I have been asked to upgrade a friend's GPU in order for them to run The Sims 4 a bit smoother. They have an Acer XC-703.
I googled compatible upgrades (this was before I physically saw the computer) and read that the motherboard had a PCI Express slot so got this card: Sapphire 11190-09-20G AMD Radeon HD 6450 Silent 2GB DDR3 Graphics Card (HDMI, DVI-D, VGA, PCI Express 2.0, 64-Bit, Low Profile Bracket, Dolby TrueHD, DTSHD Master Audio Support).
However, this card did not fit. The motherboard looked like a mini ITX board and I had no idea what to do. Even YouTube videos seemed completely different to the actual PC in question.
Can anyone recommend a card for about £40 that will do this task and supply a tutorial for installing it? I'm guessing I'll have to sell this card on the Member's Market or something.
Thanks.
