video card discussion: whats your opinion?

[Guest recoton007]

What kind of port do you have? Although most cards come in all port sizes and kinds, it is helpful to know.

 

I reccommend the ATi Radeon 9000 Pro 64Mb card. I have a Radeon X300 LE 256MB PCI Express card, and it works fine. Check ebay and you can get a pretty good card for $100 or so.

 

 

I was kind of looking for a brand new sealed video card

 

i never thought of getting a videocard on ebay

 

thanks for the tip

Area

 

i personally am a nvidia freak because there is a nvidia chip in the xbox

 

i heard some great stuff about the 9800, but does the computer lag somewhat?

 

what kind of games make your video card heat up a little?

 

thanks for the input

pleasant gaming

 

There's a 9800 Pro and a 9800 All In Wonder Pro. I have the AIW. It gets hot when you try to run demanding programs, such as graphic editing, or when you run games, I've only had it about 2 weeks, World of Warcraft made it heat up a bit.

 

I threw a couple copper BGA sinks on it, and it wont over heat now. I dont blame ya for likin Nvidia, I like em too, buying this All In wonder was a total impulse sort of thing, lucky me, I like it. Go with what you like, if you want Nvidia, get it. Dont regret not getting what you wanted.

 

 

 

Will the video card lag for HALF-LIFE2

on max graphics?

I was checking out the 6600, but I could only find the overclocked versions of it.

 

I heard that the OC are bad

 

Is the video card you're talking about also OC.
