upgrade

I think your best choices would be a 5770, a 4890, or a GTX260 depending on whatever best price you could find. None of these would require an upgraded power supply.

Guru3D says the card will require at least 38 Amps available on the 12 volts rails.

If this is the PSU the client has, he has a total of 19 amps on the 12 volt rail:

He cannot power a GTX 260 or any comparable GPU. We don't even know if his PSU has PCI-e cables! You sure as shit don't want to run this thing off molex adapters.

Have you read anything posted so far in this thread?

But its not.

why not?

why not?

A GTX 465 is not worth it, because it costs as much as a 5850 yet significantly underperforms a 5850.

thanks for all the suggestions

because the 465 performs like a steaming pile of shit for the same cost as a 5850.
