yup i can play hl2 all settings maxed out and doom 3 on high....just make sure 1) your mobo has pci-e( you would be suprised how many people accidently order the wrong one ) 2)the rest of your system is decent

k thanks for the link jlk03f150..mateo how would i know if my mobo has pci-e lol im a noob learning

edit - i know i have 5 pci slots and 1 agp slot thats all i know

[mateo leet-o]

well if you have an agp slot then you don't have a pci-e slot, so get the agp card
we all had to learn somewhere

edit:mobos either have pci-e slots or an agp slot for video cards

Yep, that card will work fine in your current mobo

Btw, what are the rest of your system specs, specifically the CPU and RAM? What PSU do you have (a link would be best)? How many Amps does it have on the 12V rail?
