Im thinking of upgrading my PC...

here are the card's specs:

-World's first unified architecture supporting Microsoft® DirectX® 10
-Device Type: Graphics Adapter
-Enclosure Type: Plug In Card
-BUS Technology: PCI Express
-Graphics Processor: Nvidia Geforce 8800 GTS
-Memory Amount: 640 MB
-Memory Interface: 320-bit
-Memory Bandwidth (GB/sec): 64
-Fill Rate (billion pixels/sec.): 24
-Stream Processors: 96
-Shader Clock (MHz): 1200MHz
-Core Clock (MHz): 500MHz
-Memory Frequency (effective):1.6GHz
-SLI Ready: Yes
-Outputs: DVI+DVI+HDTV/S-Video

-A vacant slot below the PCI Express x16 slot. The graphics card physically occupies two slots



I dont know if battlefield 2 would support it...but it looks hella good.

Hello~!!!

WOW~!!! You have an AWESOME graphic card~~!!!!!

I'm not 100% sure, but if your motherboard can support your graphic card I'm pretty sure it will work.

P.S. Um... How much is the graphic card?? The price.

Re: Quick question

Personally i think it's a really good price to say how powerful it is.

On play.com theyre selling it for £234.99 with free delivery if you live in the UK.



and to your response...i dont know if my motherboard would support the card! XD how would i check my specs...i could send you them back and if it's alright with you could you let me know if thats checks up?

Thanks man =D

Re: Quick question

yes it will support bf2

u will need a A vacant slot below the PCI Express x16 slot.

i think you can check with a program called CPUZ.exe (just google it and run it. its a small utility) and when u run it, click on the main board tab and u should see eitherr AGP or PCI-express.

also...um...make sure u have enuff room in your case. the new 8800 cards are pretty big.

Re: Quick question

Um dannaninon...

Can you tell me how much your power supply is? That um... how many watts.
I found something in the internet and it says, "GeForce 8800 GTS - 400W or greater power supply with 12V current rating of 26A."

If you have a lot of room in your computer(requires 2 slots{which is really huge}), enough power, and a pci-express slot, I think your computer can support the card~!! YAY!

The computer that you are going to upgrade, did u buy it a long time ago? Like 4 years?
Then I recommend u to just buy one. But if it's like a few months old, maybe just changing the card should be enough. I think.

I am not an expert so I might be inaccurate.^^

Hope it helped.
