Hy,
I want to buy a new video card for my PC. The video card I want is Gainward GTX460 GLH, 1024MB GDDR5, dual-HDMI, DVI-I, PCI-E, with a nvidia chipset
http://www.gainward.com/main/vgapro.php?id=395 . I talked with a friend and he told me that my motherboard is optimized fot ATI chipset and that a video card with nvidia chipset will not run at full perfomance and he recomended HIS ATI Radeon HD 5830 iCooler V Turbo, 1024MB, DDR5, 256bit, Full HD1080p, HDMI, PCI-E. I still want to buy the nvidia one, but now I have doubts. Now I have a Gigabyte 9500 GT with nvidia chipset and works just fine. All I want to know is if nvidia video card will work at full perfomance or not. thank you.
the motherboard is GA-EP45C-DS3R
