I need help on buying new graphic card for cs dota

[JoeyD]

I have an Dell Optiplex 9020 MT computer. I play dota 2 and cs go. I need to buy upgrade my graphic card and don't know what to buy. It says I currently have Intel HD 4600 graphics driver.

So any suggestions? I don't know much about computer so I can't rebuild it.

Inter Iris Pro graphics is better than 80% dGPU

AMD A-10 APU series is designed with e-sports in mind

take the side off and get a photo we need to see how much clearance the GPU will have and the motherboard model number if visible

it appears you don't any spare PCI-E power connectors, and it's a completely custom Dell motherboard

So aren't there any other graphic cards? And how much will it improve from Intel HD graphic 4600?

there's 750ti and there's also this:

actually if you look closer on the picture of that ASUS card posted above, it actually requires an additional 6-pin connector, so don't use that, get a 750ti or this 950 from EVGA

it will improve performance radically

So should I buy that doesn't require PCIe power connection?

your power supply has no means of providing auxiliary power to a GPU so a low power GTX 950 from EVGA is your best option.

i would recommend a 750Ti or 950 but do check if your 1 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16  so that you get full performance of the GPU.

sorry I was right, it WILL work, the power connector is optional for this card.
