bfg 9800 gtx +

[widnesjohn]

is it time to upgrade as new graphics cards are getting cheaper or should i buy another 1

before we can tell you what to do we need to know more information about your PC and its purpose

Is your MB SLi compatable?

What PSU do you have?

What resolution do you game at (assuming you do play games)?

What CPU do you have and what speed does it run at?

Also 9800GTX cards have been EOL'd so you would be looking a a GTS 250 now instead, which would work in SLI with your card if you match the memory size.

However as above, we need to know your system specs

q6600, buying a asus p5q deluxe , 2 gb ram , corsair 650 w and i use it for a lot of gaming and 3ds max work and photoshop

 

[jak731]

DO NOT get another 9800GTX+ or GTS250 with that MB, its not officially SLi compatable

 

[Happy]

As above, they won't work So sell your 9800GTX+ and get a better single card

Also 9800GTX cards have been EOL'd

No they havn't, they got renamed to GTS 250's

 

[widnesjohn]

yeah ill probily sell it then paid like 150 quid for it about 10 months but a lot of good graphics cards seem realy cheap now i may even pick up a second hand card from my local computer exchange

 

[AMG]

yes, and don't even think about getting a 780i board hell I won't even state why , just get a better single card like a HD4870/GTX260 or better

Get this instead, only £15 more and it'll give you more of a boost over your 9800GTX+
