Look, there’s zero reason to shell out for 1GB of RAM here. Honestly, even 512MB GDDR5 is overkill for a rig like this. Buying more would just be throwing money down the drain.

The main issue is that it won't be able to feed that GPU enough data to actually hit its full potential.

If you ask me, the smartest move would be to hunt down a used Core 2 Duo or Athlon X2+ setup paired with a matching motherboard, then just slap in something like a 4670, 5670, or 4770.

Top-tier contribution to this thread 🙄

The 5670/6670 series? If you aren't pushing anything above standard definition, those 512MB versions will get the job done... though, let's be honest, even that's probably overkill for a rig like this. But hey, whatever.

Look, it’s not quite like that. Any of the cards being suggested are going to be a massive step up from what you're running right now 🙂. Or, if you want to be smart about it, look at the used market. Grab something like a 4870 for relatively cheap and you'll see a pretty decent boost 🙂

This LC Power 560W unit is basically on par with the XFX 450W when you look at the 12V rail😁

They're capping it at the stock frequency too. Honestly, they probably expect you to overclock the damn thing just to get any decent performance out of it.

Given the resolution I'm running, even a Radeon HD 7770 with 512MB might cut it. You can find some listed right here $250 🙂

You don't need anything that overkill... an XFX 450W, an XFX 550W, a Seasonic 520W, or even a Corsair VX 450 or 550—with any of those, you’ll still have plenty of headroom left over.

The 2412 should perform right on par with the HP zr24w....The real question is what they're going to charge for it, especially considering how cheap the Dell UltraSharp U2311h is right now. If it hits that 16:10 aspect ratio you're looking for and stays at a reasonable price point, it'll be a solid contender. But honestly? Whether it’s actually "good enough" to justify spending enough to buy two of the 2311s is another story entirely. It would be great if this new 2412 could match the value of the 2311 and land somewhere between $200 and $833...if it does, then yeah, it’s a winner.

Andrew Miller102 said:I’m sticking to the $600 budget he mentioned$233. I want the best performance possible within that limit—that’s the whole point, right?😁 If you happen to track down a 5750 or a GTS 450 with 1GB or 512MB DDR5 for under$233 that price, let me know. You could check Best Buy, but honestly, don't hold your breath. The only other thing fitting this budget is this specific model here; it’s got 512MB of DDR5 memory, which is still a solid choice. The cooler is decent enough, though the one on that VTX 3D model above is significantly better and more efficient by comparison.😁☕

They have plenty in stock if you're looking
—specifically the 6750—but that's basically the same🤔 k

Honestly, you're better off grabbing a 5750/6750 or maybe a GTS 450. They aren't much more expensive, but they'll give you way more bang for your buck.

You did the exact opposite of what you were supposed to do. You’re meant to wipe the drivers *before* swapping out the card.

Actually, forget it—just boot into Safe Mode, run Driver Sweeper, and scrub the drivers for both cards completely. Restart the machine and let me know how it goes... if it's still a total mess, your last resort is just a clean Windows reinstall.😬

The XFX unit will do the job, and honestly, it’s basically that same Seasonic... if I were putting down $33 more cash, I'd go with the XFX 550W

Dell UltraSharp U2311

What kind of ranking is that if the 460 is three times more powerful? 😬 How much cash are we talking about here, and what does the rest of the build look like?

Alright, check this out:

That amp used to go for about $167, honestly. No idea why they're letting it go for such a steal, but you might as well grab it while you can 😁.

This NVIDIA GTX 460 absolutely crushes any 550 Ti out there.

GT 430 low profile:

edit: Honestly, you're better off hunting for a low profile 5570; it actually packs a punch. If you can scrape together a little more cash, aiming for a 5670 would be the move—that's pretty much the ceiling for what'll fit in that case.

The Dell U2311H would absolutely eat both of them for breakfast.

Just so we’re all on the same page here, clock-by-clock, the GTX 560 is about 10% faster than the GTX 460... honestly, the GTX 560 is basically just a GTX 460 running at higher clock speeds (kind of like those Overclocking models you see everywhere)
