Can I just out any video card in my computer?

What is the best video card out that my computer can handle?

  • Here is my computer: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp;jsessionid=JJ2GAQOXACQTVKC4D3KFAGY?skuId=8661593&type=product&productCategoryId=cat15108&id=1196470438977 BEST BUY LIES, ITS NOT AN 8500GT BTW! The video card in it is a Nvidia geforce9400(Geforce 9300 GE + Geforce 8200) which basically is the only defect to this great computer. I want to know what is the best video card I can get for $300-$400 for this computer. Also, since a NVIDIA video card is installed, can I use ATI if someone recommends that? Cuz I was looking at the radeon HD 4870's. Thx.

  • Answer:

    check www.newegg.com for good prices, i usually buy from there or www.amazon.com Both give you good, fast, reliable, service. You want to get an nVidia 260, the 280 is overpriced for the gains it gives you. Btw, can you return that machine to bestbuy?

You want to uninstall the old video cards drivers before installing the new video card drivers, so what you had previously doesn't matter. You can easily change over from NVIDIA to ATI. (So long as you are merely replacing the older video card and not attempting to crossfire them together)... The 4870s are the best video card available right now (for $300-400).

yea you would want to upgrade your powersupply and a 4870 is somewhat between a gtx 260 and a gtx 280 so its pretty good
