Looking for insight on new video cards

**19k01** · 03-12-08, 07:03 PM

I'm currently looking to upgrade the video cards on my 2 computers. First computer i have a pny nvidia 5200 series, and going to get ram, the only issue it has to be PCI. The second computer I have the stock nvidia 6150LE with 2 gb ddr ram, issue i have is it has to be PCI-E X16 Low Profile. I appreciate any ideas anyone has.

Do you prefer ATI or Nvidia or does it matter?

That's a pretty small card and fairly cheap if that's what you're looking for (currently out of stock, but they should get more in soon).

For the PCI card, what about http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130289

Or are you looking for something a little more high end that's still PCI? That might be a little tougher to find.

I'm just looking for a good chipset especially for the PCI-E, that was the PCI card I've been looking at lately. I'm looking for a card that will let me play on the med to high settings price isn't too much of an option. Both cards you showed me Keiron are definitely better options than what I have. Definitley going to keep checking everyones ideas.

If your computer will only accept a low profile card you will need to make sure the card you get has the low profile bracket included if not you will end up having to break the bracket to make it fit and it will never fit securely.

I would recommend this card instead since it has a new chipset

It doesn't show that your model is compatible but it looks like it would fit.

go to c:/program files/steam/steamapps/common/left 4 dead 2/left4dead2/addons

drag and drop the .vpk file you downloaded into that folder, restart l4d if its running, and enjoy. the path is the same for l4d1
