    Recommend a videocard please.

    Do you guys think the GTX 460 will be able to run BF3? http://www.evga.com/products/moreInfo.asp?pn=01G-P3-1372-AR&family=GeForce 400 Series Family&sw=

    Recommend a videocard please.

    Well, my 8800GT just died and I need a new videocard. Can someone recommend me something in the price range of $100-$250. I need a good bang for a buck..and I need a card that can play BF3. Any help would be appreciated!

    Videocard issue.

    I used to overclock..but stopped months ago for fear that I would damage something. Also, I'm using the latest drivers.

    Videocard issue.

    I tried blowing it out when the problem started. Still had the same problem, and it has the Nvidia reference cooler. Also the 12Vs on my Antec are 12V1@18A, +12V2@18A, +12V3@18A

    Videocard issue.

    Temps reach about 75 to 80c. One day, my sister was gaming on a hot day and my card hit 90c. BUt that was a one time incident, I installed new fans in my case after that. Also, my PSU is about 2 and half years old. I got it the same day as my 8800GT.

    Videocard issue.

    About two days ago, I experienced random freezing with my 8800GT. Within 5 minutes of gaming on Half Life and Back Ops, I'd get a total computer lock, resulting in me having to restart my entire computer. I ran ATI tool, and the same problem occurred with the artifact test. So, I decided to pull...

    The size of the Geforce GTX 260

    I'm guessing he should be fine. He has a 500w Antec PSU.

    The size of the Geforce GTX 260

    So, it's pretty safe to say, he can purchase that card?

    The size of the Geforce GTX 260

    Hi guys, I'm trying to help out a friend of mine decide on which videocard to get. Unfortunately, he has an HP computer, which oddly enough, is very good. But I don't know if his mobo will handle the size of the GTX 260. I think a GTX 260 could fit, but I'm concerned about the 1394...

    What kind of PSU would I need with that videocard? currently I have a Antec 550W PSU. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371001 < --- Would that be sufficient enough for a 9800GX2 or the 4870X2

    What videocard should I get?

    I'm a gamer. So far, I get pretty good framerates, on all high in WiC and CoD 4. Maybe I should just stick with my 8800GT for a year longer?

    Is this a good power supply?

    I recently ordered the Antec NeoPower 550 ATX12V 550W PSU. I heard the first editions had problems with ASUS Mobos but the problem was fixed. So, is this a good PSU? I believe the Antec brand name is very reliable.
