HAHA well i just got up and WO alot of replys and if i can nag at my mum to get a X800pro then ill get that and ill tell u guys the specs of my comp so i you acn get an idea. Pentium 4 2.80GHz memory 768MB RAM Its AGP well i think it is system model AWRDACPI system manufacturer GBT___ Windows XP Profesional Nvidia Geforce FX5200 (CRAP!!) 128mb Sound Realtec AC97 Audio and thats what i know about my PC
Go for the new 6800 GS ... this one is one of the best of them. 12 Pipelines, 400 MHz Core, 1100 Mhz Memory ... Availible at newegg. --> Here is the exact link. ... I would go for it if I were you. I had a Geforce 5200 just like you and upgraded to an ASUS x850 XT Platinum Edition. This card is $100 cheaper than the one I bought though.
you all realize that what you are suggesting costs about twice as much. Also, if you are going to get the 6800, you might as well pay the extra 50$ or so to get the 7800.
Haha well you know of u guys are in America then we have to dobble or tripple it so yeah graphics cards are like gold here unless u go onto trademe.co.nz which are like 300 to 1000 haha and yeah but im just wondering will it play like Battle Firld 2 on medium and fear on medium lol and ill haves a lookski on those websites you referd to me
newegg only sells in the US(FYI USD ae worth more than newzealand $) but you can look around to see whats good for the price and do the currency conversion...
hey well ive chossen what i want not a 9800XT its a Gigabyte GV-N66T128D 6600GT 128MB AGP Model: GV-N66T128D Gigabyte Geforce 6600GT AGP8x GPU: Geforce 6600GT + HSI Memory: 128MB DDR-III, 128bit memory bus Memory speed: 1000MHz Core clock speed: 500MHz Pixel Pipeline: 8 Bus: AGP 8X Output type: D-Sub, DVI-I, TV-Out, Support Multiview Included: - Software: Power DVD 5.0 - Tool: V-Tuner2, Spell Force now is that alright cause on this website http://www.etccomputers.co.nz/shop/main/pr...id=&sid=&rote=2 it doesnt have any agp 6800s so yeah and i dont have a PCI-e slot
i wouldnt buy, cause its already old, you can better buy a ati radeon x800pro or other version ps: s.t.a.l.k.e.r is not released jet...
OMG i would get one if they had it but they only have a PCI e card listen lol and i was wonder if thats a good card for 239 dollars in NZD so stop telling me to buy a x800 or a 6800 wen i know there isnt ne on this website lol (sorry for been angry) Merged Post: Well i just went onto this forum and this guy posted that the 6600GT the oneim buying has more power than the original and it runs doom 1024 and the other resolution medium and gets 60fps americas army highest 60 to 100 fps um far cry on high with no lag no glitches and others with high FPS so me gonas buys thats one and i only really play Americas army and ill play BF2 when i get the card and u can play BF2 with a FX5200 but not good
the x800 is more powerfull than the 6600 and is about the same price. Also, you can unlock pipelines on the x800GTO to make it powerfull enough to exceed the 6800. aprox prices(USD): listed by power 6200[128mb] 60-80$ 6600[128mb] 130-180$ depending on model x1600XL[128mb] 130-140$ x800GTO[128mb](can exceed 6800 if pipelines unlock) 130$ 6800[128-256mb] 170-300$ x1800XL[256-512mb - OCs very well and pipe unlock] 250-380$ 7800 GT[256mb] 270-380$ x1800XT[256-512 - can OC to outperform two 7800GTXs]450-550$ 7800GTX[256mb] 480-580$ 7800GTX[512mb] 700-900$ remember that vRAM (MB) does not equal more power, 128mb of vRam is powerful enough for most things. order may be off slightly for some things, but you get the idea...
haha i know it is powerfull. all i am asking is it good enough for todays games like battle field 2 ect ect ect... and i dont have a pci e slot so i cant have it cause the website im buying from doesnt have x800s and 6800s in the AGP thing Merged Post: Model: GV-N66T128D Gigabyte Geforce 6600GT AGP8x GPU: Geforce 6600GT + HSI Memory: 128MB DDR-III, 128bit memory bus Memory speed: 1000MHz Core clock speed: 500MHz Pixel Pipeline: 8 Bus: AGP 8X Output type: D-Sub, DVI-I, TV-Out, Support Multiview Included: - Software: Power DVD 5.0 - Tool: V-Tuner2, Spell Force this is was im talking about now
they should, they are made in the AGP form. try another site or a local retailer if you have to. what site are you looking on though?
http://www.etccomputers.co.nz and on that one they dont and i tried this other one and u cant order lol sooo stupid.
yep get the gigabyte. EVERYONE stop giving him ideas, he doesnt have pci-e, graphics cards down here ARE expensive. I already looked through NZ stores and there are no x800's. The 6600GT you chose is good. However if you want better get the leadtek 6600gt on this page - http://www.atech.co.nz/videocards.html
Even though the 6600 GT isn't the best ... it should run all ur stuff fine and I personally think its one of the best deals right now considering the price on newegg and other websites. And yes ... It owns the 5200 by many many miles .
