Help me decide on a graphic card?

Any video card that requires a PCI-E x16 or 2.0 slot will work on a motherboard that has a PCI-E x16 or 2.0 slot. Video cards are pretty simple in terms of motherboard compatibility.

Since you say that the motherboard has three PCI-E 2.0 slots, you are good to go!

I hope this helps!

Hello, If I were you, I would investigate the nVidia GeForce 200 series and above, I have two (2) GeForce 8800 Ultras(in SLi) on a XFX 780i SLi motherboard, the cards are about 2 1/2 years old and I can still play any game out on the market on High settings( Including Crysis ) and the only Video Card that even comes close to the 8800 ultras or surrpasses it is the nVidia 260GTX or above(I've included a link below to a really good one), make sure the card will work with the PCIe 2.0 and I would also think about going SLi if you play games.

Alrighty!.

Here is your motherboard's full description page

This will tell you under the "Specifications" Tab

that you have 3 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (at x16/x16/x4 mode)

((So avoid the very end PCI-e slot :) as its just x4.)

(So make sure you plug the graphics card into the closest PCI-e slot to your CPU, as that is PCI-e Slot 1 at x16 speeds=D .)

Or!

Is the 8800gt you brought a AGP graphics card...If it is....It will never work with that motherboard..because your motherboard only take's PCI-e Graphics card's.....

Try make sure that the graphics card you buy has a "PCI-e 2.0" Interface :)

OR you proble could be!

Your power supply!.............You will need atleast......A 400watt power supply with a 16amp 12volt rail to support your Graphics card.

HOPE THIS HELPS :+D

To ensure that your videocard is compatible all you need to do is ensure the slot type of the card matches a slot on your motherboard.

I.e for your motherboard, all PCI-e type cards will be compatible however AGP slot cards will not.
