Upgrading Video Card Help

[josmil1]

so you would agree that the HD4670 would fit?

Yeah E-man, I see that. But he said he tried a 9600GT, and it wouldn't fit. To me, it does look like he has plenty of room, but I have to believe what he says ATM.

*Off Topic*

And as far as GPU crunching, I believe that it would work fine, it just may not give you all the PPD you deserve with that card.

*Back on Topic*
Like I said josmil, I'm not sure what to say. It really does look like you have enough room for whatever card you want. You may have to move your HDD up or down a couple bays, but other then that you should be fine.

I'm looking at the HD 4670, and it looks like it would fit easily, so it doesn't matter if its PCI express 2.0 x 16..since i have a PCI Express x16 that runs at x4...so it wont matter correct?

Newegg.com - HIS Hightech H467QT512P Radeon HD 4670 IceQ Turbo 512MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

Hey guys,

I put in the 8800gs on the 775 dualvsta mobo and it crushes the ide hard drive cables. The edge of the card sits on top of the ide cables. The card has about 1 inch space before it reaches the edge of the motherboard.

More importantly for some reason, on both of my asrock mobo I could never run an nvidia card. It had to be an ATI card. I am able to use the ati radeon agp and the pci-e x300 but not nvidia. I have to put back the ATI card for me to use the box. Maybe it needed a complete reinstall due to driver conflict but I can't reimage it due to I use it for work and I needed to reinstall all the work apps, pita.

So there you are josmil1.

Thanks man, in that case I should definitly purchase an ATI Radeon HD 4670
