Hi guys,
I am considering purchasing said graphics card for my main machine. It is an AMD X2 4800+ OC'ed slightly (2400 to 2735). It is probably underpowered for the card, but the reason for the nvidia card is so that I can run the GPU stuff - CUDA.
My board is an old PCIe 1.0. Will there be compatibility issues? I only have one 16 lane PCIe slot, so cannot go SLI or Crossfire.
Will it run full throttle crunching?
I have a 650W PSU. Would that be enough? I do have 8 HDD's in the box, but not much else.
Anything else I should be carefull about, or just can the idea until I get and i7?
Appreciate any comments.
