    IdeaCentre 3 Upgrade Advice

    Ah multiple screen, yes that was mentioned earlier and that makes sense, as an office/school pc you might need two screens

    IdeaCentre 3 Upgrade Advice

    If anyone is wondering, I got the card in today, so, firstly, due to the size of the fan this just about fits in (but is not 100% lined up so the hdmi is 1-2mm covered at the rear, but it's okay because I'm using the VGA). When running Eurotrucks 2 on High I can get 38-40 FPS and previously I...

    Thanks! Yes, well, I guess running Eurotrucks 2 on a higher setting would be nice, like I said, I was surprisied to see only 512 MB from the integrated graphics chip, so my hope is that a 2 GB video card would allow me to go up one level in a game like eurotrucks. But hey, I could run GTA 5? :D :)

    So I ordered Nvidia GeForce GT 1030 2GB GDDR5, I can see in my Task Manager that I have only 512 mb dedicated!!!!! So, 2 GB will be a step-up for only 58 euro.

    Hmmm, looking at what is (a) in stock (b) low power and (c) small I think the only option is this one "Nvidia GeForce GT 720 2GB" which is better than Integrated AMD Radeon™ Graphics right? I mean at 25 euro, what is there to lose, but which I see any difference in using this? Or maybe this one...

    Oh so I don't think it will fit, when I measured my PC case is maybe like 8 cm wide, but this is like 11 cm, hmmm. BTW it says it is a PCIE16X slot

    Well, the store has a 14 day return policy so, if it doesn't work I can return it, thanks for your help, I would not have understood that (apart from the physical size) the main barrier for me is the power consumption, the page you sent me says 60W, which I guess is better for me? The build in...

    Thanks again :) I'm looking at used ones, just so not to spend too much on it, so, thank you for your advice, I see this is 75 W and PCI-E (and I saw a slot marked PCI-E) so, what do you think of this? AMD Radeon RX 560 4GB...

    Thanks :) Ah no worries, it's more of a nice to have than a must, it is really a work and school pc, but I was just looking into upgrading. I'm 99% sure I saw a slot marked PCI-E inside.

    IdeaCentre 3 Upgrade Advice

    Hi all, not sure where to post, I got a budget PC on sale (nearly half price) and have already added in more ram. What I want to do next is add in a graphics card. Obviously too powerful is pointless, right, since it is a budget PC there would be bottlenecks elsewhere. So what would be a good...
