Hmm. A 1k difference is substantial. With the 465 theres a chance to unlock it to a 470. It may run hotter but it can play games at high details..

Simply putting it no you cant use them. Nothing to discard. Remove the older card and put in the new.

Recently I bought a PointOfView GTX 560(non-Ti) from TechShop.in. It is an underclocked card.It has clock speeds lower than reference specs of GTX 560 where as we can see many other brands giving cards with atleast a slight upgrade from reference specs. This card seems to be one of their variants of their GTX 560's only selling in India and some other countries. I am posting this so that others will be aware of this info. Be careful buying unkown brands.

PSU - Mercury 400W (came with cabinet: 17A on 12V rail)

Tell me the best GFX CARD that will not get bottlenecked by current CONFIG

No the motherboard is not a problem. If you are having a 8800 GT (you have asked in your previous post) then change the PSU and use it. Your processor won't bottleneck the card.

NitrousNavneet, none of the cards, HD 6450 and HD 5450 are not able to play GTA 4 even in moderate setting at resolution over 1024X768. Let us know what is your budget so that we can suggest something better. However, at low budget best choice is Sapphire HD 5670 512 MB GDDR5 @ 3.9K.

I want to buy a 5450/6450/GT520 to play games released till 2007 and run Windows 7.
Regarding PCI slot in my BIOS it gives me an option between IGP/AGP or PCI slot to choose for display device.I think that means my pc has a PCI slot.
Any other way by which I could recognize a PCI slot.
Please suggest fast as I need to buy the card till tomorrow evening

Your motherboard does not have any PCI Express X16 slot and has a AGP 4X slot. So any current graphics card can't be added on it. Check in you local markets if you can find AGP versions of some old cards. But most of the AGP cards available are very weak cards. So no luck here.

That is PCI, not PCI -E or PCI Express. There are display cards available with 8MB or 16MB memory that can be plugged in the PCI slot for dispaly output. Also there were certain Gfx cards designed for PCI slots. But they are now history as any good Gfx card will be bottlenecked by the very low bandwidth of PCI slot.

Your comp is EOL now. So better opt for a new one.

I know my comp is EOL.Would get a laptop in March when 7000M and 600M series will be widely found in the market
I think Zotac recently released a PCI slot GT520

Ok fellas so I ve finally got msi 560 instead of 550ti cyclone. Ordered it at itwares and will get in a day or two. Meanwhile I want some suggestion about my mobo. I have an Asus M4N68T-M LE VT. Just want to know that is my current mobo compatible for msi 560, or do I need to change it also. If I need to change then plz suggest best suitable mobo for msi 560 within 4-4.5k.
And can I install GPU+PSU myself?? I ve never done it before :fear: Any guidance will be much appreciated.

My GTX 560(non-Ti) is hitting max temperature of 90 degree celsius(as shown in MSI afterburner) when i run any game for sometime. Is that normal?

Should be around 80. It's a bit on the higher side. Try checking in GPU-Z.

anyhow, GPUs can sustain that high temperature. Not much to worry about.

@SHUT...UPPP, as long as it has a free PCIeX16 (or X8 slot), you can plug in any damn PCIe based GPU.

check with GPU_Z or CPUID HWMonitor. i really don't trust MSI AB's readings.
