Save a bundle on your graphics card upgrade by doing it yourself. It’s not difficult, and our handy guide does away with all the guesswork.

There may be two PCIe x16 slots on your motherboard. If that’s the case, use the one that held your old graphics card. If you’re still not sure which one to use, consult the motherboard’s documentation, which should clearly identify one of them as the primary slot. Find the PCI Express power-supply lead (some current cards actually require two of these) and plug it into the socket on the card.

Next, line up the card’s gold contacts with the slot on the motherboard and insert the card. Some current graphics cards are surprisingly big, so be careful not to knock any other components or cables loose inside the case.

Press down on the top edge of the card until it’s firmly seated in the PCI Express x16 slot. The metal bracket on the back of the card should be tight against the case. Finally, using a screw (or two), secure the card in place. Replace the side cover and plug the monitor into the graphics card.

Boot up the operating system. Cancel any Windows attempts to find new hardware drivers, and open your favorite Web browser. Head to www.nvidia.com or www.ati.com to download the latest drivers for your graphics chip. The drivers will be in an executable program; run the program after it’s fully downloaded.

In Vista, User Account Control will again break in to be sure you want to install the drivers. Simply follow the prompts and the installation routine will take care of everything. You’ll need to reboot when the driver installation is finished. After the computer boots back up, the graphics card installation is complete.
