Video Cards

[F15pilotX 4]

Well, I've been looking around at them for a while, and want to see what most people have/want...

 

so just give a pic and/or the specs of your video card, and while you're at it, one that you're thinking of getting soon (if you are)

 

For me...a 64MB GeForce 4 MX 4000 AGP 8x

 

Now, as to what I want....a NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT / 256MB DDR3 / AGP 8x / DVI / VGA / TV Out / Video Card

 

I would get something better, but to get a PCI-E at this point would force me to get a new processor and motherboard....about $550 So I'll go w/that pretty decent card

Why would you need to get a new motherboard? You could just upgrade the motherboard of the same socket with one that was has PCI-E.

 

Mine.

[Sonic 295]

My card is an MSI Geforce NX6600-VTD128 Diamond

 

 

Its handled everything I have thrown at it but I regret not doing enough research when I purchased it, for the money I spent I could have got something better. Oh well lesson learned I guess.

Mine -

 

Sapphire Radeon 9600XT 256MB

 

 

Works okay for what I want. It's my processor that generally seems to let me down...

 

Cheers for now

I know that, but sadly, my processor is a Socket A AMD Athlon XP 2200+ :? There are no motherboards that support Socket A processors and PCI-E, at least I haven't found any

I have an ATi Radeon Xpress 200M in my Laptop

[BWare 0]

Yeah, I seriously dount that they would have one. Socket A is pretty old

Yeah I feel sorry for you.

...back to the topic at hand, here's my video card:

 

 

 

 

I also have installed custom cooling... an Arctic Silver Silencer. The thing is awesome. It sucks cool air in from inside the case, blows it through the solid copper (highly conductive) heatsink, and out the back. It dropped my card's idle and load temps by about 20 degrees C!

[F15pilotX 4]

Yeah, I seriously dount that they would have one. Socket A is pretty old

Yea, and to get a PCI-E card would cost $586 because of that.

 

However, that 6600 I meantioned seems like it'll work just fine till I save up enough for that huge upgrade

[TheBlackOut 7]

 

Just to show it off more. I had no idea it was huge. My last video card was like 3 times smaller than this...

[F15pilotX 4]

What was your last one?

[TheBlackOut 7]

What was your last one?

 

A sad... sad one.

[F15pilotX 4]

Come on. Name it.

 

and your sig should read "The Pope? How many divisions does he have?- Joseph Stalin"

[Dr. Rodney McKay 0]

For me: ATI Radeon Xpress 200 128 MB. Got it with my new computer. :wink:

[F15pilotX 4]

Yea, my dad just got a new pc, and that's what he got w/it too

[TheBlackOut 7]

For me: ATI Radeon Xpress 200 128 MB. Got it with my new computer. :wink:

 

Oh my god! Thats that intergrated thing right?! My computer I am using right now has got that! Though its 264mb.

 

And F15...

I had a xfx 6800 that i had softmodded into a 6800GT but i didn't like the preformance so i bought a xfx 6800GT, had it fry on me and used my old Chaintech Ti4200 64mb. Now im using a new 6800GT from my RMA, and it rocks. But now my motherboard fried, luckly i had another computer with the same parts in it laying around.

[F15pilotX 4]

Sounds like you could use some cooling in that pc :lol:

[TheBlackOut 7]

Totally. :shock:

[Thierry 0]

6800 256mb DDR3 Gamers Edition, mix between 6800, 6800 GT and 6800 Ultra, got for 40% of what it costs in the US

It's not that. Hans just loves frying his PC, he seems to do it a lot. And when he's not frying his PC, he's frying himself in the summer!!

Hans, next time you fry you PC, dip it in some ketchup.

[TheBlackOut 7]

Oh well, I think my video card owns your's!! But I didn't get a discount. >_>
