WReXSTi Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 (edited) I am looking to get a video card upgrade for my Dell Inspiron 537s. The PSU is 250W and the card needs to be low profile. What is the best video card that I can get that runs on a 250W PSU and that is under $80? So far I have found 3 cards, MSI GT220 MSI HD5570 Sapphire HD4650 Any other suggestions are recommended. Thanks! The games I will be playing are TF2, Portal, Fallout 3 Edited August 11, 2010 by WReXSTi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowKing Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 I would go with the 5570. On a side note get the GDDR5 version if you can find it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 Would you consider used, a 8800GT/9800GT could probably be found in that price range and would be far more capable! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bp9801 Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 A low profile 9600GT maybe, but not an 88 or 98. There is no low profile 5570 or 5550 with GDDR5, its just 2 or 3. I'd go for the HIS card though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go for the HIS card though. also will the fact that it doesnt have a fan be a problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 Not sure if you're in a taxless area but this is worth a look if you are: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150466&nm_mc=OTC-Froogle&cm_mmc=OTC-Froogle-_-Video+Cards-_-XFX-_-14150466 if not here: http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?p=PC-5570_51&c=fr&pid=c91b09a3b67715f1cfc1e4cc476eab1d0724350d6c1fc9bcc469951db3eae73a an nah the G92 core would be too much for that PSU, and the fanless design would be fine but why not get mine to save some dough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
