Emachine T2862 Video Card Update?

Question

I have a Emachine T2862 and i just got some games. But they say i need pixel shader 1.1 to play. So then i learned i need a new video card, so can someone help me find a video card that is compatible to my computer that has that pixel shader? Also, if someone can tell me if Nvidia Geforce 6200 is compatible or not.

Answer 1

the GeForce 6200 PCI is compatible, it supports shader model 3.0 and DirectX 9

the fastest graphics card that fits in your computer is the ATI HD 2400pro PCI that already supports shader model 4.0 and DirectX 10.

Hi Dear ,  

I understand your concern and passion for games :D

so please go for something like 7300GS but first find if you have AGP slot or a PCIe slot where ya can fit in the card !

This will get you going...

Good luck

Answer 3

It's looking like your motherboard only has PCI slots on it.  That means you will have to buy a PCI video card.  Your best bet is the Nvidia GeForce 6200 but make sure its a PCI card.  It can't be AGP nor can it be PCI-e.  Here is one from Newegg.com

Answer 4

it should be compatible but your computer is reletivly older

SO

any video card you may get make sure and check how many watts you need to run it.

check your power supply box before you go video card shopping so you know how many watts that is.

you may need to upgrade your power supply as well.. just keep that in mind
