Im on my way to Best but, they have this sale for Black Friday for this card, just wondering if it was any good/worth it. VisionTek 512MB HD 2600 AGP 8x Graphics Card Please let me know what you think, I want to use it for gaming mostly, is it worth the $99 bucks??? And does anyone know how much power it requires from my Power Supply?
NOt even for $100? I have an older system that requires an agp card. Its a P4, 2.5GB memory, and I have a Geforce fx5200, and a 230W PSU now. What do you suggest for my system? I was thinking about about upgrading my PSU as well with a new card, but Im going crazy over what to buy. I need one specifically for gaming. One that supports DirectX 9 or 10, and Shader Model 3.0.
well you will definetly need a new psu, 230 watts is way bare minimum. As I said, a 7800 from nvidia, or a x1950pro will do way better in games than a 2600.
thanks alot! Out of the 3 cards you listed, what would be the better buy for your buck? I know the fastest is the best, but whats the cheapest and still a good card?
The 7600. I'm not sure that they sell that at best buy, but just so you know, nvidias better cards are from the 7600 series and higher (not including the 8 series). The x1950pro is better than the 7600, but I'm not sure what it costs... Overall, 7600 is best bang for your buck.
I looked them up and the x1950 is by Sapphire correct? I heard that that brand of cards suck. Is it true? Do you know how much faster or better the two cards have between them (speed, ram, ect.)?
Are you comparing the x1950 to the 7600? As you can see, the x1950 is better than the 7900, so it is in return, better than a 7600. As for the sapphire thing, I haven't heard anything about that yet...
