What's Your Video Card?

[kenji_1989]

Thanks! Yeah, I guess I'll go for the 7600GT instead. By the way, how come the AGP versions are more expensive than the PCI-E? What's so special about them aside from the different slot dimensions? Also, most people like ATI. What gives?

 

Yeah, you're correct. Just like what my callsign and avatar sez, I'm into hardcore flight simulation stuff. The more realistic, the better. Kaya siguro di ako bumili nung Lock-On: Modern Air Combat because of the realism issue. I love Falcon 4.0 Allied Force better. Reading the 750-Page manual to learn about avionics, radar modes, fighter tactics and instrument approaches is well worth it. And on the Flight Simulator, nothing beats the satisfaction of bringing your Boeing 737 back in one piece after executing a perfect ILS Runway 06 Approach to RPLL in poor visibility and lousy weather. Hehe!

When it comes to low end cards, there is only little difference in price with PCI-E...However, in high end AGP cards, because of low demands, kaya mas mahal since users buy high end cards in PCI-E platform...Kasi nga kaunti nalang yung nagmamanufacture ng motherboard na may AGP slot so consumers, bat sila bibili ng high end video card na out of production?..

 

I finally found someone na katulad ng interests ko... See you in the Games Thread dun tayo usap about flight sim...

Thanks, I thought AGP is not anymore in production.

Hi, does anyone has an idea when the gforce 8800 would be available in Manila, & what are its hardware (mobo) requirements?

So, it is like comparing ddr with ddr2 rams. currently kc mas mura ang ddr2 rather than ddr the higher the demand the higher the price.

By the way, I'm looking for a good GPU because I'm gonna install Microsoft Flight Simulator X and run it with all the settings maxed out, with decent frame rates. Demanding kasi yung system requirements ng FSX. Instead of getting a GeForce 8000 Series, do you think a pair of GeForce 7300GTs (256MB 128-Bit) running on SLI mode would be enough for the job?

 

The rig I'm building will have the following specs:

 

AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Socket 939

Asus A8N-SLI SE

Kingston 1GB DDR2 RAM PC400

Seagate 120GB HDD 7200RPM SATA

Creative 24-Bit X-Fi Platinum

_________ >>>> Video Card ????

 

 

Base on experience, if you want to build an SLI pc, use GF7900GS (PALIT) or higher. I think its around 7.5k a piece at PCBODEGA. But if you're on a budget 7300GT is good though in SLI mode. B4 i use 7300GT Sonic in SLI, pero pinalitan

ko ng 7900GS. Its not because 7300GT wont do the job, but for the reason that sayang kc yung SLI ready ko na PSU. Wala

kasing 6pin power connector yung 7300GT.

 

These are my specs to give you an idea on SLI:

 

AMD Athlon64 X2 3600+ AM2

Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe

(2x) 1GB Kingston PC533 DDR2

(1x) Gainward GF 7900GS 256/128 DDR3

(1x) Palit GF 7900GS 256/128 DDR3

(1x) 160GB WD HDD IDE

(2x) 80GB Seagate SATA (configure to RAID) for much better graphics

(1x) LG GSA-H42L DVD with LS

(1x) LG DVD Drive

(1x) Intake 12cm case fan

(1x) Exhaust 12cm case fan

I use casetek 1026-9b for my casing and modify it to add 1 side fan for internal cooling.

NVIDIA FORCEWARE Driver release 93.71

Nice write-ups you got here. To those who are experiencing problems with their graphics cards, hope you could specify what brand of GPU you are using and maybe some details too about your setup/rig. This would be a great help to those of us who are planning to upgrade our video cards. That way, we all could avoid the lemons. Thanks! I'm planning to get one.

 

So which one would you recommend?

 

BRANDS

- Sapphire

- Palit

- Leadtek

- PowerColor

- Inno3D

- MSI

- ASUS

- Foxconn

 

CHIPSET

ATI

Nvidia

 

For the chipset I only recommend NVIDIA

 

For brands I highly recommend EVGA pero bihira lang kc yung nagbebenta.

So I would go for Leadtek, Gainward, Asus, Foxconn and Palit kc mura and ok namn.

The others, I would'nt recommend at all.

Why are video cards 7600gt or 1650xt and higher so hard to find in the Manila? Shops would tell you that they need a deposit to get the cards, can we believe them?

Kasi they put usually on stocks yung mga low end na video cards since they believe not everyone can afford those high priced video cards. Yun din nakakainis kasi onti na nga choices, yung mga gusto mo pang model, minsan hindi available. Im tired of seeing 6200s for PCI-E and FX5500 for AGP, the usual display on most pc parts retailers.

 

Ow my video cards is geforce 6200 and geforce 8800gts
