DukeIronHand Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) Inspired by RAF_Louvert I have decided to replace my Nvidia 7950GT with a new card in anticipation of P4. In fact the very card he choose (GTX 460) looks good and fits my price range at this time however I am not a video card whiz. The Nvidia site list the bus for this card as PCI-E 2.0 x 16. System info list my computer bus as PCI Express x 16. Am I compatible? I think I am but wish to double check! Edited February 16, 2012 by DukeIronHand Quote
RAF_Louvert Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 . Yes Duke, you should be compatible. However, the bottleneck will be the card port architecture. Think of it as trying to cram eight lanes of busy, freeway traffic onto a two-lane road. Quote
DukeIronHand Posted February 16, 2012 Author Posted February 16, 2012 Excellent! Thank you and now off to shop. While I am speaking to my northern brother hows your winter been going? Mildest here that I think I have ever seen - not that I am complaining. I am not an ice fisher or into snowmobiles! Quote
RAF_Louvert Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 . Duke, in the 50+ years I have lived in Minnesota I've never seen a non-Winter like this one. 40 degrees and sunny all day today, and no snow on the ground at all. . Quote
