Pci express x 16

Nemesis

My PSU is 800 watt BFG with 2 pci express connectors.

Motherboard is abit AW9-max

My graphics card was geforce 8800 gtx and now its dying.

Display is a philips 32 inch tv connected to PC by dvi-hdmi cable.

I'm going to order a new graphic card but have a few questions.

My motherboard has a pci express x 16 slot and I see PCI express 2 cards and other pci express cards.

Will these other cards fit into my motherboard?.

75-150 euro range is what I'm looking for.

Any advice welcome.

PCIE 2.0 is what all modern cards run off,like your GTX.Physically PCIE 1.0 and 2.0 slots are the same IIRC.

If your looking for a replacement,I'd get a 5770.Great budget card.Komplett have a few versions from different vendors

You might be able to get them cheaper if u look around. Both have their good points and bad points.

Nice card mate.....should have held off and went for the 5850. But you will not be dissapointed.

good choice nemesis. prob the best 5770 around atm

Id wait 2 weeks, the 5830 should be out by then and should be better and the price should just be a tad above the 5770 - http://www.fudzilla.com/content/view/17227/1/
