Title: Can I get this graphics card????!!!
Post by: DaZa9 on July 14, 2013, 05:31:29 am

Hello everyone

I have a question I wanna upgrade my PC's graphics card.. my specs:

Processor: Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5700 @ 3.00GHz, 3000 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 2 Logical Processor(s)
Motherboard: GIGABYTE G41MT-S2PT
OS: Windows 7 Professional SP1 32bit
RAM: 4GB DDR3
Graphics card: Built-in Intel 4 Series Express Chipset  (G41 - 1.5GB)

So I want to buy Nvidia graphics card.. but I don't know if my motherboard will support it or not?
I want to buy Nvidia 210.. I know it old one but I don't have enough money because I will spend my own money because my parents won't let me get something like this because of my schools xD

but anyways I can see this is good one and its price is good enough for me and also I will get this especially because it can run Battlefield 3, Assassin's Creed III and all my favorite games.

So please let me know if I can get this one on my current motherboard

Thanks a lot

Hello,

You're going to have a hard time running newer titles like BF3 on an nvidia 210.  That's an extremely entry-level video card.  You're also on an older dual-core processor which isn't helping.

To answer your main question, as long as you have a PCI x16 slot, you can really run any current Nvidia card. 

What's your budget?  I can help you better knowing that.
