Best video card for playing poe

never mind i too did not look at your pc specs, the best card for a basic computer such as yours,despite two new generations from amd is still an amd 7750, no psu requirments or pins. a friend of mine was looking for something similar when i told her that's what she needed and absolutely loves it. enjoy!






edit: make sure you get a 1gig ddr5 card not a 2gig ddr3

Does your PSU have pci-e cable? If not, get something like gtx 750/750ti (newest architechture by nvidia even its on the 7xx series), which draws all its power from the motherboard.

Why no AMD or older nvidia cards? They use a lot more power and your PSU is propably an old chinese one which gives maybe 200w or less by now. Yes they degrade over time, especially cheap ones.

PoE gets bottlenecked by CPU very quickly so buying more powerful GPU will be just a waste with the i3.

Alright I checked out the GTX's and what I could do for my comp is:

720, 730, 750
610, 620, 630, 640
520
430, 440
210, 220, 240

So out of all those GTX series which is the best?

And I have one PCI-E x16 port

750 is the most powerful of those you listed. Ti versions are better than regulars

gtx 660 here zero problems in discharger/CoC parties.

Guys what's the difference between PCI-E 2.0 and PCI-E x16?

I run on GTX 750 with FX6300 cpu. I play on 1080p all max settings and have 60-120fps depending on situation. I also got 500credits for PoE when I bought this card.

The difference is data tranfer rate, cards are backward compatible.

for your budget and low power GTX 750 Ti and get like a 256GB SSD for like $80.

I was thinking of getting the gt 750ti but I've read things online and it doesn't seem to be compatible with my comp for some reason other people are having issues with it.

Running
650W
gtx760

Rainbownuke lags a bit but anything other runs fine.
