So, after you install the card, do you boot into safe mode in order to install the drivers or do you just boot into windows with the monitor hooked up to the old vga port first? That is my confusion. I ordered a couple of used GPUs last night so I hope they will go in the slot! I know they are low profile but not sure about them being PCI Express. Thanks for all the time taken in this response and the knowledge with it! I have considered most of these things but not the PCI express slot. A DVI to DVI direct connection is best & the cable is really cheap, unless your current monitor doesn't have a DVI input. Only you can answer why you would want to use an adapter to convert from DVI to VGA. Wouldn't this work so I could use the cable I already have? Also note that this DVI technology has limited bandwidth, the monitor should not go higher than 1920x1200 resolution 60Hz refresh. Make sure your monitor supports this DVI port as well. The AMD HD 7470 doesn't have the regular vga connector for the cable I have for the monitor. Incidentally - this table can be quite useful in weighing up the relative performance capabilities of different GPU models (although some obscure/OEM model numbers may be missing). generally no more than 60 watts).ĥ) Are drivers available for your version(s) of Windows (or whatever operating system). don't require additional PSU connectors, e.g. So you need to check several things (if you want to get a better GPU card), at least.Ģ) Is the expansion slot 'PCI Express'? (picture looks like it probably is).Ĥ) Does any new card have the output signal/connector/adapters compatible with your monitor(s).Ĥ) Carefully check any potential new card's power requirements - you probably should stick to cards that draw all power from the MB's PCIe slot (i.e.
Not sure if it has been mentioned - that GPU card you pictured appears to be a 'Low Profile Card', so be careful if you buy any new card as standard cards would probably be too high for the PC case/rear expansion connector 'L-bracket'.

Personally, I always install the hardware first > then decline Windows when it asks if I want it to search for driver** > then I install the driver either from CD or run an driver installer downloaded from the manufacturer's website.
Disable the GPU that is active right now and install the driver of the GPU card you are installing, and then restart the pc, your pc will find the new driver for the new card and you are in business that is how i used to do it, unless i am doing it wrong
