Braixen Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Well, two things: 1. Will newer PCI Express x16 cards (the 2.0/3.0 ones) work with the 1.0 slots? I heard they do. 2. If they do, what's the best low-end card for said slot and Snow Leopard? I have a 300W PC that needs upgrading. So far the hard drive and the RAM has been upgraded. I'm leaving the processor as it is at the moment, but the graphics I really want to upgrade. I have really horrible worse-than-low-end integrated graphics. They work with Snow Leopard really well, but it slows down the computer a lot, even in Windows. One example is on ROBLOX, where the vehicles and skateboards are very slow. Sorry if I'm acting like such an idiot, though. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/283032-best-graphics-card-for-snow-leopard/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
