Ya, it really blows out the benchmarks on fill rate due to big-time parallelism.<br><br>Of course, nVidia says you'll need a <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>480</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->-watt power supply to run it.<br><br>I'm gonna make a case mod called "Volcano" that will shove all the heat out the top... <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

WAY TO BIG...is that an AGP slot?<br><br>ICE what kind of card did you say to look for?<br><br>Thanks!!<br><br>ITIMAN <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://members.cox.net/ccraig3/itiman6.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>

nah it will be pci express<br>next gen of all vid cards, is supposed to make that step, since they've been stretching the viablility of agp 2.0(8x)<br>see, agp, was only ahold over, until they had a more capable protocol, hence pci express, and pci-x, unfortunately it seems the pci-x spec has fallen off the map(or maybe for the better, since that would've been AMD's spec, and would have cause more confusion than just changing over the entire spec)<br>also there will be a new motherboard/case spec altogether going through within the next year, called BTX, supposedly will be better set up to enable easier cooling solutions, one day I will find a link on it.<br> <p></p><i></i>

Iti....Right now the best bang for the buck is an ATI 9600 PRO or 9600XT. I have seen the 9600XT's for around $160. Those are the ones I would go with if I was buying right now. <p><table border=0><tr><td><embed align=left src=http://www.thzclan.com/avatars/ezice.swf menu=false quality=high bgcolor=#000000 width=217 height=166 type=application/x-shockwave-flash pluginspage=http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/dow ... <td><table border=0 style='Filter: Shadow(Color=#BB1403,Direction=255)'><tr><td><span class='usertitle'>XMEN Iceman [DTM]<br>Founder and Leader of the Base Tribes XMEN Clan<br>Proud member of the Dragon Talon Mercenaries teamplayers Guild<br>Citizen of New Fenecia<br><br>You weren't much of a challenge - T2 bot after killing Iceman<br><br>- click on avatar for links - no, not sausage links!</span></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></p><i></i>
