    Hey Guys,

    I'm looking for advice on upgrading my graphics card as recently Ive come into some issues with my current graphics card wont run newer games

    the spec of my current graphics card is:

    Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP, 32-bit (Service Pack 3)
    DirectX version: 9.0
    GPU processor: GeForce 7900 GS
    Driver version: 285.58
    DirectX support: 9.0c
    Core clock: 450 MHz
    Memory clock: 660 MHz (1320 MHz data rate)
    Memory interface: 256-bit
    Memory: 256 MB
    Memory type: GDDR3
    Video BIOS version: 5.71.22.29.09
    IRQ: 16
    Bus: PCI Express x16

    if there's any other specs I can put up to make things easier just ask.

    Price range for the new graphics card would be ideally at best around 100 euros

    Thanks in advance

    Whats your power supply look like. Anything is an upgrade from that old wafer. 7 generations old at this stage. Coming on 8. GT 545 perhaps?

    1.open your tower.
    2. look whats is written on PSU.


    at this stage PSU is the main thing that will limit you in GPU upgrades.
