PCI Graphic Cards

[SuperScript]

Does anyone know of any PCI graphic cards besides the Radeon 9200SE and the GeForce FX5200?

[lynx]

There are plenty of cards that are older than those, but I assume you mean higher spec. If so, I'm pretty sure the answer is no.

Someone asked the same question in the last couple of weeks, and I couldn't find anything better than the two you've mentioned.

i think lynx is right, there arnt any better than that.......

what do you need it for?

5700LE is currently the best pci card out there...unless there is one higher (doubt it), bestbuy/newegg has it for around 150. 150=decent motherboard that has 8xagp($60) + radeon 9600 (around 80)

early Xmas present.... getting this wed, gotta have something to run my chrissy presents with

intel pci express board 915GEV
1 GB DDR2 533 RAM
3.4GHZ
nvidia pci express 6600 128mb <--- best card out there ;)
for some "mild" gaming too

(couldn't find the 256 in time, but looking at the bench marks, the 128 will do just fine)

But a 5700LE is basically an updated 5200 (faster ramdac, GL1.5 c/f GL1.4) so it depends whether you think the extra $20 is worthwhile.

Member number two in this thread that confuses PCI with PCI express. I can see that they made a mistake naming it that. I think Express Graphics Port or EGP would have been a better name.

About this thread... I think that you should consider replacing the motherboard. It would cost almost the same but offers more potential for later upgrades.

no i mean why does it have to be a PCI video card?
cause if your mobo doesnt have an AGP port you cant really play any games on it anymore anyway..........

im sure he'll appreciate your help.

@lynx, if you take a closer look, the bloody monster is a 5700LE even though it's in 5700 section.

Oh sorry guys. :( I just thought you meant PCI in general.

[Virtualbody1234]

Yes and PCI in general isn't PCI Express. :dry:

[whiterook-2]

agreed... PCI Express should be changed to another name...too much room for error/confusion.... "EGP" works, make it happen.
