It is (i think i may be wrong) but maybe you'll have to change ur PowerSupply

 

[Gannu]

Yes.. 10 chars....

But as Aman suggested u shud've a good PSU like the Corsair VX450.

 

[avis_gan]

But what my doubt was

Whether the PCI-E x16 & PCI Express 2.0 x16 slots are one and the same or not

 

[Jasku]

they are not the same pci2.0 has superior bandwidth, but the card will be backward compatible to ur pci-e x16, you can use it..no issues.

But what my doubt was

Whether the PCI-E x16 & PCI Express 2.0 x16 slots are one and the same or not

 

[Rivunited]

^yep all the pci2.0 cards are backward compatible.. so no worries

 

[d@rK nEmEsIs]

yeah no issues u can use the card its like playing ps2 games on ps3 backward compatiblity

 

[avis_gan]

Does anyone know how this card is?, it is bit cheaper and comes in my budget

Newegg.com - EVGA 640-P2-N829-AR GeForce 8800GTS SSC 640MB 320-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

 

[memnom]

^^ a big no to that one.

8800gt 512mb beats it by a fair margin. so go with that. less heat and less power consumption

 

[gamepagol]

^ +1 for 8800GT 512 ... very good VFM over G80 GTS... go for it u will not be disappointed

buy Newegg.com - EVGA 512-P3-N871-AR GeForce 9800 GTX(G92) 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

Buy a 9600 Gt palit best performance than xfx.

My friend has got one.
It looks somewhat oldy but the performnance is mindblowing

Palit 8950 and xfx 13000
See the difference the same chipset.

9800 GX 2 are not for us.

This is the best card for gamers like us.

great value fro money

Newegg.com - XFX PVT88PUHF4 GeForce 8800GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

and better performance than 8800gts640

else get this

Newegg.com - ECS N8800GTS-512MX GeForce 8800GTS (G92) 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

cost less than 200 and perform in the level of 8800 ultra

 

[god's_gift]

and if you are going beyond $300 then i suggest 2x3850/3870 crossfire ans your board does not support sli confi

you can even get 3850 512mb each at lowy 110usd level these days or 3870s at usd140 level

but i suggest you to get single card set up as the 2nd pci-e slot is 4x which will be a problem in multicard setup

+1 for 8800GT Best VFM Card :hap2:
