Wanting to Upgrade Video Card
I got the $200 coupon from the HP price mistake. My mom needs a new comp just to watch videos. I was thinking about getting a p6-2200z at $220 w/ either a 2GB Nvidia GT630 or a Radeon HD 7570 2GB.Can I remove it to put into my comp, and give the comp to my mom using the AMD graphics? Will this setup be fine for just watching vids? AMD E2-3200 dual-core processor [2.4GHz, 1MB L2 Cache] w/ 2GB DDR3-1600MHz SDRAM [1 DIMM] |

How heavy the games are. The budget. How big a power supply you have, and if too small, the willingness to buy a bigger one. etc. Here [videocardbenchmark.net] is a benchmark chart for desktop video cards. The best way to use it is to compare the rank. That is to say that one GPU rated 87th best is going to be better than the 95th, but on the other hand, they are really close, whereas if you compare it to one that is ranked 300th, you know there's a huge difference. The list is searchable, making it easy and quick to find the models you are considering. For instance, the GT 630 you were looking at is rated as follows. GeForce GT 630 scores 706 points and is ranked 216th. Whereas the Radeon 7570 shows a better score. Radeon HD 7570 Scores 1136 and is ranked 118th, thus you can conclude that the Radeon in question is substantially more powerful. |
