Title: GeForce 8200 Motherboard
Post by: Mar on February 18, 2011, 09:14:57 PM
A friend of mine is looking for a graphics card for this MB and his price range is $200 or less. I'm not as tech savvy as I'd like to be so if you guys could make suggestions I'd appreciate it.

He might want something a little more powerful, but if we can't get any ideas I'll shoot you a PM. After all $20 is better than using onboard graphics. :)

Here's a few choices under $200 but I suspect he'll need to get a new PSU too to be able to run one of these.

You can also go to TomsHardware.com where they do a "best cards by price range" every month.

Here's your specs...http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_geforce_8200_mgpu_us.html (http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_geforce_8200_mgpu_us.html)

It has 1 PCIe x16/2.0 slot which is good for upgrading but we still need to know what power supply he has.
