Hello ,I bought this motherboard Asus M4A78T-E and the graphic card is onboard (ATI Raedon HD3300 GPU).
I'm thinking to buy a dedicated video card, my current video card is obsolete (Legacy) .. I mostly use Linux (Linux Mint 13) .. and so I like to ask what kind of card would best for Linux (NVIDIA or AMD/ATI)
I have read the performance of AMD/ATI drivers in linux are very poor ...
The specs of my computer are:
-AMD PHENOM II X3 720.
AM3 CPU SUPPORT.
2.0 x 16-2xPCIe
-Type of memory supported DDR3 1600 (by overclocking) / 1333/1066MHz.
-Currently I have 8 GB of RAM DDR3 1333 memory.
-POWER SUPPLY: FA600W AEROCOOL STRIKE-X MODULAR.
I would also like to know the steps that I have follow to install the new graphics , I do not know if these are correct :
1 - Uninstall proprietary drivers from ATI / AMD .
2 - Turn off the computer , open the box and put the new graphics card.
3 - Start the computer to enter the BIOS and disable the integrated graphics.
4 - Guide me to additional drivers and install proprietary drivers....
For the new card I had thought of the following models , these are just a few examples I've found , ( considering my CPU, RAM .. etc):
NVIDIA
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 OC 2GB GDDR5
Asus GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost DirectCU ii OC 2GB GDDR5
ATI/AMD
Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 OC 2GB GDDR5
Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB GDDR5
I ask for advice on which video card is best for my computer and the steps you have to follow to install the new card ..
Best Regards.
