I really wanna play the new tabatha rising and Quake wars, And hopefully warhammer online when it comes up. My 6800 GT won't cut it. Please recommend a card for 250-400 bucks. (with taxes). I use

www.canadacomputers,ca
TigerDirect.ca - Computer Parts, PC Components, Computers & Electronics

For alot of my shopping. If you can recommend one from there, that would be super

I really like the 8800 GT but it says Interface Type: PCI Express 2.0

Does my motherboard support that interface type? what do they mean by pci express 2.0.

[phucng_10]

By 2.0, they mean the bandwidth is doubled the amount.

Anyways, the 8800GT would reverse compatible with the PCI-e 16x.

OK ballin.

You think the 8800 GT is the best bang for buck?

[saltynay]

The 8800gt has just under the same performance of a 8800gtx but half the price...... Not sure about the US but you can only preorder in England atm.

Well it's about 299.99 here in Canada. Plus it comes with a free pc game. THat's the 512MB version

Id def get the 512 version over 256, and the GT is just... man If I had the money I'd be getting one- and I don't even have a PCI express x16 slot!

Update:

Will this video card be ok with my current power supply. It has a 6 pin pci-E connector and is 535W.
