Compatibility Help

[MoonKnightSpidey]

Hey Guys, I have a bad pc and I would like to upgrade and get a GPU. My current mother-board is as follows: Intel DG41RQ (J2E1) one x16 PCI-E slot with DDR2 slots. I have a lot of ebay links for parts. Would any be compatible? (I have a low ass budget. Don't say "GET BETTER PARTS" I jst want to know if it is compatible.

There are quadros for 18 bucks? Damn even if they are old...

Pretty sure no gpu would help bud

What processor do you have? That pretty much decides how much graphics horsepower you can put in that pc. Even some pretty new budget models should work fine with that motherboard.

I agree that they probably won't help, but I think that they would be compatible.

OK so pretty much any card you find under $ 50 shouldn't be bottlenecked by your CPU in most games. You're gonna have a really hard time playing anything graphically intensive from the last few years but older games and most indie titles should be very playable!

Things to note when choosing the GPU:

• ​Make sure your PSU can run the card
• Check benchmarks online to find out which one is the fastest!

Happy gaming

I'm unsure on finding whether or not my PSU can handle it,

Your PSU should have at least it's wattage printed on it somewhere. I would guess it's somewhere between 350-450 W. You can find power requirements for most GPUs online. You shouldn't have any problems with power delivery to the GPUs you have linked in the OP.

 

Many budget and older GPUs don't need extra power connectors, but if the card you're going to get needs any, make sure your PSU has the necessary connectors.
