GCFreak Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 (edited) OK, I'm getting a Graphics card for Christmas, but it's a suprise. I wonder which one it will be. I haven't been in the Gfx card scene in a while so I won't know if it's good or not. I'll tell what one i get on X-Mas day. And when I do, I need you guys at 1Emu to tell me if it's good or not. Currently my GFX is: Chaintech GeForce4 MX 440 64MB AGP4X TV-outIt's horrible, I know. Also, tell me if it will be a bottleneck to my other specs: AMD Athlon XP 2800+ 2GHz w/ Thermaltake Cooling systemCreative SB Live! 5.1 16-bit soundASUS A7V600 Skt A Mobo (BTW, The mobo is AGP8X)LG CD-readerOnboard 3Com Gigabit LOM Network card17" Philips 107S CRT Standard monitor. Thanks,-GCFreak EDIT: RAM: 512MB PC2700PSU: 400W Edited December 22, 2005 by GCFreak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibathedog Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 How much RAM do you have? Your system looks pretty good to me. Id upgrade to a DVD or at least CD burner though, but that doesnt really have anything to do with games running (cept for the fact that alot of games are released on DVD now, so maybe at least a DVD reader?)

Nusumenai Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 nVidia 6600 GT is a very decent card. I dout your system would limit it much (that is assuming you have 1.0GB of ram). nVidia 6800/GT or ATI x800xl could work well too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCFreak Posted December 22, 2005 Author Share Posted December 22, 2005 I have 512MB PC2700 RAM. I can't wait to get my new card. I wanted to get a 6600 GT, but in my country, the prices are outrageous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Jackson Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Speaking of graphics cards how good is the ATI radeon x1300? That what dad got me for my christmas present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCFreak Posted December 24, 2005 Author Share Posted December 24, 2005 Looking at the articles, that's quite a good card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wacko_jacko Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 Speaking of graphics cards how good is the ATI radeon x1300? That what dad got me for my christmas present. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not that good. Actually, quite crap, since the X1300 is prettm much equivalent to the old x300 but with a newer architecture. It'll probably play the latest games fine on a low resolution and/or on the lowest settings. Don't bother trying to enable AA or AF though.

Is that any good?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> The x1300 is bad stay away. The 6200 is bad too- its a decent upgrade from a 4MX, but again low settings / low res for new games.

Agozer Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 To think that some cards are actually crappy in ATI's X series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
