New graphic card needed, what to buy?

Hows about this card

Seems like a good deal.. AGP and within your budget.
Only on till thursday though..

It's all good stuff

slapped an extra 1Gb ram in last night so now have 1.5Gb. Far Cry's is running a lot slicker now. But getting F.E.A.R. off santa and my PC spec is in between their min and recommended spec

The 6800GS will probly do me I reckon, can't be arsed fucking around getting a new mobo. Would mine support PCI express though and how would I check???? PC is only a year old.

Cheers for your help everyone

Hey si does your work let you borrow ram for other people?

nope

Thats a shame

these all sound fucking mint, i only have a crappy ati radeon 9200, didn't realise graphics cards where getting so mint, but then i don't play games on my pc.

Can you get a graphics card with four monitor outputs on for fairly cheap?

I don't think so.. I know you can get 3 output cards but I'm sure these are workstation standard cards (ie quadro series etc..)

However.. run 2 dual HDI cards in SLI and you could get 4 monitors working.

Why though??

Also.. games on a PC (well FPS and RTS/RPG) are vastly superior to consoles... you should really look into playing more on ya PC

for making tunes the more monitors i have the easier it is, theres so many windows and if i can have all the shit going off together it will make it easier

ive got a 6800GT, had it for about a year and it plays any game ive threw at it so far.

not a bad buy if u can get it cheap!

There's a good page of benchmarks / framerates for all of te recent games here- FEAR, Quake 4, Half Life 2, Far Cry etc.

It's got most of the top end gfx cards on. Worth a look if you're struggling to decide.....

If you check out page 7, it has all of the proper benchmarking scores (3dmark / aquamark etc)

Decent graphics card for under £100???

quite a bit less than £100 is possible


i dont play many games on PC at all but want to play that new F.E.A.R game


system is an Athlon XP 64 3000+ with 1gb Ram but with an old 64mb graphics card

ended up getting a Geforce 6600gt, it's 128Mb instead of the 256Mb I had on the 5700, but with 1.5Gb regular ram as well it now kicks bottom big style.

benchmarked it on far cry 1024/768/32 with max bling and my fps went from 20 odd on the 5700 to 55 odd on the 6600.

chuffed

I have a WEAK GeForce 2 32mb

Dont play PC games though so not such a big deal

Plus if you upgrade far cry to the latest patch u get SM3 support.

Lots of shiney new effects etc!!!!!
