Find out what kind (brand/model/specs) mother board you have, go to the manufacture of the mother board's web page and see if you can find out what kind of graphics cards will be compatible with your mother board. Whatever graphics card choices you have will depend on what your mother board will support. Everyone in our family MMO games and we just upgraded/rebuilt our computers to keep up with technology. This is what we used: ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Killer AM3+ ATX AMD Motherboard, Processor-AMD 4150 black edition 4.3 GHZ, and 8 Gig of 1600 RAM, Graphics card: EVGA - GeForce GTX 960 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card - Black. We rebuilt 4 computers using these products. The build was easy with no compatibility issues. We raid and PVP and game play runs very smoothly. Check your mother board, If your system is old it may be time for an update for your mother board and other major parts too. Hope this helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Couldn't find manual on Lenovo site so will require taking cover off to look. From specs, appears that is a Core i3 machine using on-board video. Yes, this will be a significant upgrade. Now, with the cover off, to see if will work... 1) The first two PCI-E slots (from center of computer - not bottom) should be free. You plug into one but physically requires 2 slots. (If occupied - which doubt, would be another video card and your monitor cable comes from it, but will be discarded). This is a long card so make sure has clearance to fit lengthwise. 2) Power Supply. Manufacturers are notorious for putting in barest minimum power supply so may need to upgrade. Card specs state 400w required and should be sufficient on an i3 machine but suggest 600w. Make sure the existing power supply has a spare power line for the card, either 6 or 8 pin, adapters are included. 3) Finally, disable the on-board video. Relatively easy and should have instructions from Lenovo manuals or a support ticket.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You might be able to run a 960 if your power supply has an eight pin plug. You could without a doubt at least go with a 750ti no problems on any "off the shelf" pc. Check out Tom's Hardware for minimum graphics cards requirements.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.best way to answer this is to open up the case and measure. these cards can get fairly big, averaging somewhere around 11 inches long by 2.5 tall by 5 deep in to the case. Additionally, you need to consider drive placement and airflow when installing these. I have a ventilation fan on both of my GPU's until i can afford to swap them over to water cooling.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.From specs on the Internet, it looks like the power supply on your PC is 280 watts. The card calls for a 400 watt PS but it works okay on my AMD FX-6300 CPU PC with a 350 watt PS. I think your 280 watt PS might be too small.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You'll need to upgrade your power supply to a quality 400w or greater preferably a 500w to 650w . Unless you've upgraded you have a 280w power supply.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I don't think it would support it as the power requirrment. Needs 400watts minimum, plus more depending on other hardware you have. Your model desktop has only 280 watt. Unless you're willing to replace power. Not worth it, unless you're a heavy gamer
