there are any other specs or info you need, either guess or ask and I will answer soon. Also, the specs say the power supply is only 300W; if that is true and it's absolutely necessary to upgrade a larger power supply, then a will. I am also willing to order from ebay, Newegg, TigerDirect, etc. if that's where you find a good deal. Thanks, Alec P.S. The slot is PCIe... Ask questions if there is anything else you need to know.

  • Answer:

    If all you want is good Diablo 3 gaming, you could get a Radeon 7750, $109 in US which is the best graphics card that does not need an external power connector and so should work with your HP without a new PSU. The 7750 is going to be close but little under a 6850 in Diablo 3 probably and so with the benchmarks here http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/diablo-iii-performance-benchmark,3195-5.html it should do over 40 fps at high detail at HD 1920x1080. Note you cannot get a 6850 unless upgrading your power supply to because that needs external power connector. Right now Radeon 7750 is really the fastest card on a low end PSU.

Never use a PSU, less powerful, than 600W.
