260 -> 460 changing a GPU - question

Hmmm....I'd probably ditch the soundcard and use the onboard if it was me, in fact that's exactly what I did not so long ago.

I guess if you were feeling a bit flush and wanted to keep a dedicated sound card you could buy something like the Asus Xonar D2X and slap it in the pci-e slot above your 480?

It wouldn't be so bad but you've come up against one of the only flaws of the FT-02, my mate had a similar problem with his blu-ray drive :(

Yeah my onboard sound isnt bad actually has improved so much over the years.

A single slot card will defo fit then, im assuming the 8800 GT uses 1 6 pin pice connector.
I will have to use a molex to pcie as my psu only has 2 pcie connectors
 
I am not keeping the 260 card, I'm selling it. As was said, I don't have room for the 260 on my mobo, even for Physx :( Wish I could though but I can't so no point in the 260 gathering dust, off to a new home methinks :p
 
Looking at the pics I don't believe he has a spare pci-e slot to put it in which is a shame.

Nice looking card didn't realise how short they were though, it won't do anything for your e-peen :D

it is about 1 inch shorter than the 260GTX so I've lost an inch :o



:D
