Well finally after begging like a hungry homeless guy for months,ive finally got a graphics card.The Geforce FX 5200.Now i just need a good computer game2play.any1 got any recommendations? :01:

[colt45joe]

thats what i have, only cost around 70 buck..so i dunno, i was expecting you to say you got the top of the line video card (whatever that name is)

[S!X]

lol its a pretty good basic card.. wat more could you want because if you get a 250MB card you aint gonna use it to its full potential ;) (unless ur a crazy bastard or somethin :lol: )

[mike45450]

You just wasted your money. I&#39;ve got it and it completely sucks major ass. It handles like a friggin 32mb (recently on ET i get 20-40 FPS tops...) and it just sucks.

Word of advice - don&#39;t install the new drivers. They cause ur computer to lock up all the time, stick with the 46.xx or sumthing round that area.

5200 sucks arse :D

If your motherboard doesnt have an AGp slot then i highly doubt that the rest of your pc will play newer games, fine your graphics card might be able to but your ram or cpu is likly to be as old as you.

Well i jsut got it this yr.Its a gateway 310XL,heres teh specs:
Windows XP home
512MB RAM
Lite-on DVD burner
Gateway Cd-rw burner(i got a gateway dvd drive in my closet)
Pentium 4 CPU 2.60GHz

I knew it was too good2b tru for the price we paid.i guess the mobo is cheap. :(

But would u consider ^ good?i think it is :D

[Peerzy]

My pentium 2 333Mhz with 32mb of ram and 4mb graphics card has 2X AGP slot i find it extreamly hard that a mobo with a 8X AGP is only what £20 these days, did you get this off the blackmarket or did a child build it <_< ?

[masterpiece21]

Hell i bought it str8 from gateway&#33;so its a piece of crap? :( O well its better than my old compaq ME edition comp :P

That it does, but im not going to lie and say its a great card. :rolleyes:

[Titus808]

everyone buy a 9800 now, they&#39;re getting cheap as dirt and they still rock some serious ass...especially my allinwonder pro B).

[RGX]

Yup, 9800&#39;s are still great cards...still fast with high details and AA / AF in most games, same with the 9700s.

[Peerzy]

Im getting a 9800 pro for my new 64bit pc, only what £130 from ebuyer (not inc vat and shipping and crap)

[Dray_04]

yup i play Colin mcRae 04 with a radeon 9800 pro on 1600 x 1200 with 6AF (or is it 6x AA)

one or the other.

woot ;)

yeah i got that all maxed + media player in the background B).


colin mcrae demands very little of your system though, If that were NFSU, then that would be a feat.

[Monkeee]

:blink: wait ya guys i&#39;m getting a new computer soon. what graphics card would you reccomend? :blink: i have a G-forcce fx 5200 and i always that was good enough. :helpsmile:

[Titus808]

how much cash are you working with?? I mean I would recommend an x800xt, but thats 500 bucks, if you&#39;re talking about 1 grand overall, I would recommend 9800 allinwonder pro, or XT, personally I had the choice, and I went for AIW, the TV on your pc is perfectomundo, so are all the other connection options you get, I&#39;ve used everyone of them (except HDTV, i&#39;m poor <_<)

www.newegg.com <---get all your crap from here

I would recommend AMD 64 3200 + ASUS K8V SE deluxe (best asswhooping to price ratio) B)

[Twist3r]

yeah, the 9800 pro is what Im saving up for. :D

The All In Wonder cards have too much stuff that I wouldn&#39;t use so Im just going to get the pro. :D


btw if you bought your PC this year it has to have AGP slot, AGP slots look very similar to PCI slots :)

i have a pc i bought in 1998 and it has a AGP slot :lol:
