my config is 945gnt, p4 3ghz, 4gb ddr2 ram. i am not an avid gamer and i have an ordinary 400w zebronics smps. i want a midlevel graphic card. will my smps support a decent card? my budget is around 8-10k. i dont play any high end games, some old games like aoe3 will suffice. i am not planning on upgrading anything else, so i do not want my system to bottleneck the gpu. i prefer nvidia evga. thanks for any input.
ATI HD4670 is your best bet. Your 400w Zebby PSU will easily power it. Availability and pricing is a bit of a concern in India.
As far as Nvidia’s concerned, look into the 9500GT and maybe the old 8600GT as well.
A used 8600GT will be the best bang for the buck… 9500GT is not much better than the 8600GT..
Since u prefer NVidia, and eVGA is little costly.. i’d reckon Zotac 9600GT @ 6.4K. Rest of money you can spent on good PSU like Corsair VX450W @ 3.2K.
I hope you might be using 15’’ or 17’’ Monitor, 9600GT won’t bottleneck at monitors native resolution.
