    I need to replace it, but i have a nVidia GeForce 6800 XT AGP

    Now will a new VGA Fan still be able to work if i get one thats compatible for a GT?

    Sites list there specs for "6800 Series" but they dont mention anything being PCI or AGP. Also most of them state 3 pin, yet mine is a 2 pin connector. Any way around this, or is this soley for variable speed?

    I know I'm do for an upgrade.

    It shouldn't matter if it states PCI or AGP. And the 3pin connector should work on a 2pin card but you may need to do a little bit 'finesse-ing' or jerry-rigging, but it will work. Just pay attention to which of the 2pin wires go where; ie: the black wire is on the right pin, the red on the left, and just hook up the 3pin wires so the same colors connect to the same pins. Here's a couple of fan kits that should work OK:
