Help me see if it s time to change my computer s graphics card

If you want to improve the game with minimal investment, you can only choose to change the graphics card. Considering the CPU and other accessories as much as possible, you can choose a low-end entry graphics card: NVIDIA GT640 GTS450, AMD HD6570 6670, **within 500 yuan.

Among them, GTS450 and HD6670 belong to the mid-range cards that are outdated, which are cost-effective and have a small number of sales in the market. However, they consume more power, and if the existing power supply is rated at less than 300 watts, it may need to be replaced, resulting in increased upgrade costs.

You can also change the graphics card, but the memory must be added. It's too small, 4G is the standard, and it is better to increase it with sufficient funds. The graphics card can be changed to a high-end one, but don't be fooled into changing those so-called 2G video memory DDR3 ** cards.

GTS450 and the like are sufficient. It's no longer interesting to go higher, the main bottleneck is the CPU.

Yes, you can change it to see how this is.

As long as you change the graphics card, the general graphics card is not too good, about 500, it doesn't matter if the memory is changed or not, the system is not windows7, and it is not very memory-eating.

You can run, but don't play with special effects.

If you don't understand something, you can continue to ask me.

If I can help you, I hope you can mine me. Thank you.

Yes, change to a better graphics card.

As long as the socket is as common as the graphics card interface on the computer!

At present, the graphics cards on the market are generally AGP and PCI-E, and there are also PCI interfaces. The old graphics card is AGP. The current graphics cards are all PCI-E.

When buying, you must distinguish it, otherwise the interface is not right and it will not be plugged in! Take a look at the graphics card slot on your motherboard first, it's best to use your mobile phone to shoot** or bring a bad graphics card, and show it to the seller when you buy it, so as not to buy the wrong one. The graphics card slots are all on the top one.

Give it points!

The same interface standard can be replaced.

The interface type refers to the type of interface used to connect the graphics card to the motherboard. The interface of the graphics card determines the maximum bandwidth of data transfer between the graphics card and the system, that is, the maximum amount of data that can be transferred in an instant. Different interfaces determine whether the motherboard can use this graphics card, and the graphics card can only be used if the corresponding interface is on the motherboard, and different interfaces can bring different performance to the graphics card.

At present, all kinds of 3D games and software have higher and higher requirements for graphics cards, and the amount of data that needs to be exchanged between the motherboard and the graphics card is also increasing. If the transfer speed of the graphics card slot cannot meet the needs of the graphics card, the performance of the graphics card will be greatly limited, and the best graphics card will not be able to play. Since the development of graphics cards, there have been several interfaces such as ISA, PCI, AGP, PCI Express, etc., and the data bandwidth that can be provided has increased in turn.

Among them, the PCI Express interface launched in 2004 has become the mainstream to solve the bottleneck problem of data transmission between the graphics card and the system, while the graphics card with ISA and PCI interfaces has been basically eliminated.

Look at what motherboard you have.

There is no problem of compatibility or anything, the only problem is that the motherboard is new and old, to be honest, there are some graphics card ports, what is agp pci pcie pcie, the new one is, the voltage of different ports, the bandwidth is not the same, to be honest, the old agp card is too expensive, it is recommended to change the motherboard.

Not everything is fine, even if the interface is the same, there is still compatibility with the motherboard. If you want to buy it, you have to figure it out before you buy it.

It depends on your motherboard, there is a PCI-E slot to add or change a discrete graphics card, and the integrated graphics card is shielded, but if you don't have a PCI-E slot, you can only change the motherboard.

Yes, but it depends on the support of your motherboard, or it is a waste.
