felinekisses Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Im lost, and not the best when it comes to techie things. I have an Optiplex 755 sff, 6 gb ram, Dual Core E7500, and I need to upgrade my video card. Power is only 275 watts. Any suggestions? This lag is killing me! Please, dont say a better pc.

Really, you're going to have to buy a better power supply if you want to upgrade your video card. Further... An Optiplex 755? I don't think you could fit a video card in there anyway. Really, your best bet is to buy a better power supply, buy a video card, then throw away your case and mount the mobo and components to a piece of plywood or something (which I have done, it's not pretty, but great for accessing parts for cleaning and upgrading). ... Or buy a better PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohjiro Watanabe Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 You could try SLGO https://slgo.onlive.com as an alternative to upgrading. or Radagast viewer. Unfortunately Radagast is not up to date with the latest mesh stuff as far as I know so you will get some graphics glitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean Horten Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 According to the tech specs of the optiplex 755 the mainboard has got a PCI-Ex16 slot on the mainboard, so you should be able to put in a widespread variety of gpus if you upgrade the psu too. This gpu should fit your case: GTX 750 low profile What is your budget for a new gpu? J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Bhalti Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 SlGo ends april 30th, sony bought the service, so it's getting shutdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohjiro Watanabe Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Yeah, I saw that news today. To be honest it was a bit of an expensive solution at 10 bucks a month. I would prefer to invest in a decent computer, but there you go, horses for courses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Bhalti Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 yep, I've seen already people begging for LL to make a solution such as offered by onlive, but the computing power,bandwidth and a few other obsetecles would hurt LL more then it would help.

Qie Niangao Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Yeah, unfortunately SL Go was the best bet with these constraints (assuming internet bandwidth isn't another constraint). The problem is that a videocard is just the beginning of what's limiting this machine. This is a 2008 machine, and a "business" PC at the time. I'm afraid that any upgrade to this thing is just throwing good money after bad. Instead, I'd suggest cranking down graphics settings to the bare minimum (especially draw distance), using the least-taxing viewer available, and saving up for a replacement.

The card size fits the given space for a gpu in the computer's specs. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
