Need to know what graphic card I should get for my computer

didn't know where to post, budget 170 or less, not sure if I should just bring my computer to the store, or to post here, I don't even know if this is the right place, but I'll try !
here's some specs. http://i45.tinypic.com/2j0b66c.png
must be able to run Diablo 3.
please help!

Allllrighty. Per the specs here : http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01949110&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en...
Your computer has a 250 power supply. This will also need to be upgraded.
Here are my recommendations
Power Supply : http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Thermaltake+-+600W+TR2+ATX+Power+Supply/9827268.p?id=1218179699692&skuId... I personally have the 750watt version of this in my gaming machine, and it's solid.
For graphics, I know you said 170, but this is a good card for the price. :

I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.

  • I don't know what graphics cards work in my mac!

    Hi!
    I want to upgrade the graphics card in my 2006 Intel imac but I don't know what cards will work.
    my specs are:
      Processor Name:          Intel Core Duo
      Processor Speed:          2 GHz
      Number Of Processors:          1
      Total Number Of Cores:          2
      Memory:          2 GB
      Graphics Card: ATI Radeon X1600

    This is what I thought also. But, FWIW, someone in a similar thread in which I posted the same answer as Kappy, replied as follows:
    This is not true iMacs use an mxm card it's also used in many laptops. You can buy cards on eBay and such and replace them my mxm 8800gs failed (really a gts) and I bought a used one with a ati 2600? Been a while so I'm not sure of the ati number. I did remove the card and put it in my iMac. I hate the urban myth that you can't change a card in an iMac is it's just not so. I do believe it has to be an apple card though and you might want to watch model compatibility.

  • Dont know what graphic cards to get for 790xt-g45

    Hey everyone. Im new around here and had a question. I have a computer with a 790xt-g45 motherboad was was going to upgrade my graphics card. I wanted to get 2 1gb cards but cant deside if i want to go with ATI or Nivida. I have a Nivida card now but I read online that this board is crossfire ready. Is it SLI ready too or is that just what MSI recomends? Any advice or info would help. Thanks!

    Thats kinda what I got from everything I have read. If its says crossfire ready and nothing about nivida slr then its only ATI crossfire. Just wanted to make sure before I pick out a nivida card, order 2 then find out the board will only work with ATI crossfire and return and order something else. Thanks for the info!

  • HP ENVY 700-074 Desktop - what graphics card do I need to install to use a blu ray player?

    I purchased an external blu ray player - "LG 14x external blu-ray/dvd writer super multi blue be14".  For some reason I thought my system was compatible.  However, it's not - apparently the Intel(R) 4600 won't work.  What graphics card would I need to install to allow using this blu-ray device?  What else do I need to know?

    Ah, I should add, the Blu ray player's support site (for Cyberlink) suggested a pile of different drivers - 30 or 40, but didn't offer any specifics regarding my particular system. What I really need to know is what would be the best option for my particular system.

    Hi,
    Unfortunately, your existing graphics chip is integrated into the Motherboard and as such is not an upgradeable component - neither is there a suitable slot to be able to connect a discrete card.

    Hi:
    That is an old model.
    The specs state it has onboard (integrated graphics).
    If you are sure it is just the graphics that is kaput (you would know that if you hear Windows boot up and the logon music sounds or something) then...
    I would get a used Dell Radeon HD 2400 on eBay which should work just fine for you, but you will need to have a monitor with a DVI connection and a DVI cable.
    This is the cheapest one I could find.

  • What kind of graphics cards can I get?

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ50 107NR
    My graphics card is GeForce 8200M G
    I need a  better graphics card but I do not know what is compatible with the laptop. Can someone give me a list of upgraded graphics cards I can get? I am wanting to play Diablo 3 but my card is too weak.

    Hi:
    The video adapters are not upgradable without replacing the entire motherboard. The only motherboard I see with better graphics has the GeForce 9200M, which I doubt will be much better.
    You would be better off selling or trading your notebook in and buying one with the graphics solution you are looking for.

