hi all, my home pc is about 2-3 years old, one day i wish to play some games but end up couldnt even open due to some "shader version not valid" or something similar. Then maybe i think it is because the pc's internal graphic card is not good enough. So i decided to go and buy a better one to install. But then when i reach the hardward shop, the promoter ask me what kind of graphic card that im searching for? i was like then he ask me to go back and find out wut kind of motherboard is in my pc then only he can recommend which one i can use. So im came back and took a picture of the motherboard's box can anyone help me and let me know wut kind of graphic card i can buy for my pc coz i feel paiseh to go back to tat shop again

Ur motherboard have a PCI-e 16x slot .... so just tell them u want PCI-express graphic card. How much is ur budget for it ?

What type of GPU will depends on your PSU and your budget. Its good that if you can state your current PSU wattage.

my budget is 200-300

I suggest up a little and get a HD7750 RM350.

PSU wattage can be seen from a label beside PSU. For example below, look for true power or total power. Not Peak power.

icic...thx for teaching me new stuff. so means i have to open up my pc and look at the power supply rite, will do it now.

if psu cap ayam..better upgrade that want also to avoid further probs in the future.

i dono bro is my PSU cap ayam?

Yes, that generic PSU, the important thing is 12V x 20A= 240W, HD 7750 is low power card and still can be use on generic PSU.

omg
thank you so much, will probably get the HD7750. But which brand is better? i mean there are so many brands out there (eg: lelong), is there any differences?

ASUS,Gigabyte,MSI,Leadtek/Winfast,Club3D offer 3-Year warranty. Sapphire,Palit offer 2-year warranty. Do take DDR5 version as it faster than DDR3 even-though DDR3 have large memory.

lelong isnt a brand, its a selling place. brands is such as Zotac,Sapphire,ASUS,MSI,etc

bro better bring ur rig there and ask them upgrade for u

okok...thx

No need TS, DIY more fun and experience.
Plus there's not surcharge or bla bla charge.
Sending to kedai for changing graphic card like sending guitar to restring.
string only rm20 but charge rm50.
TS GO FOR DIY~~!

BTW the market price for Sapphire HD7750 around RM345.

btw TS if u confident try it..but if not send back to them to install stuff to u....but need pay charge la...

DIY better.. can learn many things too..

DIY surely better. But for most inexperienced user will probably damage the both the board and graphic card. Later lagi more troublesome. Cant claim warranty and causes further damage.

Anyway, if @TS don't know anything, (cannot fit or what) please will free to ask and dont force the graphic card to prevent damage
