Hey guys,

As always, I have VERY little hardware expererience. SO I was wondering if you you guys could help me with deciding whether or not to get the GTX 280. All I really need squared away is if the mother board wil be compatibile with the card. Here are my motherboards stats:

[SLI] Asus P5N-E SLI nForce® 650i SLI Chipset w/6-channel CODEC, Gb LAN, S-ATA Raid, USB 2.0, IEEE-1394 Dual PCI-E MB

Thanks,
-Sunflash

Nevermind, I got the graphics card and installed it and it wouldn't work, but I traced it back to a power supply issue. it's interesting because MANY people told me that a 600W power supply would work dandy, but I ended up having to upgrade to a 1000W power supply in order to get the graphics card to operate, and I'm not really running anything to special.

But other than that, the card works WONDERS. It's time to crack out a copy of Crysis!

600 Watts should be plenty, perhaps you had a cheap power supply that didn't push out many amps.


It's not just for BYOND you know!
