need a new grapfics card

Xxtrikee · 12-21-2006, 03:15 PM

ok so im upgrading my computer with a intel
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz 4M sharing L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor, and ASUS P5N-E SLI Socket T (LGA 775) NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard, i posted this in the motherboard forum to see its compatibility and i was told that my current graphics card a radeon 9800pro will not be compatible with the new hardware because it is AGP formatted and this motherboard does not have AGP slots but instead PCI-E, so my question is what would be a good graphics card to put in here i do like to play high end computer games so it must perform up to those standards.

Well since you have an SLI mobo a 7900gtx would do nicely and you can always get another one and put it in SLI as funds permit....what is your budget ? The best vidcard out there right now is the 8800gtx @ $600 or the next best 8800gts @ $460
I would stick to well known cards from Asus, XfX, BFG and EVGA, newegg should have a wide selection in your price range.
