ir_cow Posted December 25, 2005 Posted December 25, 2005 if you have agp the best is 6800Ultra it still will play everquest 2, bf 2, and aoe 3 on max settings maybe even some AA/AF Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puck Posted December 25, 2005 Posted December 25, 2005 whats your current setup? Sometimes the cpu will support a pci-e mobo so you COULD change out mobos for pci-e 604963[/snapback] Lol u quoted silence from that heatsink thread... There are plenty of agp cards capable of playing all thsoe games flawlessly. First though we need a lot more info on your system. Prebuilt or made by your uncle? Cpu? Case? Once we get a bit more info we can start to help ya **edit** ...and no, the x850xtpe is the fastest agp card **edit** Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
