Graphic Card for Q8200

10 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/graphic-card-for-q8200.139888/

I have a Core2Quad Q8200 CPU, and I want upgrade a HD 6870 Graphic Card... Is it right combination or not... Especially for Crysis 2... My PSU Model is Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 500W..

The processor is well suited for handling the Graphics card and there is very low chance of bottleneck. However, the cooler master Extreme series PSUs are having very bad reputation everywhere and it lot of cases they got danged when stressed a little.

Let us know the full system specification of your current system and the budget for upgrade. We can then suggest better options.

But CM Extreme Series with HD 6870 is not advisable.

get PSU of Corsair,FSP saga,or Strontium

You dont need such a huge Gpu for Crysis 2 cause its only dx 9(currently)
a 560ti would suffice.

Please mention the monitor you use. And also the total budget for upgrade.
