Hello,

With my HP p6-2033fr (full specs: https://www.cdiscount.com/informatique/achat-pc-ordinateur/hp-pavilion-p6-2033fr/f-107082403-h1j52ea.html#tabtechnicaldescription) I have a lot of trouble running games (Batman: Arkham Asylum [35-40 fps], Skyrim [25-40 fps], I don’t even reach 60 fps with good settings on Counter-Strike: Global Offensive). I would therefore like to know if after upgrading my graphics card I could play more smoothly (and with better graphics if possible) in this kind of games, and if so, what graphics card would be suitable for me?

Thank you for your help and feel free to ask me questions if you need more information.

Best regards,

Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 14.0.1

    Hi HextaZ

    we need to know the power of the power supply, and the brand, and whether it has a PCIe connector to power a more powerful graphics card.

    6+2 pin connector

    see you

    no link on the page in English, I’m already stealing enough on my own

    Thank you for your quick reply.

    For the connector it indicates:
    3 (total) / 3 (free) x PCI Express 2.0 x1
    1 (total) / 0 (free) x PCI Express 2.0 x16
    1 (total) / 1 (free) x PCI Express Mini Card

    And for the power supply it would be 300 watts.

    Is that what you wanted to know?

      for the graphics card = no problem
      it has a GT 530

      for the power supply, it will also need to be changed

      so it has an Intel® Core(TM) i5-2320
      so you can install a GTX 560 Ti 448 Core, or a HD 7850

      Thank you very much for your help; are these changes easy to do by yourself, or do you need a lot of equipment?

      a medium Phillips screwdriver, 5 or 6 mm in diameter
      and also check if a wide flathead screwdriver is needed to pry off the left side panel
