My video card burned out. Is this a good enough replacement?

Nvidia Geforce 9500 GT with 1gb memory. The video card that burned out was a 7600 GS with 256 mb memory. Sorry. I don't know what any of these mean. I'm just asking because the built in motherboard video card doesn't seem to run my apps like Google Earth or Sims 2,3 properly. I'm just wondering if they'd run in the new video card.|||Well, you can't be completely sure. If you know enough about your motherboard, then this will make sense. I looked up your old graphics card, and it said that the slot it fit in was a PCI Express x16 slot. Well, the graphics card you would like requires a PCI Express x16 2.0 slot. So, if you know that your computer's motherboard has one of those slots, then you should be fine, if it doesn't, then it's not worth buying it at all. Otherwise, it should play those just fine. Here's what your x16 slot looks like, as well as a few others: http://www.ferra.ru/images/141/141084.gif And your x16 2.0 slot looks like this: http://www.3dnews.ru/_imgdata/img/2008/05/23/fox/slots.jpg (It's the one on the far right)|||You can damage your card by using an inadequate power supply.



Power Requirements:

7600GS models

Minimum of a 350 Watt power supply.

(minimum +12 Volt current rating of 18 amps)

An available 4 pin molex connection



9500GT models

Minimum of a 350 Watt power supply

(minimum +12 Volt current rating of 18 amps)|||Yea im sure it would be a great replacement, i think i have a geforce 8500 and it plays everything and alot of things on high (bioshock on high, dawn of war on high, crysis on high but not maxed). Yea just make sure you have a pci express or pci slot available.|||they will run perfectly fine with the newer card. Before you purchase make sure you have a slot that will fit the new card.|||yes they would run fast.
