No idea. I bought my current card about 6 years ago, so it's ancient in tech terms, but still plays everything I want it to. I haven't really kept up with numbers and models since then. However for a decent card you'd probably be looking to spend around £200. Which is probably about $20 these days. Drawings n' that PIBEES

If you Linux you want nvidea, or so someone said once and I'm clinging to it because I don't do keeping up with tech anymore.

It was the displayport to VGA adapter causing the problem. The card only has digital outputs, I needed an adapter to convert the signal to analogue to work with my VGA monitor, but the card couldn't supply enough voltage to power the adapter. Bought a HDMI to VGA adapter that has a 5v USB input for £5.99 and have had no problems since. Cheaper than a new PSU !

Worth spending that £90 on a new LCD monitor? Unless your current monitor is special? A

It is an LCD monitor, only a couple of years old, just not a digital one. Works perfectly well, why should I change it ? Any advantage to a HDMI/DVI-D monitor over a standard VGA one, both just a means of displaying an image after all. Quality might be better, refresh rates and response times faster - but would I really notice any difference, I mean a really noticeable difference ? I can barely tell the difference between a standard TV picture and a high-def one !

That's fair enough then, thought you could be using a CRT. A

If you have a flat-panel display and a hurricane blows out your windows, the flat-panel would fly across the room like cheap cardboard, and your desk would flip over, smashing your pc to the floor. :-( But if you have a CRT display it won't even budge, and all you would get is some water damage. :-) And, since you are likely to also have an obsolete pc, you won't even care. :-D “Hillary received more votes for president than any white male in U.S. history. Including Donald Trump.
