Requirements for my new graphics card

[Vincent410]

I'm about to buy an Asus 660ti card with 2GB of ram. What are the requirements for my PC if I want to install this graphics card? (Slots, motherboard type, etc)

Thanks!

The only thing that would be required is a PC case that has two full slot PCI mounts. The only other requirement is a power connector for the video card. This you will have to check on your power supply. most likely you will need a 6-Pin PCIE power connector

You need a power supply that is at least 450w to power the card and your computer, one x16 PCI Express slot to slot the graphics card into and you will need two 2x6pin PCIE connectors on the power supply to plug into the graphics card.

Also if you were confused about what Michael Hurtle said about the card needing two PCIE slots, he meant that the card is 'dual slot' sized. In which means that when the card is plugged into the PCIE slot the heat sink (the plastic/metal cover on the top with the fan) will cover the second PCIE slot due to its large width.

I also recommend that you have at least a total of 8GB of RAM in your computer and a CPU to match the cards power if you want to game comfortably.
