What graphics card do I need?

Question

To play games such as Pro Evolution Soccer 6, Call of Duty, Age of Empires, MS Flight Sim. Thanks

Answer 1

I have a Nvidia 6600 GT and that works fine. Anything in that class will work.

Answer 2

Well there are 2 major questions needed to be answered.
1st- does your Mother board have an AGP slot ( brown colord)
2nd- Does your mother board have a PCI slot ( white color)

Now if your computer has an AGP slot for adding an AGP video card then it would depend on the type of AGP slot you have and it goes by voltage. Look in the Computers book to find out or if you dont have the book go online and do a search.
Example, most AGP slots are 1.5 volts but newer and older versions differ.

PCI slots This really has alot to do with the Make, model. Now their are the old PCI slots which really isnt worth buying a graphics card for. The quality isnt as good as the new AGP slots.
But if your computer has a PCI Express slot 16 X then you can buy a Bad AZZ card for the computer.

It really depends on what you have to work with.

Answer 3

Those are higher end games, hence you will need a PCI-E card.

I would suggest this one --> EVGA E-GEFORCE 7950 GT PCI-E 550MHZ 256MB 1.4GHZ GDDR3 Dual DVI-I HDTV Out Video Card Price= $216 USD (Great price)
