Graphic Card suggestion.

[agm_1052001]

Hi all.

I currently have a 23 " Acer LCD monitor it has HDMI input. C2D 2.66 and 2GB ram. need a budget graphic card. I thought of Palit 9500GT / 9400GT both have HDMI output.

1> do i need a new smps ? I have the standard smps 400w that comes with cabinet.

2> any other graphic card that around the same price as above.

I am not a gamer. just causal gaming..racing and FPS stuff maybe an hour or less than that daily. need pointers on which wud be a better graphic card for me...

Sapphire HD 4670 512 DDR3 for 4.2k
Also Gecube can be considered around same price. Much better than 9500GT.

+1 for HD4670. DOn't consider 9500GT especially when HD4670 is available at such a price.

Ati radeon hd 4670 is what you should buy.

Alrite guys HD 4670 is the common choice...now again i m nt a gamming geek god (GGG) so tell me diff between shappire , ati radeon .. are they just diff companies using the chipset ?? and looking at the specs i think i would need a smps ..so which one should i go for ....

sapphire is a brand who makes cards out of ATI GPU. Other brands like sapphire are gecube, xfx, asus, msi , palit etc.

4670 generally dun need much power as other cards. It also dun need any additional power connector. So any generic 450W PSu can run it.
If u want to be on safer side, get a zebby Pro 400 or 450W PSU. They are for around 2k.

I'd suggest sapphire and msi. As for a new psu . I dont think u'll need one.
