Graphics Card Upgrade Question. Please Help....?
Which is better XFX AMD Radeon HD 7750 1GB GDDR5 vs. EVGA GeForce GT 640 4096MB GDDR3 ?
I don’t do a lot of gaming, but I watch a lot of videos and usually have multiply of windows open (browser, excel, word document, and etc). Currently I have hp pavilion elite desktop with i7 core processor with window 7 (I might upgrade to windows 8). I am looking for good performance and high resolution is important because I like to see things crisp and clearer. Additional I looking from something to last longer in the future.
I currently I have ATI Radeon 4850 1GB GDDR3.
Please advice. I would greatly appreciate it
Update:Both Graphic Cards will work with my hp desktop elite system without any problem. I not sure which to get and would be better?

They are pretty much in a similar benchmark, so you don't have to worry about which one to get.
Only thing is that you may require a new power supply unit as the graphics are a bit powerful than the you currently own.
Just increase your power supply unit by 150W to 200W and you should be good.
Because normally the company that makes desktop only makes it for the current machines, so upgrade = more power
