    Best video card for WoW, Black Ops, and BFBC2

    Agreed samuelmorris $1000 is way over the top lol but you know what i mean, BC2 wants video cards in sli more then anything seeing as, as far as how much cpu power it needs it can't even max out a single cpu core on my system in single player mode. Of cores online with 16 players cpu use i have...

    How much will a PCI card restrict performance?

    +1 Agreed Way to expensive & Micro rant :D PCI-X or should i say 64bit pci like 16bit ISA are backward compatible. Meaning you can put a 8bit IAS card in a 16bit slot, or a 32bit PCI card in a 64bit pci slot. though in this case sometimes it doesn't work out because some PCI\PCI-X slots only...

    Best video card for WoW, Black Ops, and BFBC2

    WoW & Black Ops will run grate off any mid-range video card in the $150 dollar range. BC2 will run like shit unless you spend $1000 on video cards and run at sub par 60 fps if you don't & get ready for per-alpha bugs from hell.

    +1 Agreed The pci bus isn't a problem if were not talking about video games. and from what i can understand were talking about so its all good, the video card being on a pci bus isn't going to change anything. Ps pci version 2.0+ = 266 MB\s of bandwith
