You will need an adapter to plug the monitor in if the cable from the monitor will not go in the card. I will check out your site above for something that will suit. Try a search for Asus, Gigabyte, XFX cards in your price range. What I worry about is I have no idea who pny are. NVidia and ATI are just chipsets used by various graphic card makers. I think my two best bets would end up being the nvidia geforce 9800 ( hics+Card/8968094.p jsessionid=11F710F92CDA59CE7C27E19DE79FF F45.bbolsp-app05-25?skuId=8968094&id=1218006355798) and the asus ati radeon hd 5750 ().Īnd im leaning towards the nvidia because it'll do the job for me and its cheaper.
This is why I shut up until such time as I have enough information to give you advice.Īnd as for outputs i only need a vga output for my computer.

You also don't say what outputs you want like VGA, HDMI, TV out and etc. If it were me I'd look for an Asus video card and I'd go for a 4770. The integrated uses the RAM on your motherboard. So removing that and putting a 1gb or a 512 mb card wouldnt downgrade performance would it?Īny stand alone video card is going to be better than integrated. The cheapest one ($110) would do the job as well right?Īnd is there a big difference between a 1gb video memory card and a 512 mb one?īecause my shitty little intel integrated express card has 1695 MB total available graphics memory. borderlands and halo, run fine on maxed out settings. He runs a nvidia geforce 9600 gt on 4gb ram, win 7 os, core 2 duo processor and all his games, ie. A friend of mine said nvidia is a more reliable company.
