which should i chose (and will i be able to play all the newset games and on what settings low medium or high) : processor AMD Athlon II X3 435 Memory 2 X 2GB DDRII 800 graphics card Radeon HD 4650 1GB GDDR3 128 bit hard drive 500GB or processor Intel Dual Core E6700, 3.2 GHz Memory 4 GB DDR2 800 MHz graphics card GF 9800GT 1GB GDDR5 hard drive 500 GB and please no suggestions
LOL your right Syphrus, Nvidia has been being sneaky with their branding. They did the same thing with the 8800GT to the 9800GT- it was just a die shrink.
my 9800gtx+oc dosent have the full cover and only has 1 6 pin connector i thought i was being conned but bfg has registered it so im not sure has any 1 else had this???
No, I got only one PCI-e 6 pin connector. I thought it was a bit wierd at first because I have seen two six pin connectors on all the 9800 GTX/GTX+ cards. I looked at the pictures on tigerdirect, I mean compusa, and it only showed one 6 pin connector. My card works awesome, and I am so glad I got it.
500 watts or not, make sure you have a combined/total of 26amps on the 12V rail.
For those that don't understand, your power supply needs to produce a particular amount of amps. Regardless, most 500 watt psu's would be good enough, however it's possible it's not giving enough power.
A power supply can have more than one 12 volt rail, if so just add up the total amount of max amps, it will say this on the sticker on the power supply. If you don't have at least 26amps, you're gonna have problems
NIce i really needed that.......But Hay my PS is 300watt's i know thats 2 low but i still turn it on and it worked but for about 1 hr and this card was not even play SR2 i was like DAMN but now i see
ok im confused, someone help me, when i first bought this Gcard from BFG, it was a diff fan, it was the rounded one, i put it in my case, snug fit, but was faulty, and when they shipped me the replaced one, it was the fan we see in this vid, but its not fitting, is there an actual size diff between the two?
I have Bought this Video Card, I also got a 500 Watt Power supply, I instaslled it and everything, all of it works i play my games really well, but while im playing My game crrashes and my screen goes like boxed and purple and I have to restart my computer every time it hapesn please help!
I have that exact same problem and i have no idea what it could be, i think it could be a faulty card, maybe even the monitor, and i tried installing the latest drivers for it and still i get tht purple shit.
i have galaxy geforce 9800 gtx+,intel dua 2.56 ghz,,4gb of ram,,,,and 700watt power supply...emm,, does it 700 watt power supply is to much for tis graphic card???im noob here,,and my cpu crash becoz my bios overclocking to much,,and i didnt oc ma bios.....y that happen??sory for my bad english...
I have a normal 9800gtx+ 512MB right now. Would I be able to buy one of these and do SLi with the two cards? Im asking because this one is the BFG version and im not sure if you use one BFG then put, say a xfx or normal version in with it to do SLi.
I got a decrepit old 5 year old Dell with an old GForce6 card and a twin core P4(Yes I beg you all to forgive my sins for owning a Dell), but I plan to save up $2000 to get a custom built PC because Next year there are a few games I really want to get but want to run crisp as possible. Anyone has any suggestions about how I should go? I tend to favor FPS games and RTS games, so for me frame rate is important, but since I am a sniper I also enjoy a long draw distance.
woo im getting this card! a quick question, i have a good quality 750W PSU, if I wanted to by another in the future and run them in SLI, what would I need to upgrade my PSU to?
best thing NV has created in awhile! i'll probably keep mine till it deteriorates in a 100 yrs.. runs anything you can throw at it, and Blu-Rays look outstanding!
These days very little is different compared to the two major graphics cards you can get, except ATi and Nvidia work better on different motherboards and CPU chip sets. ATi is better with AMD chip sets, always have been. And Nvida are better with particular classes of motherboard.
Before you go acting like some console fan zealot moron who takes sides like a 10 year old on a buss on the way to primary school, know your facts.
I would laugh if you drop it.
