Hello i am new to this.. i have a dell 720h2c and i want to upgrade my old gtx8800 to a new gtx 570 or 580 or 590
i know my mobo is not a pcie 2.0 but it does have a x16 slot.. i just wanted to know before spending the $500 or so to upgrade, if there is going to be any performance limitations since i have a older mobo, i basicaly just want the card to play
bf3, please help i need to make a desition fast since i live in Mexico and its hard to get people to bring the card down...
money isnt really a problem i dont want to spend the extra money for a 590 if my mobo cant take FULL advantage from it.. so some optinions would be great!! just want to make sure i wont bottleneck my system. here are my specs..
Cpu: intel core 2 extreme Qx6700 (quad) @ 2.66ghz (( i can OC but i dont but probably will for bf3))
1 kw power suply
MoBO: nForce 680i sli spp ( bios a06 04/01/2008 )
8 gb ddr2 ram ( i think its maxed at 800mhz)
2 nvidia 8800gtx ( one is not working..)
windows 7 64bit
Thanks
