Topic: Graphics card/upgrade question for mining (Read 588 times)
Yes. The power supply should be fine for one card. It says it's 500W.
Hi there,
I'm totally new to the whole Bitcoin thing. Like most, I heard about it, but never gave it another thought, until a week ago or so. I have a real crappy graphics card and want to upgrade to possibly mine Litecoin and continue to learn about Bitcoin in the process and how it works.
I have a GeForce GT 420 graphics card (nvidia) running on a Gateway DX4850-45c http://support.gateway.com/s/desktop/2011/gateway/dx4850/DX4850sp5.shtml
I know the power supply needs to be upgraded, but beyond that, what else do I need to consider?
Can I run something like this: http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/graphics/R9/Pages/amd-radeon-hd-r9-series.aspx
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
