Rather than looking to upgrade to a newer graphics card I'd be more wondering what is it about the 5700G that is not working for you? For your needs that 5700G should be fine. Perhaps using the correct AMD video drivers? A better monitor/monitor connection? I'm wondering if the settings you are using are correct/best choice?

The settings all seem to be the best I can come up with. Also, I have installed the latest drivers.

What seems to be the issue with the "Fonts" you mentioned in the OP? If the fonts are fuzzy or not as clear as you like this might be caused by an improper graphics setting. Incorrect Refresh Rate settings for the monitor? Try changing the Text sizing. Or it's always possible the monitor itself is the issue, which changing the video card won't fix.

I'll probably hold off on the 5700 for now since I'm unsure about it fitting my case.

Amazon.com

" The Nine Hundred can hold a maximum video card size of 16" (406mm) and is compatible with Mini-ITX, MicroATX, Standard ATX motherboards."

It doesn't say whether you'd need to remove a drive cage to put in a 16" long graphics card, but you shouldn't need to worry about that with a card that is 10" or shorter.

That's an old case. I may have scrapped one, years ago.

But hold off. I'm pretty sure you'd be wasting your money.

Spending that amount (or less) on a 27" 2560 X 1440 monitor might be a better investment.

Hi, what do you think about this for the price? Amazon.com

I figured going from 24 inch to 32 might help my crappy eyes some?

I'm not very up-to-date.

For comparison, https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?N=10170... 601435664 601468801&Order=1&ComboBundle=true

VA panels can be brighter than IPS, and may have higher contrast. A lot of LCD TVs were VA. IPS tends to have wider viewing angles.

I'm impressed at what you can get for $200.

Been thinking about this one any thoughts? Thanks! Amazon.com

Nice monitor. I have had really good luck with Acer monitors. Most of my monitors have been Acer and they have lasted for years. I have never had one need to be serviced or replaced as of yet, and one of them is seven years old.

And it has Freesync, which will pair nicely with your AMD graphics (5700G).

For this one, you may find the 32 inch a little grainy at QHD resolution. I haven't tried it out so I am not quite sure. Best thing to do if you are looking at that size of monitor is go into a computer shop and have them show you a QHD monitor that you can sit in front of and look at the text and graphics.

The Acer says 240 volts? I wonder if the one I received would be 110v for my area or, maybe selectable?

If it is sold in North America it will be 110 to 120 Volts.

Ok, I'm in Missouri so I guess it will be 110v

I think I will purchase the Acer and get a graphics card later, to go with it Thanks!

Am I blind? I don't see a link to "The Acer".

Looking at other models, the spec is 110-240VAC. Apparently it auto-detects. (That's not universal, but not unusual.)

I've been called out for "110V" in the past. The current US standard is 120V.

It's disguised as a plain Amazon link: Amazon.com

I visited that link before my post. It's an Asus monitor, not Acer. Separate Taiwanese companies.

Ok. I admit that I saw that. Post 37 quoted the wrong link.

Out of curiosity, why did you choose that monitor, among the various 32" class 1440p monitors on the market? I don't intend that as a criticism. Maybe you have criteria that could inform others.
