ColinJohnson Peon Posts: 5 Joined: 02/10/2013	Hello community, I need help with choosing a good gaming graphics card (doesn't need to be high-end) that my old computer supports. I've got an intel d975xbx motherboard and whatever graphics card you guys recommend it needs to be compatible with that motherboard. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Colin P.S. The only game I play is DotA2

It also depends on budget and upgrade plans. A good video card can last a few years, maybe that dual core will be replaced sooner. ------------------------- CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 810 @ 3250MHz \| RAM: Kingmax 2x2GB DDR2 800 @ 833MHz\| MoBo: MSI K9A2 CF v1.0 (BIOS: 1.D)\| GPU: Asus HD 6850 1024MB (DirectCu) @ 850/1100MHz \| Display: Chili Green Vision L24FHD \| PSU: PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 Quad \| OS: MS Windows 95 x64 Edition CPU: Pentium 4 Northwood S478 @ 3200MHz \| RAM: 1,5GB DDR 400\| MoBo: Gigabyte GA-8S661FXMP-RZ \| GPU: Abit Geforce Ti 4200 \| Display: Dimarson 19" CRT \| PSU: Noname 400W \| OS: MS Windows XP Pro, Fedora 18
