AGP card advice

[dtsrules]

My son has a p4 3.2 and wants to upgrade the graphics. He plays WoW a lot and needs it to run that as high as possible as his current card (9700pro) is absolutely pants so any recommendations would be gratefully recieved.









Forgot to mention that there is no way his machine can be upgraded apart from the graphics card.

X1950 Pro - all day, every day.

Failing that, a 7600 GT would give his system a good boost.

For WoW surely a second hand 6800GT or X800XT would be enough to run high visuals? It didn't run too shabby on my old integrated GMA950, surprised the 9700 isn't doing so well tbh.

The 9700 is ok'ish when soloing, but as soon as he gets into a raid his framerate drops to 5-7fps which isnt good.

I was thinking that a 1950pro would be overkill for this cpu but im tempted tbh as i have a Asrock core2 board (the agp/pci one) that he could upgrade to when he has more money for a cpu

X1950 pro is pretty cheap & would be agreat upgrade then

x1950pro would be best would the AGP version is about £110 usually. 7600gt is a good card and often overlooked. 7600gt is a bit step up from a 9700 but depends how much you can get one for.

i would recommend either the x1950 Pro, or if you dont have the money, a second hand 7600 would be fine
