Buy a new graphics card

[AngelSego]

Hello, very good.. A while ago I bought some RAM, and a hard drive..
Now, I would like to buy a graphics card to be able to play good games, and stuff.. You know
I have an NVIDIA Geforce 6200 TurboCaché, is it good or should I buy a new one, if so.. What is the relative one or what is the best one for an HP Pavilion?

Thanks, goodbye.

@AngelSego:

Cual es la relativa o cual es la mejor para un HP Pavilion?

Una ATI Radeon o una Nvidia GTS/GTX :risitas:

Que juegos, que procesador, que monitor y cuanto dinero quieres gastar?

Tell us the rest of the components, but being a 6200 Graphics card I fear it will be AGP and your computer quite old.

Fortunately for him, the 6200 is PCI-E, so he has some margin.

Until you put the components of the equipment you have, budget, etc (go what Bm4n quotes) we will not be able to help you specifically.

Hello, the motherboard is an ASUS Puffer, the monitor is a 22-inch Samsung LED
Operating system Windows 7, 3Gb of RAM and two hard drives (one of 250Gb and another of 1000).
And the computer is an HP Pavilion 061.

Greetings:)

You are missing the processor, although I already deduce that it is a P-IV according to the HP page.

The reality is that you can't put a graphics card that is too powerful in that computer, the bottleneck it would create would be enormous.

This may be useful for you:

Sapphire Radeon HD 6570 Ultimate 1GB GDDR3 11191-27-20G Graphics Card

Sapphire Radeon HD 6570 2GB GDDR3 11191-02-20G Graphics Card

Best regards

I would put an ati 6770/nvidia 550 but it also depends on how much you want to spend.

Am I the only one who thinks there are too many graphics for a Pentium 4? maybe I'm wrong…

Anyway, the 6770 needs a power supply of at least 450W effective, and it sounds to me that the standard HP doesn't come with a very good power supply... :nono:

If it consumes 80W... it's not that much, of all things it's the maximum I would put on a system like this.
