can anyone pls test to see if the 8800GTS works on the AsRock 775DUAL-VSTA and yeah, I know the PCI-Express on this board is only x4
DonNagual said:Personal opinion:
I wouldn't waste money buying the 8800GTS on that system. These graphics cards are MONSTERS and require extremely fast systems in order to make full use of them.
What CPU do you currently have? How much ram? (probably a good idea to fill out your user profile with your system specs)
Sure that card would run on your system, but (personal opinion) you are wasting your money at this point. Get a high end 7000 card instead. Wait until the DX10 games are out, and the prices of the DX10 cards come down.
Normally I wouldn't link to another forum, but that thread is 54 pages long and probably contains more information about that ASRock board than the rest of the internet combined. I think I've read about all of it from when I was deciding to get the board, through overclocking, and now for your 8800 question.tcscenter over at Anandtech on page 54 said:Originally posted by: flevio
is there any change in incompactibility with the new 8800gts 320 or its the same with old 8800 series?
Since neither the board nor chipset is the cause of the incompatibility, I doubt there would be any change. These GPUs won't work on PCI Express slots that operate @ 8x or 4x lanes, apparently.
