Im looking for anything that is under 200$ and it has to be from this website: www.tigerdirect.ca, im sure they have alot of popular video cards. im thinking about this one: MSI GeForce 6600 / 256MB DDR / AGP / DVI / TV Out / Video Card here is the link: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1240060&CatId=0 plz help me pick the right video card. I dont need it for extremely high gaming but I still want something that is good. also which type should I get SLI or AGO or PCI or PCI express? thx alot
pci express is the newest technology. it depends if your mobo will accept it or not. agp is the next best i think, not sure. i think newegg.com will have better prices, unless you have to buy it from the other site. i have the powercolor x800gt and it seems pretty good.
Your mobo is AGP, so the card you are thinking of will work fine or you could try this http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1121824&CatId=0 it's a bit cheaper and better spec & will out perform the vanilla 6600 ...
thx this card looks great: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1121824&CatId=0 but there is no blue port where i can insert my monitor wire into?..scroll down on the webpage and u will see. thx any other suggestions? How about this one:NVIDIA GeForce 6600 / 256MB DDR / AGP 8x / DVI / TV-OUT / Video Card http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1240195&CatId=0
You should get an adaptor with that card if not you should be able to pick one up form most computer shops.
it comes with a adapter for crt moniters,thats a dvi slots but if you go to xfx youll see the adaptor there.buy card,that card is real good.i have a bfg 6800gt.if you want to play games like fear or quake four id save up and get a better card.agp inst as good as pcie but i can still play all new games just have to turn down bells and whistles like med settings.hope this helped
The blue port you refer to is an VGA port the white ports are DVI, as the other guys have said the card will come with an adaptor which will allow you to use your crt monitor with this card ..... the other card you posted is just the same as the first one, still a very good card but like i posted before the 6600GT will perform better and is better spec'd ...
thx but if u look at this: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1121824&Tab=11&NoMapp=0 these guys are saying i need a 450 watt power supply, I think i only have a 300 watt? wow this card has alot of good reviews: XFX GeForce 6600 / 256MB DDR http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1212072&Sku=P450-6600 or http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=578354&CatId=1242 thx
oh i forgot about that.pick up a hiper r 480 power supply.its a module and there pretty cheap,check this site: http://www.hipergroup.com/English/products/hpu-4s480.html check this site out for review the ps is sweet comes in different colors.i have the 580 watt blue one it works great keeps the case clean of wires.upgrading sometimes makes you upgrade a couple of things not just one.upgradeing can get exspensive
Yeah your psu could lead to a few problems with the 6600GT , so if your gonna keep your current psu the the nvidia card you posted will be fine, the 9800pro is a good card and requires a 300w psu so if your psu can handle having some extra load it might not be a bad choice , mind you it's about 20% slower than a 6600GT & $10 more .......
