    Video Card Recommendation

    Thanks SpeedyVV! I went there and picked one of the XFX 6850s up tonight. It did cost $159, but there was an additional $30 mail in rebate for it, so it ended up costing me $129. I'm definitely satisfied with the price. Going to install it as soon as time permits! Thanks once again to...

    Thanks for the information. Yes, I understand that under load these cards will get hot. That's to be expected I suppose.

    Video Card Recommendation

    My video card is definitely not that young. Sorry about that! I called my wife to check....she says it's actually a 8800GTS. I'm embarrassed....sorry! That probably makes my original post make more sense, right? So, with my more accurate information, any suggestions? Bobby

    Video Card Recommendation

    Hi Folks, I was wondering if I could get some recommendations for a new video card. Been out of the loop for the last little bit when it comes to keeping up with hardware as I've got two young sons to deal with now. I'll be putting this into an older system. eVGA 680i motherboard with a...
