Hello everyone, iv been looking around for a new video card, because my integrated 64mb video is just.. well is completly a useless peice of sh*t, and i was wondering what would be a good video card to get, that isnt to expensive but has atleast 128mb of video ram, and has to AGP because my computer duz not have a PCI-E slot only PCI and AGP


TOPIC MOVED /twistedmetal

Oh right on, thank you, i will keep my eye out for one and perhaps buy it, because my current one sucks bad... realbad, but still runs slrr half way with low resolution lol

ATI Radeon X1950GT or Pro in AGP guise... Or even the nVidia 7900GS. They are both cheap and good cards.
Dont get a 9800, they are OLD, and you probably wont find a new one (I bought my 9800Pro back in 2003, GFX cards have come a long way since).
They are severly outdated, specially since they lack SM3.0.. ATI cards first got SM3.0 from the X18XX and up.. Thats 2. generations up from the 9800 (the line goes 9800 series, X800 series, X850 series, X1800 series, X1900 series, HD series).

Even the X1950's and 7900's are already outdated since they are DX9 cards

I have HD2600 Pro (Dx10, Shaders 4.0), it's great video card.

lol i just picked up a bfg 5500oc with 256 megs
$40 from future shop
they also have 7600 for 90

Wow wasent expecting so many reply's But thank you all, i am copy pasting all of your reccomendationgs and printing them out sometime next week, and heading out to see witch ones i can find down here and are priced the best. again thank you all for the help hope you all are having a good begining in this new year

listen


x1950 pro is the best performing agp as far as i know, then comes the 7800gs agp


you wont get any better UNLESS you live in europe with crazy companies putting 7900 nvidia's on 7800 chassis or something stupid like that, lehto has got a 7900 or something on his agp bus which is a 7800 agp chassis


but amercian wise, 7800gs or x1950pro i would get 7800 again cuz i like nvidia better for multidisplay, its just a preference. but panther had a 1950 once and we both benchmarked some games and his was slightly better each time

Ah... I knew everything would went that way. Seriously those x1950pro or 7950gt cards cost a shit-load of money for me. Obviously that's why i recomended an oldie, but whateva

Still, he should be saving up for a new motherboard with PCI Express instead of dumping money into old technology.

man some of us just can't afford new shit
so we just upgrade what we got

As long as it's AGP and cheap, that may actually be a good way to go. Specrider lives in Canada though, so you might want to check out shipping charges.

Panther15 :
the x1950 pro was hella nice when i had it, but im now usin a 8800 gts on pci express, i still got the x1950 pro 512mb though.i could always sell it to you lol.

There u go, buy his 1950


problem solved cuz i know he only used this card for a lil while then upgraded to pci e

as many ppl said u dont wanna spend alot of money on old tech, depending on how much panther wants for his card u should buy it, or do like a friend of mine, he bought my old pc and it had a real sucky geforce 440mx 128mb wich he replaced with a xfx 7600gt and it does the job real well, its super cheap these days too.

7600 at future shop is $100

yeah i would say 100 is fair
