Graphics Card

Yes. It will run with those. You have the proper expansion slot and will have enough power.

K THX. Cause I might buy it. But the GTS 450 also looks promising. Any thoughts?

I have that same question - about the 450 card ( due to it not being on the list) , in the graphics card ranking thread. So far, no answers...

460 > 450, obviously. The 450 is no slouch, but it is basically a crippled 460: 288 cores vs 192 cores (cores = shaders)

Thanks Trotter. I did not know that shaders= cores. Now can try to figure out the whole video card thing better. Wish the info on cards were uniform, some give shaders, some cores, some memory speed , gddr3 vs gddr5, then the whole memory speed under stress vs resting, etc. etc. They don't make it easy.
