quick gpu/psu question

[Transerver]

my friend has a hp pavillion a610n and he wants to play nfs carbon so I recommended buying a cheap AGP card like this one under $50

Newegg.com - XFX PVT44AWANG GeForce 6200 256MB 64-bit GDDR2 AGP 4X/8X Video Card - Retail

would something like the 6200 require a new psu? I didn't think so but just making sure

Thanks

No, but I don't think it's gonna make Carbon any better.

 

[Transerver]

well the requirement is (ATI Radeon 8500 or greater; NVIDIA GeForce 4 Ti or greater)

and the one he has is integrated so I thought a 6200 would make it playable, it won't even run on his comp right now

Just go for something better like a 7600GT or 7800GS.

 

[Transerver]

like I said, he can't spend over $50

 

[peterhuang913]

then whats the point of upgrading?

 

[Transerver]

he just wants to play that game, he has an old integrated one that won't run the game.

I was asking if a 6200 would run that game, I thought it would since the requirement is just ATI Radeon 8500 or greater; NVIDIA GeForce 4 Ti or greater

just making sure...

It should run the game just fine, I don't think it'll be amazing but it should run it.

I got a 7300gt for sale. Its more powerful than that 6200.
