ASRock Penryn1600SLI-110dB

[Ceymore]

My motherboard is an ASRock Penryn1600SLI-110dB and although its a wee bit old now i'm stuck with it for now, I want to fit a graphics card capable of running dx10 or better, can anyone point me in the direction of a reasonable card that will fit without breaking the bank.

Cheers

We'll need a little more information to point you in the right direction...

Your current system configuration. The resolution of your monitor and, most important, your budget.

And welcome to the forum...

That's fine... :thumbsup:

Given your monitor resolution, I would get a HD7750/70 or GT650/ti. Anything higher would properly be a waste, but your setup should handle those cards fine. Just be aware that your system is borderline (CPU-wise) on the minimum specs, so you might have to lower the detail level a bit to get MOH playable... but it should run fine...

Thankyou kindly Mr Nickname,
I've been looking at all these cards and it's just beyond me, (I never was very intelligent), give me an old bike and I'll rip it apart and build it back better but this is mind boggling for me.

Many thanks for your help and advice and I'll let you know how i fare.
Cheers

We can't all be experts in everything...

Do let us know how you fare.
