Every four wheeled car outside would be a ripoff of the first one then. You can't stay original, and the Crossfire system is completely different compared to SLI.The Gravedigger wrote:One thing though, haven't you all realised that ATI always waits to see what nVidia brings out (eg SLI.... then a few months later ATI brings out Crossfire )

It's faster than the 7800GTX. ATi had problems with production and they still have, same with the first X series.
i have the very latest drivers for every bit of hardware on my computer and my card runs fine with driect x 7 and 8, but when i run the driect3d test and it gets to 9 it sputters a little bit the resumes normally. i am also wondering if me not having Windows XP Service Pack 2 on my computer has something to do with it.

Mark = manufacturer?
Manufacturer doesn't really matter imo.
And what kind of a price you were thinking about?
If you want a cheap and a really powerfull card i would choose the GeForce 6600GT.
You can get them for about 150€ / $.
But if you're really rich i would get the GeForce 7800GT.
They cost about 3 times as much as the 6600GT but it's about the best card out there.
Of course there are a couple of models of the 7800 that are "better" but the differences are really small.
Hope this helps.

Ok I need some advice.
I don't really know anything about video cards, and all I want is a really cheap 128mb AGP card.
By cheap, I mean like AU$50 / 30 Euro / US$38. I am willing to by second hand as well.
So could anyone tell what is the best of the worst? Or does anyone have an old card they want to sell?

Yeah spot on . . .The Gravedigger wrote:let me guess... you typed in "video cards"?
no luck with that
I realised that I need to type in graphics cards, but I still don't know what's good and what isn't. I think that 9200SE's are crap . . . but that is the extent of my video card knowledge.
Edit: oh and does it matter if i get ATI or nVidia?
