    Help,
    My old card just shows pixels, I think it's gone. I'm looking for a new PCI express card for my 530 with or preferably without upgrading my 350w power supply. I play some games but mostly Blu-Ray movies. I'm connected to a Dell 2408 WFP with DVI connection. There are so many cards out there it's hard to choose the right one. I'd like to stay under $150 but can go higher for the right card. If I do have to upgrade power it's another $80 for 450w.
    Thanks for your help,

    Any of the last several generations of video cards need a lot of power. With that said, even cards several generations old can handle 1080P resolutions. Your biggest limitations will be size, power, and price. Depending on your case style, you may not be able to use a normal full height card.

    Get a ATI HD 4350 video card which will do fine with bluray. I just bought a XFX ATI HD 4350 Minimum Power Supply Requirement: 300 Watts.
