wyantm06 Posted June 6, 2006 CID Share Posted June 6, 2006 Ok I currently had a GeForce FX5500 but the fan on it was broke, so about after an hour playtime on Counter Strike: Source, it would start locking up. It was burning hot, that's all I need to say. Well I got upset, took it out and whipped it at the wall lol. I am currently aiming towards http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814150147 Here is my question, will the one I just linked work with this MOBO http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=P4M80-M7&cat=MBB One more question, is the GFX card I posted a link to better than my FX5500? Thanks Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/13906-video-card-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
amc11890 Posted June 6, 2006 CID Share Posted June 6, 2006 The 6500 will NOT work with you mobo. You need to look around for a gfx card that is agp not pci express.

amc11890 Posted June 6, 2006 CID Share Posted June 6, 2006 It will work but unfourtanetly it will be a step down from your 5500 Edit: if the 5500 was working well for you(when it was working) then you should get the same card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814140051 Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/13906-video-card-help/#findComment-150550 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he not doing something right? Because I am going to need this to play Counter Strike: Source, and Halo.
