Hey ya'll ! I was wondering if I could have some recommendations on video cards for ASUS PN5D. i was looking on pc-specs.com and other forums(mostly about crapped out video cards and options for this mobo) and the GTX 660-690's are well recommended, and the MSI GT640 is pops around as well.
Been had this unit for 8 years, replaced video card once and added some extra gbs of ram. Purpose of unit is for music software + video games (not top of the line ).
Mobo:
2 x PCIe 2.0 x16 - Single VGA mode: x16 - SLI mode: Hardware ready for x16, x16
2 x PCIe x1
2 x PCI 2.2
System : Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q9450 Quad 2.66GHZ cores, 12MB l2 Cache
8GB Corsair Memory , Win7 64bit
Options so far : EVGA GeForce 660-690 GTX, MSI GeForce GT 640.
Would any of the above options be compatible with my machine? Anything higher end that wont bottleneck my cpu ?
Imagine I had a GeForce 9600 GT previously so anything is an improvement now.
Looking to spend up to 100-130$ so I can feed my habits without breaking bank or building a new rig.
Cheers!
