looking to upgrade...

Postby GreaseMonkey » Wed Jan 02, 2008 10:09 am

im thinking its about time i should upgrade my graphics card, not saying its a bad one infacts its great!, but i just want something more. so anyway im looking to get an 8800 ultra only one though i cant realy afford to go SLi yet! just wondering is my system going to be able to cope? i have a 550 watt power supply and the mobo is a nforce 560SLi ready...also its custom built if it makes any diference.

thanks.

So long as your PSU has a PCIex power connector you're ready to go  :)

hold on to that thaught chum, if you have the money to purchase an 8800Ultra you may want to wait until the end of january then the next generation of cards are being released.

however you will need atleast a 550W powers supply possibly more, and as Charlottes Dad said a 6pin PCI-E power connector.
