Okay I bought Borderlands on Steam. I opened it praying for it to work and got this error message. "Shader Version 3.0 needed" and I was like FML
So...my integrated graphics only supports 2.0. And I need to upgrade my existing computer quick.
So will this card be a good option for this motherboard.
My computer currently has:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130234
and will this card be compatable/fit in a micro atx mobo
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161349
also i don't know what kind of psu i have either .-.

a 6870, probably no. amps are too low.
a lower end card like the one above? yes, it probably won't even require any connectors, it'll just draw all it needs from the pci-e slot itself.

Sweet, thanks man. I'm gonna order the EVGA (just to be safe) I heard it can run Black Ops, Mass Effect 2, L4D2 All at Medium to max settings.

A completely new pc. I dont think this game will even run medium on a celeron. I couldn't get max frames all the time on an athlon II x4. Your pc is old man.

It's only a year old. Got in Jan 2010. Well, I gotta start saving up for my new pc. I'm pretty sure I can run it at a small resolution or low settings. I really honestly just don't have teh money to buy my build. Can't I just upgrade my CPU and PSU and it'll all be good? My 775 socket supports intel core 2 quad
The best I can do for now is upgrade my existing computer.

,430gt, orAMD 5670 would play borderland fine, assuming your resolution aren't high as fuck.

5670 beats the shit out of the 220 or 430. It doesn't get the recognition as a kick ass budget gaming card that it should.
