New Video Card?

Grey_Raven75 · 07-13-07, 11:06 AM

Right now I'm running a Pentium D 840 3.2 gHz with 2 gigs dual channel DDR2 and a GeForce 6800XT with a GPU clock speed of 350 and 512 mb. So my question is the video card a bottleneck? I'm suspecting it is. What do you guys think?

Strangely enough, I was going to ask the same question.

MOBO: ASUS PC800e Deluxe
CPU: P4 3.0
RAM: 2 GIGS (4x512MB) ddr400 184pin
Video Card: PNY VERTO 6800GT (256mb)
OS: Windows XP

I wanted to get a second video card, but neither the mobo or the video card is SLI capable.

My specs are nigh on identical apart from the card (I have a 7800 GS).
Your card is the weakest link of all your specs but IMO your looking good and should have no problems

You guys actually look fairly balanced to me, although the P4 and PD aren't exactly speed demons and tend to run hot.
