Hello
My 9800GT card just died!
The newest game that I was running on my 9800gt was Battlefield 2 Bad Company 2.
I'm using an old Geforce 7600 GT at the moment.
I'm looking as a replacement, another 9800gt, GTX 460 or the GTS 450.
I think that I read somewhere that the GTX card had a "bottleneck issue" with older systems.
If so should I go with the GTS 450 or just perhaps another 9800GT? Suggestions anyone?
The systems I have now is:
AMD 64 x2 Dual Core Processor 6000+
GA-M55SLI-S4 Motherboard
4GB DDR2 800hz
Thank you all for all your help!

As I'm running a pair 0f 8800GT's with an E8400 I reckon you should be just about OK with a GTX460 so long as you are at a resolution of 16 x 10 or higher.

Upgrade to a Athlon x2 Phenom II x4????
I'm not sure if my system will take it.
Maybe I'm wrong?
Here a link for the Motherboard.
Sorry here is the correct link: (my Bad)

As there is no chance of a BIOS update unless you know of someone running a Phenom x4 on that board I wouldn't advise chancing it. That's not the mobo in your OP though.

I have checked more that one CPU support list for the GA-M55SLI-S4 and in each case the CPU you suggested was NA or not supported. From what i have read though I'm leaning towards the GTS 450 if anything just because its quilter and takes less juice in most cases?
As for the HD6850..... I checked out the prices at Newegg and that's more than I want to spend. I need to keep it at 100 - 130.

The 460 is actually not an option due to the price and like I originally mentioned I have read somewhere that there might be issues with the 460 and an older system like mine. What I listed above in the last letter where 3 GTS 450 and one 9800GT. From what I have read/remember correctly...
GT 240< 9800GT < GTS 450 < GTX 460
With the HD 5750 and HD 5770 falling on either side of the GTS 450.
But like I said with the GTS 450 you have Less power, Directx 11, and a quieter fan in most cases. With the 9800GT, HD 5750 and HD 5770 can be noisy depending on the manufacture. Also, I have been an avid user of NVIDIA for yours and I really don't like the idea of moving back to ATI even though I used them years ago.
