qaz156 Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 It's upgrade time for me, considering next year NWN2 will be out and it'll need a good graphics card. Any recommendations?

Any recommendations? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This thread will be moved soon with out doubt....but hey you didn't say how much money you have available and do you have an AGP 8X or the PCI 16X slot on your motherboard?
Meshugger Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 7800 GT <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yup, it's has definately the best performance/price ratio.

qaz156 Posted January 12, 2006 Author Posted January 12, 2006 (edited) I don't know if I have a slot. I thought I would just remove my old graphics card if there isn't a free slot. But I'm a layman here. Do I need a specific slot or something? In terms of money, let's just assume I'm willing to get something like the 7800 GT.

Nick_i_am Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Yeah, there's little reason for a 'layman' to have more than one graphics card installed. Basically, different cards need different kinds of slot, so you have to find out what your motherboard is, then find out what slots that kind of motherboard has. If it's an older motherboard, expect not to be able to handle the best cards, obviously. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Bokishi Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Just pray that you won't have just a pci... Current 3DMark
Nick_i_am Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 if he was running a mobo that didn't have an AGP slot then NWN2 would pretty much be out of the question anyway. I miss PCI slots. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)

One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.
Commissar Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 7800 GT <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I recently acquired one of these, and I thoroughly enjoy it.
