Advice - Desperately need to Upgrade my Video Card

[EniMysterEgma]

I have a 6800GS. Enough said.

What is the best PCI-E x16 video card I can get for $110 or less.

Thanks! ^^

You can score an 8800GS for that amount AR.

Thanks. Looks like a nice card.

It's a pci-e 2.0 card. Will it still work with my BioStar mobo that I bought a couple years ago? My current card is pci-e 1.0.

I'm no expert, but I believe it should work just fine.

Yup, it doesn't require nearly enough bandwidth to saturate a PCI-E 2 slot.

That's one of the nice things about the 2.0 PCIe spec: backwards compatibility.:thumbsup:

:thumbsup: to 8800gs on newegg.

Sweet! Thanks for the help. I ordered it from newegg.

After reading this review, I had no doubts. It rates it as the quietest and most cost effective card they've reviewed. And that's at $170, not $109 AR. Not to mention the OC potential.

Thanks again.
