I just downloaded the new Tex Murphy Phoenix Rising demo and found out I can't play it. My GeForce has 6GB VRAM and I need at least 8. Is this the new normal for gaming? And what's a good brand? And it's been forever since I've messed with the internal workings of a computer. Is it just plug and play? Take out the old video card and put in a new one?

Draclvr should be able to give you some good advice on this topic, so let's wait for her to weigh in.

One thing that I will say is that sometimes putting a better video card in your computer also means that you need to upgrade your power supply as well, but this is not always the case.

My power supply is 650watt CORSAIR CX-M CX650M 650 W ATX12V / EPS12V 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Semi-Modular Power Supply.
I held on to all the communications with eCollegePC. They're great.

I just heard that a bigger video card might mean the screen flickering. True?

Just got this from eCollegePC: The best 8GB card for the money is the RTX 5060 Ti.  This one is $330 after the discount code. https://www.newegg.com/msi-rtx-5060...phics-card-double-fans/p/N82E16814137965
