Vista - 9800gt ult + foxconn 6150k8ma-ekrs...?

**amplid** · 11-13-2008

Hey guys, I feel like a real dick asking this, but does the GPU stated above fit my mobo? The foxconn has a PCI-express x16, but does the card need a PCI-express x16 2.0, or will that one be fine? I'm biting off my fingernails in agony here...

Hope it fits..!

Hi Amplid,

The card should work fine, have a look here for information on the PCI-express standard: PCI Express - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The only issues that I could possibly think of are to do with its physical requirements, see here: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT: supercharge your graphics horsepower with this GPU at the perfect price and performance combination. Note the power connector requirements - you need 2 6-pin supplementary connectors, so if your PSU doesn't have these then you will need to upgrade it. In addition, will the card actually fit in your case? Although it should fit in most ATX cases you need to make sure that it doesn't interfere with, for example, your hard drives.

Lol Dwarf, I was one step ahead of you;D I've upgraded to a pc power & cooling 750 quad and a CM 690 case

Have a look , I'll post pics of the new (PSU and case...) build tomorrow. Show us your rig

I'd give you rep, but have to spread it first...

Thanks,

Amplid
