Installing graphics card for the first time

[west_ray]

Hi,

I'm installing a graphics card for the first time. My current card is AMD 760G and sometimes it crash my computer. I have already set to buy EVGA GeForce GTX 650 1024MB. (budget under $150)

i seldom do gaming. Just occasional HD movies.

My qns is, how do I install the card? I took a shot of my CPU. Do I insert into the PCI 2.0? The GF 650 card is PCI 3.0, i assume there's no issue?

Backward compatible. There is probably no performance penalty either (650 probably won't saturate the bandwidth of 2.0).

Remember to plug in the aux PCI-E power. (We had one guy at another forum far away from here who plugged in only one of two for his 760...)

Yea no issue..

U must remove the pci slots cover on ur casing so that u can slot ur gfx in ~

On bottom left side de ~ only need to remove those beside the pci-e slot

If ur gfx is 2 slot type remove 2 cover ~ once u slot ur gfx in secure it with screws

Hi guys, i learnt that i have to ensure my PSU is power enough for my gfx. i looked at my PSU label and found this. Does it means that my max output is 237W or 450W? My gfx needs 400W

Have u brought ur gfx ?

Have u brought ur gfx ?

not yet. Not confident to buy. There's another issue about the connector. Gfx stated 6 pin but i only have 4 pin. i read that says there's adapter but yet to explore.

 

[Jian19]

U can consider a PC 7750 which dun require 6 pin and is a decent budget gfx

U also need to know the current it requires from the rail.
