Big Mark Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 My monitor was on it's last legs so just ordered myself to this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00IOUBOB2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1YY5I3WRCQSAO Only problem is that my old graphics card is so old that it won't output at 4k I'm not into gaming at all and don't watch many videos on my pc so I don't need a super dooper graphics card, but do need a new one. PC is mainly used for internet, and work documents. Anyone recomend me a cheap replacement that will complimnet the new monitor, or anyone got a suitable one for sale?

Wez Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Those monitors only have HDMI or DP inputs and at 4K are only 30Hz, one of the reasons they are so cheap for a 4K screen. Is this cheap enough? http://www.ebuyer.com/620543-sapphire-r7-250x-1gb-gddr5-dvi-hdmi-displayport-pci-e-graphics-card-11229-00-20g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 You will obviously need a PCI-e slot and suitable PSU, more info on the spec of the PC would help narrow down a card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's might do the job You will obviously need a PCI-e slot and suitable PSU, more info on the spec of the PC would help narrow down a card PC has got a pci-e slot so that's not an issue. Can't remember pc spec and not at home right now but I'm slowly upgrading it as and when required so if needed i'll get a new psu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mark Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Sorted then. Thanks mate. Card ordered. Does it matter what connection I use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Not really, DP or HDMI should be fine, those monitors come with a DP cable so may as well use that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
