Hi.
I wanted to know what video card do you recommend. I currently have Intel HD graphics 4600. The video boards Geforce Gt 610 2gb Ddr3 Nvidia Hdmi Dvi Directx 11 and EVGA Geforce Gt710 2gb Ddr3 Hdmi Vga Dvi are better than I have already? Or if I can suggest some other video card very grateful. My motherboard is the H81H3-M4 (V1.0A) ECS.
Thank you very much in advance.
Greetings.
 
I also found these other video cards: Ati Radeon Amd R5 230 2gb Ddr3 Hdmi Dvi Pci-e Hd Gamer & Ati Radeon 5450 2 Gb Ddr3 Diamond System
 
You need to state your budget and the intended purpose of this computer. Also note when it comes to bang for your money, ensuring you have plenty of RAM first typically provides more bang. Plus, because graphics cards are often the most power hungry devices in our systems, a new graphics card often requires a new power supply too. So before buying a new card, you MUST ensure your power supply can support it. If not, then you must buy a new supply too.

If you already have lots of RAM (I recommend 8GB), then check out Tom's Hardware, Best Graphics Cards for the Money.

Also note that cross or shotgun posting your questions across multiple sites is frowned upon as poor forum etiquette because it can tie up limited resources and result in conflicting advice and confusing results. It also often ends up with abandoned threads when the poster fails to revisit EVERY site the question was asked to post the resolution. So make you do that please.

All the suggested cards are in the same ballpark as the HD 4600, it would be wasting cash on less/=/marginal performance difference to buy any of them.

A GT730 GDDR5 might offer an upgrade you'd notice but a recent ~65Watt TDP card like the GT740 GDDR5 would be a better upgrade. A single 6-pin PSU connector might be needed for one of these - check the maker's site and, as Bill said, your own PSU, before buying. If you intend to play games, your monitor's resolution is very important - the higher the pixel count, the better the graphics card will need to be.

Don't fall into the trap of thinking that more is better when it comes to graphics RAM - 1GB of GDDR5 is way faster than 2GB of DDR3 :)
