what's wrong with the onboard vga? what do you need the pci card for? office? games? video?

Sorry, I need a good PCI gaming card, my graphics card that I have now is integrated so its pretty much crap.

recent gpus only support PCIe. even AGP (-interface) support is dropped. and plain PCI support has been killed quite a while ago.
buy a new mainboard and get a shiny PCIe card. or buy a gaming console :)

Not sure about good PCI graphics cards but one that caught my attention was the PNY Geforce 8400GS for many reasons:

It's on Play so easy and trustable to buy
PNY is one of the better companies that make GFX Cards.
It's £40 which isn't a lot.
Though memory doesn't always matter, 512MB is pretty high, obviously performance is lower because it's not a PCIe card.


Either way, I'm just buying this to be able to play sub-par games with decent looks and framerates. I have a PS3 for a reason

It's really hard to get a good pci card for video... Maybe the best solution for you is to change your motherboard for a new one that can handle newer video cards without any chip integrated

I ran this in an old dellr450 i had running with slocket adapter and a Tualtin 1.4 ghz cpu it ran world of warcraft around 25-30 fps so it helps out a lot since the PC was so old it was way overkill for that system but it is a good pci card for older systems.