  • Need to know what form is attached to a responsibility

    Hi,
    There is a need to know what responsibility in Oracle has access to a given form. All seeded Oracle Reports that I am aware of (Function Security Function Report, Function Security Menu Report, Function Security Navigator Report) require a responsibility be inputted into a parameter in order to run. This is not a feasible option as we have hundreds of responsibilities and we would need to manually review each output for a specific function or form. Does a report or other SQL exist where I do not have to specify a responsibility?
    I have attempted different ways for a custom sql but the difficulty always lies in the exclusions because you need to look in every single menu that has been excluded whether or not a function is attached (need to look at all the submenus). This is difficult because you need to go down the entire menu tree of each excluded menu and I haven't been able to do this.
    Below is the closest I have got for an sql however I am getting 207 results which I know is not correct. I'm wondering if the query when looking at the menu exclusions is not looping at all the menus that are excluded for a given responsbility? Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    PJ

    WHERE form_id = 10397)
    START WITH c.menu_id = frf.action_id
    CONNECT BY PRIOR c.sub_menu_id = c.menu_id)

    Hi Hussein,
    Thank you for the reply.
    For note "How to get information related to forms functions, menus and responsibilities for both 11i and R12 (Doc ID 953934.1)":
    The script for "How to retrieve list of responsibilities and associated menus" (SELECT RESPONSIBILITY_NAME, MENU_ID FROM FND_RESPONSIBILITY_VL;) isn't really giving that as it's just the one menu that is associated with that responsibility (and doesn't look at the menu exclusions).
    For note, "How To get List Of Functions Which Are Setup For A Responsibility? (Doc ID 549100.1)":
    I can already get a list of functions on a particular responsbility and even more so I know what menus use a particular function using the following sql:
    SELECT * FROM apps.fnd_menu_entries_vl c WHERE c.function_id IN (SELECT DISTINCT FUNCTION_id FROM FND_FORM_FUNCTIONS_VL WHERE form_id = <form_id>)
    This note does not help because you would need to do it by responsibility and I have hundreds of responsbilities I would need to search which is why the seeded reports I reference above do not work (you need to specify a responsibility at a time).
    I believe these are two links I need to look at to find what menus are associated and unassociated with a responsbility. In fnd_responsibility_vl, there is the main menu_id that says where this repsonsbility gets all of it's menus. This is where I look first in the first part of my query (b.menu_id is this link to the fnd_responsibility_vl table) :
    --Get all menus assigned to a responsbility that has a specfic function_id based on a form and takes into account function exclusions
    WHERE EXISTS (
    SELECT 1 FROM apps.fnd_menu_entries_vl c WHERE c.function_id IN (SELECT DISTINCT FUNCTION_id FROM
    FND_FORM_FUNCTIONS_VL WHERE form_id = 10397)
    AND c.function_id NOT IN (SELECT action_id from fnd_resp_functions frf where frf.application_id = b.application_id
    AND frf.action_id IN (SELECT DISTINCT FUNCTION_id FROM FND_FORM_FUNCTIONS_VL WHERE form_id = 10397)
    and frf.rule_type='F' AND frf.responsibility_id = b.responsibility_id)
    START WITH c.menu_id = b.menu_id
    CONNECT BY PRIOR c.sub_menu_id = c.menu_id)
    The next link is the "unassociated" link which is the menu exclusions. I'm looking at these exclusions similar to the part above however I don't think it's looking at all of the menus defined in the menu exlusions as my list of responsbilities is more then it should be:
    --Do not show any responsibiliy that has a menu in the excluded list against the responsbility that has the specified form/function
    AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1
    FROM apps.fnd_menu_entries_vl c,
    fnd_resp_functions frf
    WHERE frf.responsibility_id = b.responsibility_id
    and frf.application_id = b.application_id
    and c.menu_id = frf.action_id
    AND frf.rule_type = 'M'
    AND c.function_id IN (SELECT DISTINCT FUNCTION_id
    FROM FND_FORM_FUNCTIONS_VL
    WHERE form_id = 10397)
    START WITH c.menu_id = frf.action_id
    CONNECT BY PRIOR c.sub_menu_id = c.menu_id)
    It needs to be able to look at the menu trees of all of the defined menus that are excluded and find any menu that has that function as defined in the first sql of this post (if it is found in the exclusions then do not show it). However I do not think it is looping through all of the menus defined in the exclusions. Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    PJ
