Kusimeka · Oct 27, 2007

Hi there guys, my comp is around 2 years old, when i bought it was high-end, it has a x850xt with 1gb memory (soon 2gb) i'm not sure if this will run on my computer, i'm only going to be using it for 3 months, when i buy a completey new high-end computer, so this is my motherboard:

nvidia nforce 4 ultra 939 pin motherboard with dual channel DDR

320 watt psu.

Would this ok? thanks!!

Do you have a PCI Express X16 slot?

Run CPU-Z, then go to the "Mainboard" tab. It should say PCI-Express or AGP (probably the former, which is better)under the headine, "Graphics Interface." Make sure you get a card that has the type of slot which you have.

Thats good, A 2600XT sounds good then. See if you can get a GDDR4 version and make sure you download the latest drivers when you do get it. They make a HUGE difference to performance.

ok thanks!

Just one question, what brand is your Power Supply? There should also be a sticker on the side of it. Can you tell me how many amps it says on the 12volt rail? Also does it seem to have more than one +12v rail?

Kusimeka · Oct 27, 2007

hi sorry, what are the 12v rails? i'm really new to this, heh.

theonetruewill · Oct 27, 2007

On the side of your power supply it should have a table. Look below +12v and state what it says under Max and Continuity in amps.

don't know why but my brand new 2600xt ate itself the day i bought it.
i think it was because of a graphics bios update I did.
the system can't POST with the card in (but will with a substitute card).
when the card was working (with old drivers and stuff) it still PWNED!
