gotdamojo06 Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 Alright I need to pick up a new AGP video card, I dont have the money to upgrade to PCI-E right now. Im looking for a card that is going to be priced under or around $150 and is going to give me 1) good graphics 2) score good in benchmarks and 3) give me a great boost from a 9200. I will be willing to go for either Nvidia or ATI. My motherboard currently is a MS-7025 with a nForce3 250 chipset and a nForce3 MCP southbridge The main reason for this is because I cant afford to purchase a new computer at this time and I need to upgrade video card for the Forum Wars comp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 not worth it! What happened to the C2D rig you pieced together? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_cow Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 you can find x800s for under $120 now i got mine from newegg for $130 with a $20 rebate anything else is a kinda a waste because these new games need CPU power Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 130$ is quite a bit considerin the power a x800 has. I would save up and get a C2D rig!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verran Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 I was thinking the 1950Pro might be good, if you could still find an AGP one, but I have to agree with everyone else and just say "yuck" instead. Investing any decent amount of money into AGP at this point just seems like a really bad idea. Not only are you going to pay a lot more for a lot less, but you shoot yourself in the foot when it comes to planning a move to a C2D (or whatever your next upgrade may be).

gotdamojo06 Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 I sorta figured that it wouldnt be worth it... curently I dont have the money to spend on a new rig so thats out of the option... I am working at Wendy's right now and trying to get a job at Burger King for some extra money that I would be able to save up and spend on a rig but thats not workikng out too well yet, Ill know on Thursday if I have the job or not...lol I need to find a job here in Michigan that pays well and that has to do with computers and does not require any past experience or a degree from a college since I just got done w/ my first year at Ferris State and Im working on trying to go somewhere different because Ferris isnt that good IMHO I also had some things come up w/ the car that took a little bit more of my attention than a new computer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
