Can anyone tell me if this Motherboard will support this GDDR4 graphics card?

It shouldn't matter what type of memory is on the graphics card. The memory on the card is dedicated to the card and whether it is GDDR or GDDR4, it will communicate to the motherboard the same. It is just a newer card with better memory. But back to the subject. It will work.

Great, thanks alot mate. What is your opinion on this card for someone who cant spend over £80?

will it play any decent games like Bioshock or not?

or would a Nvidia GeForce 8600 GTS be better choise?






Cheers Tom

i would take the 8600 GTS, only because i know it can handle crysis on medium, and bioshock on high settings. thats for my 8600 GT, so with a bit oc you could maybe hit high on crysis.

In my opinion I would go with the 8600GTS if you can spot the cash. In THIS (http://www.neoseeker.com/Articles/Hardware/Reviews/powercolor_hd_2600_xt_review/) review, even the BFG 7600 GT OC beats the HD2600 XT in some benchmarks. In that review they used the XFX 8600GT and XFX 8600GTS. The GTS

If I were to go from this review alone, I would try to get the XFX8600GTS or XFX8600GTS XT for the extra £15-£25 from the website you were using.

HERE (http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2007/08/14/radeon_hd_2600_xt_vs_geforce_8600_gt/11) is another review in F.E.A.R. that an ASUS 8600GT beats the HD2600 XT at every test.

Another vote for the 8600GTS

HERE (http://www.microdirect.co.uk/(17160)XFX-GeForce-8600-GTS-256MB-DDR3-PCIE-DVI--675mhz.aspx) is another XFX8600GTS for £100.70 Ex VAT (whatever that means)

[Spawn-Inc]

VAT is taxes there.

[Outlaw]

Thanks, then its £118.32 inc VAT
