I was on ebay the other day and I found this video card http://cgi.ebay.ca/BFG-TECHNOLOGIES...4QQihZ016QQcategoryZ40161QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem is it a good deal or should i get something else?
not really 'cos... Item Functionality AS-IS - SELLING FOR PARTS AND/OR REPAIR. [bold]ITEM IS NOT WORKING.[/bold] ITEM IS NOT COVERED BY OUR RETURN POLICY. above is quoted from the item listing $89 starting bid for a broken gfx card? i wouldn't
LOL! I bet you're glad he pointed that out! There are cheap video cards to be had on ebay, and a lot of them do work. If you find a very cheap one that works, rather than use it, put it back on ebay and make a profit. If it doesn't work you got conned, that'll teach you! I don't mind the idea of selling something on ebay but buying things like graphics cards? I wouldn't...
I ahve a BFG OC AGP 6800 256MB card I forget what GT,GS means,but the card is soild I cna run prey without any troubles.
Standard = Normal performance version GS, LE = Budget low performance version GT = High performance version GTX/ Ultra = Top of the range performance version Gotta love that signiature Zippy, "NO! THOSE ARE MY NUTS!"
He's Canadian so it's not all that easy to get a good deal. http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2177474&CatId=1826 http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1828833&CatId=1558 http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2183361&CatId=1558 Have a look at those, the first one is the best by far, but the other two are relatively competent GPUs.
Don't forget its not the GPU anymore its the text pipes and ther things on a card that makes or breaks it. A Xtreme 6800 can out do most 7200,7300 and even the lower end 7600's. 0-o TOms hardware has a large Vid card chart comparering their FPSs on newer games.
? I said the 7600 not the X1900, although clearly that's the best. Poor canadian people have to pay almost as much as we do!
The 7600 you mean? LOL ATI's drivers now are much better than they used to be, they do everything I want them to do, and they do actually apply it, so where's the problem?
No jsut the last ATI card I had had if drivers a 9800 all in wonder. and yes the 7800's are 200 more than the 7600
the 9000 series stank sam and those of us daft enough to buy them had instant conversion to nvidia lol but the new ati's are ok prey.................. it runs great on mine unfortunately it seems a bit too good I'm still near the beginning it has the 'farcry' problem if you die then you restart at the last save point wheres the skill? just keep trying till you get past eventually you'll get to the end i never finished farcry either
