AGP upgrade

andy faith · 09-17-2007, 03:31 PM

Well I want to get a better graphics card but I can't spend to much money, I would get a PCI-E card but then I would basically need a new computer to do that so I'll stick to what I've got and go with an AGP card. What do you reckon I should get? definately less than £100, hopefully around £50-60. What are your suggestions?

The best card on the market is a ATI RADEON X1950PRO 512mb Click this.
This costs £93.19 Ex VAT
£109.50 Inc VAT This is the cheapest and best card on the market

This is comperhension to the Pro VS 7600GT

20FPS MORE!

Between a 7900GS http://www23.tomshardware.com/graphi...=712&chart=275 15Fps more in a pro.

No they are all 256mb versions so with 512mb you will score 10Fps more

This would be a good choice... It's a good card...

preffering the price range of the 7600GT

Kornowski · 09-17-2007, 03:58 PM

People can apparently max out Bioshock with it, so

andy faith · 09-17-2007, 04:07 PM

nice! is the 7600GS similar to the GT's performance? I only ask as I can get that from a shop near me, they don't seem to have the GT

Kill Bill · 09-17-2007, 04:08 PM

Then how about a X1650PRo 512mb Not as fast
http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=580942 but it costs £56

P.S Andy Faith it depends if it is a 512mb 7600GS it will meet demands with a 7600GT and it will have better loadings escepally for games like TR legend and rendering programes like 3D max

No, the 7600GT is better than 7600GS
