What's Your Video Card?


Recommended Posts

im planning to buy a Geforce FX 5700 or Ati 9600. they're both agp 8x.

but my mobo only supports up to agp 4x. is it safe to try them out? or ill just stick to my old Geforce 2 ti?  :(

 

An AGP 8x card will automatically downgrade to 4x, kung yan lang ang kaya ng board. It also depends on the card if it is capable of using the data bandwidth provided by AGP 8x. Kung mabagal yung 3D chip and memory, kahit nakalagay 8x yung card, malamang hindi niya talaga nagagamit yung full 8x. Avoid the FX 5700, those particular series of cards didn't receive really good reviews.

tell me if im right pero diab geforce cards series 6 and up require extra power while those GF2->5FX dont,

which woud save on wattage and getting a new PSU..

and would require a good processor to run

 

any stock PSU will do well with a 6200. mine has been running perfectly fine with my stock 250watt psu. it's the 6600(gt) cards and above that require at least 350watts, you even have to plug a power connector (same type as used in disk/harddrives) to the graphics card itself.

 

 

so instead of getting a 6 series card, the 5700 or the 5900 ( is there such? ) would be a good buy althobut then again FX has a baugh tama ka, not that good reviews for 5700..

d rep*tation also dunno why

 

forget the FX'es and skip ahead to a 6 series card. you will undoubtedly upgrade eventually if you bother getting an FX now. i recommend getting a 6600GT.

I have Matrox card... dati pa akong user ng matrox since the generations pa ng 286's

They were dependable eversince.

 

Pero nainis ako 3 years ago when I upgraded to G550 tapos di pwede sa games na binili ko....

Heavy gamer pa man din ako.

I haven't upgraded it yet, and lost interest in pc games.

But now I'm getting hooked again in online games and I don't exactly know whats new and whats hot.

(I don't think I'll get another matrox card)

 

:D

Matrox have stopped manufacturing video cards, I think they are more focus on those All In One cards digital video editing cards.

 

Only two chips you can choose either Nvidia or ATI.
