Graphics card suggestion

[EJMM]

Hi guys, long time no see, anyway, I'm looking for a good graphics card, that can play games like EaW on max without lag, right now, I'm thinking of buying the Radeon 1300, but if I find another one, that isn't too expensive, then I'll buy it, one more thing, It needs to be AGP, well, any thoughts or suggestions?

[Jedi Master Tofu]

I have AGP 4x, and I think something that wold play EaW at max would be something above (mabey) 6800 Series for Nvidia.

 

Good luck.

 

OH NO!!! 666th POST!!!!!!!!!!

well, a friend of mine has a ATI all-in-wonder 9800, and he plays it on max without lag, and as far as I Know, the Radeon 1300 is better than the 9800, so it should play it without lag...

I have an nVidia geforce 7600. It works great, I can play all of my games with graphics on high with no lag or anything like that.

I think I have two of those...

i have a 7600GT(which i have overclocked a bit) and i can play most if not all my games on high with no lag

[Droid803]

Wait, mine are 2x e-geforce 7600GS

Plays everything on high, no lag...then again, I did blow quite a bit of money...

I would go for the geforce 7600gt  i used that and go no lag on eaw with all the seting up high but now i have the 7950gt which i cant set the graphics on high for all old games and most of the newer ones.

[EJMM]

alright, and wich one is better?, the 7600 GS or 7600 GT, or are the same?

[Droid803]

GS are the cheaper ones. GTs are better.

 

Eh, just read this article, it should clear it up:

thats where I learned more lol.

[EJMM]

Thanks for the info, alright, one last question, even the gs is not as fast as the gt, a Geforce 7600GS of 512mb is still capable of playing games like EaW, battlefield 2142, or CoH on the highest settings without lag?, and how will affect gaming that this card has only 128 bit?, what does this means?

Do not get the 7600gs it will perform way worse then the 7600gt so no you will not be able to max any of thos games with a 7600gs.

 

With a 7600gt you will be able to max 2142 and eaw but not coh you will have to spend more money if you want to get that high of peformance.

[EJMM]

but it IS better than the radeon 9800pro, and this one could handle EaW perfectly, so I really don't see the problem, also been searching for reviews and all of them says that it can handle lot of games in high with no lag...

[Controller]

i can max settings on CoH with my 7600GT, so... :-\

[Lord_of_the_Sith]

The latest 7 siries and the new 8 series are the best from Nvidia.

I have a 7300GT 512 MB but it doesn't perform so good even if it has a so high ram.

[Empireftw]

i can max settings on CoH with my 7600GT, so... :-\

 

Hmm well i have never played it although i assumed by the screen shots and what i have heard about it that a 7600gt wouldnt be able to max it ohh well.

[swgbex]

It problably would be able to max it.. Just not at very high resolutions... * Smiles at my X1950xt*

[Controller]

then 1280x1024 is not a high resolution? ;D

[EJMM]

Found the 7600GT but with 256mb, the 7600GS is 512mb, is the GT still far better?

[Empireftw]

Yes it is far better even with less ram.

[EJMM]

Decided then ;D, I'll buy the XFX GeFore 7600 GT 256 mb, hope that with it I can run games with alll settings on max, and no lag Edited June 28, 2007 by EJMM

Those games you should be fine just dont expect to be able to play all the new stuff with all the stuff turned on.
