WTB PCI-E video card


87GT

Recommended Posts

I rather help out someone on here and not microcenter. I need a low end video card for my media pc. On board video is not enough for watching a 1080p TS avi and this is all I care about. Not looking to spend much. 512 or maybe 256MB should be enough. Shoot me offers.

Pretty sure I have this one (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130281) that isn't being used.

 

Also this one (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150316) that I can't think of being used in any of my computers right now.

 

Will know for sure tonight when I get home and can physically check.

I remembered to look and found this one...

Bought it basically to use hardware acceleration with HD video playback a while back so basically the same thing you seem to want to use it for. Never been a big PC gamer so it hasn't been run hard or overclocked.

 

$30?

I know you said low end but I would like to sell this to help pay for a 660.

Let me know if you are interested.

 

That is a little overkill for what I need. A 660Ti is a great card. I have one in my other computer.

I've had one of these before. That would work but I only have a 300Watt PSU in it. You don't happen to have a bigger PSU or a card that requires less wattage ?

Only PSU I have laying around is a 350w. Are you feeling dangerous? lol

 

Never really looked at PSU requirements before because I typically have something ridiculous (750-1000).

 

The 7900 (if I could find it) also has a 400w requirement according to the Newegg page. Sorry about that.

Hmm I guess it would be okay as long as it boots. I am not sure though I always have more power like you. I guess I need to read up on how much power draw it would be decoding 1080p videos. Anyone else reading this know?
