It's pretty much the lowest of the low for current gen Nvidia cards.Funkmasterr wrote: I'm guessing the one in my build isn't horrible?
Ok, a couple of questions. I could probably figure this out tomorrow when I can actually look at the computer but just trying to plan some shit out.miir wrote:It's pretty much the lowest of the low for current gen Nvidia cards.Funkmasterr wrote: I'm guessing the one in my build isn't horrible?
It's a rebranded 210 which can be had for under $40 these days.
It will run WOW no problem but it will probably choke on any game that requires a modicum of GPU power.
The $150 - $200 range puts you in the sweet spot for performance/value.
The Radeon 5770 is a smokin' card for around $150. You're getting similar performance to the nVidia GTX 260 for $50 less.
The only real problem is that I don't think there's a true single-slot 5770. Depending on how much room you have in the box, this might pose a problem.
If you prefer nVidia, I'd recommend the GTX 260 which will put you back around 2 bills.
I don't think they make a single slot of that one either.
If it's a 475W power supply that I see on Dell's site then yeah. I have a GTX 260 and it says minimum is 550W. It's an EVGA card though so not sure if other manufacturers requirements would be any different. I'd have to imagine they were fairly similar across the board. No clue on ATI specs.Funkmasterr wrote: 1) Will I need a bigger psu using the nVidia card? It doesn't seem that way but I want to be sure.
Just because it's running now doesn't mean it's the safest bet. You're risking component damage with an underpowered PSU!Winnow wrote:I operate my i7 4 hard drive, nVidia 285 system on a 480W PSU but it's a high quality PSU.
Buy a quality Power Supply. PSU is as important as everything else in your system and a higher Wattage doesn't mean it's better.

Those velvet bags are what sold me on Corsair. It was better than the bags you get from Sephora. I bought a 1000W PSU from them a few months ago, and it didn't come with the bag. Very disappointing.miir wrote:A couple of years ago I purchased a velvet bag from Corsair that came with a very nice 750W PSU inside.
Oh and the GTX 260 minimum power requirements are 500W (36A on 12v). I was looking at the 280 since it's in the same documentation.Aslanna wrote: If it's a 475W power supply that I see on Dell's site then yeah. I have a GTX 260 and it says minimum is 550W.
