Post by: FOTEPX on September 05, 2011, 01:12:30 PM: Right now I have no Graphics Card at all, and I'm in DESPERATE need of a good-un. I'm rocking a HP Pavillion with a 1TB Hard Drive and 4GB of RAM. My budget's around £200 ($250), so what wouild you recommend?

What interface is it? PCIe? AGP?

Post by: Serge on September 05, 2011, 01:29:13 PM: a) get a clue about computer hardware first
b) you HP pavilion may not be made for expansion - it may be too mslal to fit a gfx card, the PSU may be too weak, or it may even have no gfx cars lot at all
c) that riva TNT2 is older than you
