I have a Dell GX270 SFF. I need a graphics card to allow me to play the latest games. What type do I need?

Question

I've only got the inbuild graphics card for the machine and it won't play games like Rome Total War etc. I previously bought a SFF graphics card but it didn't fit (it was a PCI express) so I'd like to know if you can get a card to fit my machine. Any help would be most appreciated as I'm stuck without knowing what to look for ... Many thanks ... Alan

I've looked on ebay but can only find 32mb cards and I'm looking for a 256 ... I think ... does anybody know the name of a supplier I can contact?

Answer 1

go to www.dell.com or www.dell.com.uk.
you can pick what you need to be sure its compatible with your machine

Answer 2

The only problem with Dell PCs/Laptops is that they are special made and products that are not made by Dell are not normally compatible. Try and find a more advanced Dell graphics card if there is one out there. ATI Radeon has great graphics cards and you may be able to find one compatible as well. Just check there website. Good luck.

Answer 3

This motherbord is a mini atx board, which has an AGP slot.

So go for a AGP gfraphic card, with about 256 mb, try nvidia if you can they tend to run better on dell machines.

Answer 4

Well, where did you buy that SFF card? and how long ago? If it wasn't very long and you have the receipt, maybe you can take it back and exchange it..
