Need to upgrade graphics card

Hi all,
I just installed Diablo 3 and am having major lag issues.  I have a stock graphics card so... Is the gtx550 a good fit?

Here are the recommended cards:

GTX550ti version PSU's all are rated min 400W @ 24A.
Corsair 500W http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139027   408W 12V  34A rated 500W max
Rosewill 530W http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182199 492W 12V 41A rated 530 continuous, 630W surge.

  • Need help upgrading graphics card!

    Hey guys,
    I am looking to upgrade the graphics card in my Quad core mac pro that I have had for about a year now.  I am a video professional and run FCS, After Effects, Blender, C4D, Nuke, Mocha and everything in between.   I also run 3 monitors, 2 24' Dell Ultrasharps and one older model flat panel strictly for project panels.  I have been reading about the ATI cards and NVidia cards.  Money is not an issue.
    Can someone help and make any recommendations???
    Thanks!

    I believe that the ATI 5870 (available at the Apple Online Store, ≈ $450) will work with all but the first generation Mac Pros. It's as crazy as Apple is currently supporting.

  • What upgrade graphic card do i need for a early 2008 mac pro

    I have a early 2008 Mac Pro.  ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB is what i have now.  What is a good upgrade graphic card to get.

    The GTX 780 6GB runs fine on the dual PCIe internal power cables -- as does the GTX 680 and Radeon HD 7950. The same can't be said of the GTX TITAN or GTX 780 Ti or Radeon R9 280X -- all of which require an auxiliary power feed to avoid a nasty power down of your tower at the worst moment when too much wattage is demanded of the Mac Pro's factory power supply.
    Did I mention that the GTX 780 with 6GB of GDDR5 matches the 6GB of GDDR5 in the TITAN?
    The one fallacy to my 'sweet spot' award has to do with OpenCL. In case you hadn't noticed, the AMD Radeon GPUs smoked the NVIDIA GeForce GPUs running Photoshop's OpenCL accelerated Iris Blur filter and rendering LuxMark's OpenCL accelerated Room scene.

    So depends on budget, whether you want a PC card for less but no "early EFI boot screen" prior to drivers loading, and what apps and needs you have.
    The one thing for sure is that 2600XT should have been retired ages ago and even more so with 10.8.3 and above, it could be trouble or just... PITA/POS.

    Hi:
    Graphics adapters cannot be upgraded simply. 
    You would need to replace the motherboard with one that would have better graphics (if one exists for your model).
    This would cost as much as buying a new notebook, so it is probably not a good idea to undertake such an endeavor.

    Hi:
    Unfortunately in most of today's notebooks (including yours), the graphics cannot be upgraded.
    I looked at the service manual for your notebook, and there aren't even any other motherboards with better graphics available.
    You can try the latest drivers from AMD to see if that helps, any but you can't do anything with the hardware.

  • Will I need a new graphics card?

    Final Cut Studio 2 required specifications:
    "An AGP or PCI Express Quartz Extreme graphics card (Final Cut Studio is not compatible with integrated Intel graphics processors)
    A display with 1024-by-768 resolution or higher"
    I just bought an iMac with these graphics specs:
    "ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro:
    Chipset Model: ATI,RadeonHD2600
    Type: Display
    Bus: PCIe

    Do I need a different graphics card to run final cut?

    No need to worry. You'll be fine with the GPU in your iMac. I've been using a G5 iMac (w/ a second display) since August 2005, and I've had no problems.

  • Upgrading graphic card on HP DC 8300 CMT

    Dear HP,
    I try to upgrade graphic card, on HP DC 8300 CMT (Intel® Core™ i7-3770 Processor, Intel HD Graphics 4000 )
    with Nvidia Asus GeForce GTX 650 Ti.
    As stock power supply doesnt meet requirements, I installed an additional  FSP Group Booster X5 450W.
    Once I turn PC on, it reboots 3 times, and eventually it continues to use onboard graphic and windows 7 loads as usual .
    like if new graphic card is not present. (not detected by windows)
    Bios version is latest and particular option  for disableing integrated graphic is grayed out- not accessible.
    Is there any explanation why this happens ?
    On DC 8100 sff It automaticaly disabled onboard graphic, altough it was low consumption Radeon HD 7750 Low Profile card, and there was no any problem.
    Regards.

    Hi, I apologise if I posted this on a wrong place in the forum. Im new here Anyway, this is the current PC that I have (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=uk&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c02991104#N68) and I want to upgrade the graphics card to NVIDIA GeForce GTX680. But I know next to nothing about computers so I would like to ask if the graphics card will work in my computer. Will it fit into the PCI Express x16 slot? And what kind of PSU do I need. And are there any other things that I have to buy in order for the new graphics card to work properly.
    Thank You very much for your kind attention

  • Trying to upgrade graphics card NEED ADVICE

    I have spend hours tying to find the right graphics card to upgrade.   I am not very tech savvy.  I just want to upgrade so I can play some games without have to buy a new system. 
    I just need help with figure out what graphics can be used in the current system.  Or if there is extra components I need. 
    System specs:
    Desktop Model
    Series HP Pavilion
    Model a6660z
    CPU
    CPU AMD Phenom(TM) 8250e triple-core processor (1.9GHz)
    Display
    Screen Options N/A
    Graphics card 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 9300,DVI-I, VGA adapter, HDMI
    Operating Systems
    OS Options Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1 (64-bit)
    Hard Drive
    Hard Disk 1TB 5400 rpm SATA 3Gb/s hard drive
    Memory
    Memory 4GB DDR2-800MHz dual channel SDRAM (4x1024)

    I will only advise you on the power supply issue:
    Do not buy that PSU !!!!  Look at the power label and compare a quality unit.  The Corsair CX600 is better.The 12Vline on the  Sentey is 20A, the Corsair is 46A, and more efficient.

  • Do I need upgraded graphics card for photography with 24" iMac ?

    I'm very close to ordering a new 24" iMac. I'm a photographer, shoot RAW & process in Adobe Lightroom beta, and can't seem to find out if I would benefit from the upgraded video / graphics card option. If this just for gaming and video or would I see some benefit from having it for my photo applications? I'm also debating on the value of ordering the higher speed processor for the iMac. I know RAM is the most important thing but not sure if I'm wasting $$$ on the graphics card and speed upgrades. Hope one of the experts here can help me make the right decision. I'm currently using a 20" G5 iMac with 1.5 gigs of RAM with decent success.

    Here is my personall philosophy on purchasing computers. Buy the best you can with in your budget. If your budget allows the cpu upgrade and the video card upgrade get it. Once you order, you won't be able to upgrade again and who knows what the future holds. It will also help to future proof your computer. If you only buy once every 3 or 4 years then getting the better cpu and graphics card will help tide you over near the end. Also, your computing habits my change in the future. You might decide you like doing video and then the 9600 gt card will indeed help. I just don't like limiting my future use by my buying decisions today.
