my brother has an hd 4600 series video card and wants to upgrade to play more recent games at higher settings. his budget is about $70.
heres what his current specs are:
athlon II x4 640
hd 4600 series video card
4 gig ram
and a power supply that is around 500 watts (i dont remember exactly)
so which card do you think he should get? heres one i found:
Newegg.com - XFX HD-567X-ZNF3 Radeon HD 5670 1GB 128-bit DDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
but this card has a pci express 2.1 x16 and his mother board only has pci express 2.0 x16 slot (along with 2 pci slots). would the card be compatible with his motherboard?
and another thing i thought of would be to upgrade my video card (5750), and give the 5750 card to him (so doesnt have to spend any money). but my pc runs all current games just fine so im not sure if i want to upgrade. my budget would be around $100.
so what do you guys think?
