MadMitch15 0 Posted August 16, 2007 I want to play Counter-Strike and need a new video card. Specs: (from General Panel of System Properties) Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 2 Dell OPTIPLEX GX270 Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 2.40GHz 2.39GHz, 768 MB of RAM My current video card is a nVidia Geforce4 MX 420 in PCI bus 1. I want to know if I have AGP slots or (even though this is probably impossible), PCI-E slots. What video cards are compatible that will allow me to play Counter-Strike. I already play Guild Wars, and it will run smoothly providing that I put the settings at their lowest. Any suggestions? Share this post Link to post
jmmijo 1 Posted August 17, 2007 According to DELL you have a small or low profile desktop case which means you have to get a low profile graphics card. Good news, it does appear that your model does have both PCI and an AGP graphics slot. The trick is finding a decent graphics card in a low profile form factor, since most manufacturers only released entry level cards in a small form factor. I did a quick search over at NewEgg and came across quite a few AGP cards, however, only a few are low profile so I suggest using this as a guide to noting all the low profile cards and what GPU make/model they use and compare that to Counter-Strike and what they recommend as the minimum graphics card supported Share this post Link to post
