Antec 650w

Ok cool. That is indeed perfect for most single card configs.

Zulthus · 2011-09-22, 10:15 PM

Oh great... I just realized the card has the bulk of it facing downward... now it won't fit. My motherboard RAM slots are in the way. Perfect. I'm pretty sure I can't mod that, can I?

Oh yeah, my HDD cage is most likely in the way too considering the card is a foot long.

I'll just wait until I physically have the card... measuring with a ruler can't be that accurate.

Wounder that!

I got 2xGTX460s in sli really amazing cards for the money. Runs Crysis 2 with DX11 on extreme settings perfectly fine

jawdropping... Thats all I gotta say

But I will be replacing these soon

i would recommend it to anyone on a budget of under 150. I got them for about 250 when they were released

I am not sure what you mean by blocking your ram slots. I do not know of any kind of motherboard layout that would do that. The PCI-e connector should be below enough to not interfere with that. Is it possible for you to move your HDD to another area? Maybe time for a new case

Cases are among the cheapest things to change on a system.

Zulthus · 2011-10-14, 11:46 PM

So... I replaced the 6950 order with a GTX 460, it's cheaper and everywhere I look people say it can run BF3 on ultra.. soo, might as well give it a try for $100 less. Will see how it performs.

Goku · 2011-10-14, 11:57 PM

GTX 460 on ultra with BF3? Depending on the resolution maybe. Not on 1920x1080 by the reviews I have seen.

Bags · 2011-10-15, 12:16 AM

I thought ultra wasn't unlocked?

Zulthus · 2011-10-15, 12:20 AM

I use a 1680x1050 Acer, so I should be fine. I don't need a television for a monitor.

Traak · 2011-10-15, 12:52 AM

And, with that hundred bucks you saved, you are that much closer to being able to buy another 460 and putting it in SLI.

Some features where, but not everything from what I understand.

You will likely mix high and ultra if you are lucky. If thats all you need then you saved yourself $100.

What the hell kind of motherboard are you using?
