My computer has..
Nvidia GeForce 6150 SE.
I read that it is a REALLY bad video card.
I need to replace it with a better, modern one but I have a SLIMLINE pc from HP which means there isnt that much space inside.
Are all video cards the same size or do I need to find specific ones that are the same size as the old one to make it fit in my pc?|||I hate slimlines.
You have to find a low profile video card (it's about half the height of a standard card), to fit in that case. That's not too hard.
The biggest problem is that any kind of gaming level video card will draw more power than the supply in that slimline PC (usually 250W max) can provide. You can buy upgraded microATX power supplies to fit, but they are expensive. If that computer has a PCI Express slot, you could slip in a Radeon HD 5450 card (which takes very little power), but that's only good for HD viewing and very undemanding games.|||some video cards have a low profile bracket. A full size video card wont fit. You need one that supports low profile. First off, check that your computer has pci express 2.0 x16. If it does not it is not worth upgrading. Arguably the 5570 is the best low profile graphics card. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as… Another good card is the 4650. A bit cheaper for only a little less performance. Unfortunately with a slimline case you cant get the best stuff. Can you give us the rest of your specs. It would not make sense to invest in a new GPU (graphics processing unit/video car) if your CPU sucks. Also atleast 2 gigs of ram helps.
