Looking for a better graphic card. Need feedback and suggestion

I'm looking to get a different graphic card but I'm not sure really what to buy,
These are my computer specs
Computer: Gateway Gt5228 Media center edition
OS: Windows Xp
Current graphic card: NVIDIA GeForce 6100 PCI Express Slot avaliable
I was wondering what would be a good graphic card that is a good significant upgrade. I'm looking for one that has a significant increase over what I have right now, it doesn't necessarily have to be the best out there.
I want to be able to play a game call Diablo 3
These are the High and low Performance, that the game will run with.

Which ones can i use with my computer but without the need to buy nothing else.
thank you

Honestly I wouldn't spend too much trying to upgrade your computer. It has an aging dual core Athlon processor, and only 2GB of RAM. Even with the highest top of the line card, with that CPU/RAM setup, your computer is probably going to struggle to run it.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news.

Looking for a good graphics card for World of Warcraft

I've been looking around these forums and it seems like the consensus is to go with the ATI HD 4870. I'm more a fan of NVidia, but if it works it works.
I have a first gen mac pro and just want to confirm that the ATI card will work on my machine. Right now I'm still using the stock (6800?) card and WoW doesn't look all that great at it's optimal settings on a 1900x1200 display - I'd like to maximize the settings as much as possible.
I am completely open to any other suggestions though. On the side I do some graphical work with Maya and Photoshop so any new card should certainly help out with those as well.
Thanks,
Adam Lawton

To this list I would add:
Radeon 2600XT
Nvidia 8800GT EFI32 version
You must purchase the Mac Pro version of these. With the 8800GT, it needs to be the EFI32 version for 2006/07 Mac Pro.
Sadly, neither the 2600 not the 8800 are easily available new. (at a reasonable price) EBay or your local Craigslist (in big city)

I am looking for a new graphics card to help with my 1.5GB files in InDesign.

I am getting "Out of memory " indications as my files gets to the maximum number of pages in my magazine. I am guessing that I need a larger capacity graphics card to help during the construction of the magazine. Any thoughts?

I have a Lenovo desktop with win8 and 16GB memory. I have an upgraded graphics card with 2GB memory. I am using CS6. My free drive space is in the 300GB range. I keep all data off line on a 1TB Buffalo drive. I am producing a 52 page color magazine that is filled with graphics and ads (40%). I rarely import graphics files and normally always link them. As I am moving around my file sometimes processing is slow. I have turned off the pre-flight and only use it when I am ready to go to the printer. That helps. I wopuld like to get back to sub-second response time and thought a better performing graphics card would help.

Looking for recommendation on graphics card for MSI H67MA-E45 board

This board doesnt have an adjacent psi-e slot, so any card that requires that is out right ?
So the HD 5770 is out ?
Any suggestions ,looking for something at least as good as a GTS 250.But not looking to break my budget either.Would like ,but dont need dx 11support
Thanks for any help .

Some of these cards list as- Required Peripheral / Interface Device- CD-ROM, adjacent PCI slot...
So all that means is it needs the space an extra slot would take up ,not the actual slot ?Thats seems a very confusing way to say that.

Looking for a new graphics card.

Before I post my specs; I cannot get a new power supply for a while, I ONLY want to explore gfx card options, I already know my choices will be limited so I would like those few choices to be listed because I'm not entirely sure if I can find the right one to buy, help would be greatly appreciated.

Everything you need to know, I will continue to look around, any suggestions would be great.

As I pointed out on another thread, shopping for something that you don't plan on buying for a while isn't worth while because prices, and models change constantly in the computer parts field.
A good PSU brand : ThermalTake, Corsair, Antec, to name the first three on my mind
Graphics: PNY, ASUS, Zotac, EVGA
For your case, i'd shoot for a 400-550watt psu, and then hopefully by the time you have enough saved up, shoot for a GTX 430. Solid card, good performance, lower price.

