I was thinking of the gigabyte one. Looks like it might be quiet , good airflow, and pretty cool, temperature wise. My currect GPU is a Gigabyte, with a zalman fan.
My current gpu doesn't support CUDA. Since my mobo was made several years before the 9800 gt, would it even run a 9800GT ? Or does PCI Express 2.0 not really care as long as it use the same input. I don't think Asus is creating updates to my bios, if that's necessary .
I just joined as well. I am considering getting a new card, if my motherboard allows it. I would like to know if I have to upgrade to a Direct X 10 card to take advantage of voxels?
Here are my current specs of my system:
MOtherboard: Asus P5B-E P965 775 (I believe its PCI Express 2)
RAM:8 gigs
Video card: GIgabyte Nvidia 7900 gt (was a pretty high end card when I bought it)
CPU: 6600 Intel Core 2 Duo
Power supply is 580 watts (this seems to be important for the bigger graphics cards.
Which of the high end nvidia cards run cool and offer good performance? I'd prefer a less noisy GPU if possible.
