Graphic card options, ASRock 775Dual-VSTA

[StuartT]

Hi,

Need some help deciding on what graphic card I can upgrade to with the above motherboard.
Currently I'm running with a 7800GS AGP. What are my PCI-E and AGP options? This will be the last upgrade on this mb before I upgrade it.
ATI offer a 4670 AGP, will this one just plug in a go? what about any of the new Nvidia ones say the GTS250?

This pc is used as a second machine, for EVE online.

Thanks very much

OK with 31 views and no replys, does this mean no one has done this upgrade?

Would a ATI 4670 AGP card work? is there any reason for it not to work?

Someone must have tried this?

Many thanks

If your mobo is AGP you got to get an AGP card.

What is the rest of your rig?

Given your motherboard has both AGP and PCIe, use the PCIe slot and bin AGP off. That way you can use whatever card you get now in your next build.

Hello,

Yes getting a PCI-E card is the obvious thing to do, but I thought there was a problem with this motherboard using a PCI-E 2.0 card? or am I mistaken here??
