    I just purchased this Dell XPS below. Do I need to switch out the graphics card? If so, what card would be sufficient AND recommended?

    3rd Gen Intel Core i5-3450 processor 3.10 GHz with Turbo Boost 2.0 up to 3.50 GHz
    8GB DDR3 SDRAM AT 1600MHZ-2x4GB
    AMD Radeon HD 7570 1GB GDDR5
    2TB SATA 6Gb/s,7200RPM
    Viewsonic VX2453MH-LED 24" Widescreen LCD Full HD 1920x1080 resolution
    Integrated 7.1 with WAVE MAXXAudio 4
    460 Watt PS (90%)
    Intel H77 motherboard PCI Express 2.0

    Thanks to all in advance.

    The 7000 series cards aren't listed as a supported or unsupported but most 6000/5000/4000 series cards are supported so you should be fine. The 7000 series are nice cards and you look like you have a nice setup. There's a PC Build thread going here if you want to check it out.

    Also you can check out the video card support on BattleNET here:

    Thanks for those supported card links, although I'm thinking more along the lines of recommendations relative to my components above with respect to DiabloIII.

    Maybe the GTX 550 Ti or GTX 560 Ti? The latter may need more than a 460 watt power supply, no?

    I have the GTX 560 ti - highly recommended. It looks like you might think about upgrading your PSU although I'm not familiar with the MOBO you are using.

    I would have to upgrade my PSU to make a GTX 560 Ti work at it's max, no?

    And what would you recommend to play the game with the highest details setting? I'm guessing it would require upgrading the PS? Originally, I was thinking I would be able to find something that works with a 460W PS and does not require lowering the detail levels. It sounds like I was wrong.
