How can I tell which kind of vid card my mobo supports?

I was looking inside the case and the one I have currently is a nVidia 6800 256. Which is probably why I have such crappy fps.

The video card is plugged into a black slot on the mobo if that helps. So is that an AGP or PCI?

Sounds like AGP....the newer MB's mostly only have PCI express (which is what you want)

[k9wizard]

to find out for sure what slot go to control panel, printers/other hardware, System, device manager, display adapters, then your vid card.

it will tell you what slot it is in without guessing....

hope that helps!

And PCI express (aka PCI-x) may not be on your mobo if you are running an AGP card.

So it says
Nvidia GeForce 6800 Series GPU
Location: PCI bus 1, device 0, function 0

So that means it's a PCI card?

Sorry but I'm still pretty new at this.

Probably AGP. Run CPU-Z to find out more about your system.

i have the same i think, and cpu-z calls the graphic interface version agp 3.0, even though the device says pci bus 1
