GFX Card for GA-G41MT-ES2L - URGENT !!

B

Hello,

Need your suggestion for a GFX card for the Motherboard GA-G41-ES2L,

Budget ~ 5k . . also let me know for any additional PSU needed.

It is a very old board, but a rookie question would be "I would expect a board which I may use for future config if possible".

Thanks in Advance for your suggestions !!

Sapphire R7 240 1GB -5100.
Sapphire R7 250 1GB -5900.
Both prices are from snapdeal.

Buy R7 240 with GDDR5 memory.

Not with DDR3.

1 GB GDDR5 is enough. Don't fall for 2 GB DDR3 trap.

Would I need to add a PSU to it ? and I just need to make sure that I should be able to use for future upgrades.

Im not sure of the PCIx version of my board and the Card is of version 3.0 if I have checked correctly. Will it conflict anywhere ? Just a doubt.

Yes, i am considering R7 240 with boost DDR5. Price on flipkart looks reasonable.

It doesn't seem likely that this card requires an additional power connector,therefore i don't think you'll have to upgrade your PSU to be able to use it.However if there are no constraints on your budget, i'll advice you to go for a new PSU such as Antec VP 450p just to be on the safer side.

And newer PCI-e cards are backward compatible with older boards,so you'll not face any compatibility issues if you use this card on your system.

getting a good reliable psu always gives peace of mind. get antec bp300p at 1.8k

As i've been reading the reviews about the R7, I am little sceptical about the AMD cards that's because of the heating issues, should that be a problem or if you can suggest any Nvidia cards.

what heating issues? if you can then please post such links also.

So now im in a slight confusion wrt to these two cards . . can someone suggest please

I also intend to buy a PSU . . but confused between corsair cm and antec . . I know you ppl have suggested antec but any specific reason to go for it and any other decisive difference ?

250 is faster than 240.
For the psu, ante vp450p or seasonic ss400bt is fine.

For 250 the PSU requirement is 500W . . so the antec PSU will suffice or shall i take a higher one ??

those psus are perfectly fine. you dont need a higher wattage one.
