Dark_Raven Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 A 7XXXX in AGP form?!?!?! I thought the AGP slot was outdated. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We are not about to have another custom built computer yet.

Dark_Raven Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 I have another computer but that one is the media computer, used for playing movies and music most of the time. It is not a game machine with it's ATI All in Wonder card. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf16 Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 (edited) Probably been said before, but when you do get a card, make sure it's a Geforce 6xxx or above and don't bother with an ATI card below the new X1xxx line as they don't have shader 3.0, which is what all the new games are capitalizing on. And, if at all possible, think about getting a good-for-the-price motherboard with a PCI-E slot, then purchase a card accordingly. Best to save up and buy the motherboard first, then save up again and get the best card you can reasonably afford. These latest cards should last you a couple years or more so why not?

WITHTEETH Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 (edited) What I see on the 7x series of cards are PCI Express and no AGP. My CPU is a 2.8Ghz. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The best Grapic card for APG is the Gainward Bliss 7800GS with 512 GDDR3, it actually uses the 7800GT chip so you can over clock the bejebus out of it naturally! :D it has 20 pipes instead of the 16 that the other 7800gs haves and runs cool because its basically underclocked even though its still overclocked to fit in with the GS standards instead of the GT standards. http://www2.computeruniverse.net The Review Edited April 2, 2006 by WITHTEETH Always outnumbered, never out gunned!

WITHTEETH Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 (edited) Well I think it's because AGP is kinda dead. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But as they keep overclocking these cards its obvious to see that the AGP8X still has potential that hasn't been used up. It supports 20 pipelines and its been overclocked, then re overclocked and the benchmarks are still improved. Plus why couldn't APG be compatible with Direct X10? AGP is slow, but not in its grave just yet. Edited April 2, 2006 by WITHTEETH Always outnumbered, never out gunned! Unreal Tournament 2004 Handle:Enlight_2.0 Myspace Website!

Hassat Hunter Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 (edited) Don't tell us, tell Nvidia and ATi, who already abandoned AGP... Maybe they can make yet another Necro-act just for DX10? (Very unlikely... since it makes less $ for them... but nobody didn't expect a 7xxx for AGP either...)

metadigital Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 While there are enough people out there with AGP motherboards, the companies will make video cards for them. What's next is dual video cards (and dual video chips on one card, in pairs to make quad). That requires PCI-E, but even so PCI-E 8x bus is amply sufficient: the PCI-E 16x channel isn't even being utilized enough to warant it (at the moment): it is just future tech, so far. Dual/quad video card power is ONLY an advantage on larger resolutions. There is NO benefit for 800x600, say, the card(s) would just idle (and be throttled by the CPU). The monitor needs to be displaying something like the new widescreen WSXGA (1680x1024, or 1024 progressive) and WUXGA (1920 x 1200, or 1200 progressive).

jaguars4ever Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 (edited) Pixie - If you want to find a really cheap AGP card (8Mb, 16Mb, 32Mb, 64Mb), then check out your local 'office' super-store: Office Depot, Office Max, Staples etc. I'm sure they'll have something for less than $40 bucks.
