I see that you have two lcds listed. Is it required for the new video card to have dual-DVI connectors?
Do you need DVI & svga connectors?
is there a maximum price (budget) for you?

Does your power supply have a 6-pin PCI-E power connector?

My first thought for entry level gaming is a Radeon 7770, but it only has DVI, HDMI and displayport. It also requires a 6-pin power connector, which your power supply is indeterminate quality, so I would even hesitate to recommend a video card that requires supplementary power.

yeah i need 2 lcds inputs, i am not sure about the 6 pin connector,max budget is 50euro my power supply is 420W if u gimme a link of the pin i will answer u soon.

 

[J Macker]

50 euros is not enough for entry level gaming.
The options are basically limited to either a Geforce 610, 620 or Radeon 6450. Those cards are designed to play videos and connect to TVs, not play games.

If you want to play games, the minimum you should get is a Radeon 7750 or 7770
or a Geforce GTX650. These all cost at least 90 euros.

atm i am out of money and until january or march i need a lil bit of improvement in a low cost.do u think these models u mentioned will improve a bit my performance?

 

[J Macker]

Which games do you play?

 

[bullseye]

rift,league of legends,counter strike source,teamfortress,rift is the heavier!

 

[J Macker]

You really should get at least a Radeon 7750.

But if you need to keep the price down, get a Geforce 630 or a Radeon 6570.

or

I don't think that 1GB or 2GB will be any noticeable performance difference.
yes, these cards are faster than your current Geforce 9400.

thank you a lot sir.for your time and all i appreciate D:

 

[bullseye]

by the way something else i noticed about my mobo pci input.Wont the memory speed get halved from the GPU? i think its not pci-e 2.0 its just version 1.0 will i have any problem with compatabilty?

 

[J Macker]

the PCI-e slot on your motherboard is compatible with pci-e 2.0 compliant video cards.
for the video cards you're looking at, it's not even close to being limited by the slot bandwidth.

So yes, it will work fine and performance is not limited by the pci-e slot on your motherboard.

thank you again.
