graphic upgrade low end machine

yoshx

Hi !

just need some suggestion for my video card upgrade
i got 2-3 years old pc , with 450w ps , amd triple cored something at 2.6ghz, amd ka9neo2 mainboard with 1 pci express connection ,got 4gig ram ,and XFX ati 4890-
my card starting to give up

,and i am looking something to play Diablo 3 on a decent quality, just checked toms-hardware this is what they recommend :Radeon HD 7750 , -but for their test they used a 1000w ps, i guess it makes a difference. so any recommendation will be appreciated !

thanks !

What sort of bugdet do you have ?? I would say most people will recommend you an ATI 6850 or 6870 .

Cool and it will actually use less power too at load so cheaper electricity bills :D

yeah consumption is key factor since the ps only 450

+1 for 6870 got one a while back a Sapphire 6870 Vapor-X , great mid range card with low power demands
