Except for now the performance with the newer games has started to be pretty slow and heavy, and now that I bumbed into the fact that the graphics card isn't good enough to run Shadow Of Mordor at all, I decided to change it. So, I did some research and found a card that I would like, but am pretty unsure if it's compatible with my rig.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>The card I would like to buy is an AMD card called&nbsp;Sapphire Dual-X Radeon R9 270X with 2G GDD5R memory and OC Boost:<BR /><A href="http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?cid=1&amp;gid=3&amp;sgid=1227&amp;pid=2037&amp;psn=&amp;lid=1&amp;leg=0#" target="_blank">http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?cid=1&amp;gid=3&amp;sgid=1227&amp;pid=2037&amp;psn=&amp;lid=1&amp;leg=0#</A><BR /><BR /></P><P>More info:</P><P><A href="http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Graphics+Cards/AMD+Radeon/Radeon+R9+270/Sapphire+Radeon+R9+270X+Dual-X+Boost+OC+AMD+Graphics+Card+2GB+Graphics+Card+?productId=57842&amp;rqcType=r#rqc" target="_blank">http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Graphics+Cards/AMD+Radeon/Radeon+R9+270/Sapphire+Radeon+R9+270X+Dual-X+Boost+OC+AMD+Graphics+Card+2GB+Graphics+Card+?productId=57842&amp;rqcType=r#rqc</A></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>System requirements for the new card can be found on the first link. Now about my rig, I have an Intel i5-2320 3.0GHz CPU and a Nvidia GeForce GT545 graphics card. Other info can be found on the pictures below. Now I know that I will need a 500Watt powersupply for this new graphics card to work and I've been thinking about getting this EVGA 500Watt&nbsp;80 plus PSU as well:<BR /><A href="http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Power+Supplies/Non-Modular+650W+or+less/EVGA+500W+80+Plus+Power+Supply+(100-W1-0500-KR)+?productId=60504" target="_blank">http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Power+Supplies/Non-Modular+650W+or+less/EVGA+500W+80+Plus+Power+Supply+(100-W1-0500-KR)+?productId=60504</A></P><P>From what I could research it should be compatible with my Predator case, but I'll be taking measurements later on just to be on the safe side.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><IMG src="http://community.acer.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/5128i4B999B20FAF10448/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&amp;px=-1" alt="computer.png" border="0" title="computer.png" align="center" /></P><P><IMG src="http://community.acer.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/5130i75D3EF7A47FCF77D/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&amp;px=-1" alt="computer2.png" border="0" title="computer2.png" align="center" /></P><P><IMG src="http://community.acer.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/5132i1B536AAF82266794/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&amp;px=-1" alt="computer3.png" border="0" title="computer3.png" align="center" /></P><P><IMG src="http://community.acer.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/5134iE3C3916424F20C19/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&amp;px=-1" alt="computer4.png" border="0" title="computer4.png" align="center" /></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>So my question pretty much is, can I get this graphics card and power supply for my unchanged Predator G3610, or do I need to figure out something else and/or change my motherboard etc. (which I really wouldn't find optional at the moment, since I otherwice enjoy this rig as it is)?<BR />If you need more info, please comment and I'll be happy to provide as much as I can <img class="emoticon emoticon-smileyhappy" id="smileyhappy" src="http://acer.i.lithium.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.png" alt=":smileyhappy:" title="Smiley feliz" />, and thanks in advance!<BR /><BR /></P> Mon, 27 Oct 2014 00:49:53 GMT http://community.acer.com/t5/Desktops-All-In-Ones/Is-this-graphics-card-compatible/m-p/307474#M10550 SilentEve 2014-10-27T00:49:53Z
