    Talking Another Graphics Card

    Sorry if this is in the wrong thread but I want to buy another GF card after christmas to go in my 3XS system wich ive had for about a month now. I want another XFX 5870 and was wondering would it FIT in my system as the pull out mother board tray looks as though it has a bracket which gives it structual support, and could I add any of the XFX versions or do they have to be running at the same clock speed etc.
    My system is :-
    Silverstone TJ09B-W Black Aluminium Full Tower Case inc Side Window
    Asus Rampage II Extreme, Intel X58, Sok 1366
    Creative X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion Soundcard PCI-E -
    1250W Enermax Revolution85+ PSU

    I ask as there doesnt seem enough room to fit another card.The 5870 I have at the moment takes up 2 bay slots and was concerned with the support bracket on the MB tray. I will upload some photos if it would be of any help.

    Hi Dark-Knight,

    It should fit in fine, the rampage board has 3 PCI-e 16 slots.

    What slot is the XFI installed into?

    Feel free to either upload a picture or email me philipp@scan.co.uk

    Hi Phillip, the sound card looks as though its inserted into the Audio/PCI Express x 1 slot 1 and the first GC is slotted into the PCI x 16 slot 1. Hope this helps.