Looking for a new graphics card for new display

I recently purchased a 24" LCD monitor to increase my screen real estate. I was anticipating using the DVI connection on the monitor, but found out that the connection I have on the PM G4 Dual 1GHz is an ADC connector instead. Presently I'm using it in analog mode which works fine, but in anticipation of Leopard, I was planning on upgrading my video card (GeForce 4 MX, 64MB VRAM) with one that will support CoreImage, as this one doesn't. In addition, this monitor can pivot to 90 degrees in a portrait orientation, and I would like a card that supports this feature as well.
I tried my PowerBook G4 1.5 GHz with its ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 card, and find it supports CoreImage as well as screen rotation--just what I was hoping for. It works like a charm with the new display. I just need to find out what 4x AGP desktop cards support these features. Any suggestions? I appreciate your input.

Looking for a better heatsink help....K8N NEO2

Im looking for a better heatsink....any suggestions? I may oc it but for now I wont....it idles at 40-41 and stays at 60 when im gaming 58 if i turn off cool n quiet.....and thats with some ocz ultra5 Thermal compund....ThX

Yes, agree with SAB, zalman 7000 is a good one, however I´ve got 2 very simular K8N Neo2-systems but with 2 different cpu coolers.
One with zalman 7000alcu and one with Thermalright XP-90 and a zalman 92mm fan ( you can use what ever 80/92mm fan you like high speed, low speed, led colored, etc).
Both are equal regarding cooling to my experience, but I prefered the XP-90 because I did not have to remove the backplate ( I think zalman recommends mounting it´s own backplate to get the right distance/pressure between the cooler and cpu ).
With the XP-90 you just switch the retension mechanism which is easy ( even with the MoBo in the case ).

Better graphics card for Mac Pro 5?

I have a new mac Pro and have recently been having some trouble with a 3D modeling program that I use crashing constantly. I have looked into the possibilities of it being software related but after more research I've found that many mac users using the same program are having the same issue. They replied that more often than not the issue was fixed by updating their graphics card. My question is, is there a better graphics card out there that I can upgrade to, or is what I'm running already up there?

The current top-end card is the ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB. You can purchase it from the Apple store and install it.
However, I don't know whether it will fix your crashing issue.

That model MBP gives you a choice of cards to use – one at a time. it is not designed for them to run in tandem - splitting up the workload.

I'm looking for a PCI UMTS card for Portege M700

First of all Hi everybody, as above mentioned in the title is about the Portege M700, I'm looking for a PCI UMTS card for this model have here a 8775 Sierra lying around, but this is unfortunately not recognized in Win7, I can times someone may say what card for this laptop is, or even something where I could get so ...???
Thanks apologize in advance

Hi
You need a 3G broadband module?
As far as I know some of the M700 Portege series have been equipped with the 3G module I think its from Novatel but Im not quit sure
However, if you need an part for the Toshiba notebook which would be compatible for sure, then the best place for buying such part is your ASP.
The guys could check what parts are compatible and could order it from Toshiba if this would be really necessary

HP Pavilion Elite M9040N - Putting in a better Graphics Card

Hi,I've been searching for a even better Graphics Card than what I have in my computer right now.It seems that when I play the new updated Train Simulator 2015,my graphics can't keep up with the games graphics which they reccommend the Graphics Card 512MB with Pixel Shader 3.0 (AGP PCIe only) Iam trying to figure out which Card would be in the best to get and also be in mid price range or for a good deal.If anybody knows of a Graphics Card that I could upgrade from the current Nvidia Zotac GT 520 card that I have in my CPU already.I'd be greatful for anyone's opinion on this,Thank's! :-)

I have some sad news for you. The m9040n is below the minimums required for gameplay of Trainz 2015.
Your system has a 2.4Ghz processor, min is 2.8Ghz, recommended is an I-5 at 3.4Ghz.
The Zotac GT520 1GB 64bit card is too weak, but no sense upgrading the card. You do not the CPU power.
If your a steam internet sourced user, your ISP speed can be an added problem.  DSL is a no-play zone.

Graphics card needed to replace GeForce6800 Ultra on a G5 2.5Gz dual core mac, I always found it loud before it started displaying very basic colours and blocky graphics, could you suggest a quiet and cheap alternative compatible replacement card?
