Title: Advice on Graphics card for CRT Emudriver
Post by: CanadianRyGuy on July 29, 2015, 02:43:53 pm

Hello All,

Thinking about using CRT Emudriver and an old Dell Studio Slim 540S and would need a compatible video card for it.

Saw this one on Ebay for $10...would it work?

ATI Radeon HD 4870 1GB RV770XT GDDR5 DVI-VO-DVI DELL Video Graphics Card

radeons 4850 are full size and very power consuming cards . u  will need a decent powersupply with an extra gc power plug .  unless u dont want to emulate anything beyond cave sh3 games a radeon x600 , 4350 or 4550 will be adequate .

Radeon 4350 is ok even for cave sh3, processor only matters. I have G3258 overclocked to 4,2 and on  7x64 is sufficient though on Xp x32 is still not enough.

And yes, while the HD4870 would work, the heat it will generate into the system won't be good for it.
