Graphics Card Question AGP

[t2dex]

Hi All

Just a quick question
I have a Asus P5VDC-MX mobo with Dual Core Pentium D Presler Chip running at 3.71 Ghz with 1Gig RAM and a 550 *** Power Supply. My rig is watercooled temps even under load are 35c.

Looking for an AGP graphics card which will eventually be watercooled also but what is the best card to get.
Seen X1950 512k Cards for £140ish and 7600GS 512 cards for about £100.

What do you think would be the best card to keep my system running fast for games.

Thanx for the help

If your buying from new then X1950 as the 7800GS/GS+ varients still around to buy new are only G70 core and not the the G71 core. 7600 dont bother as the X1950 is worth the few extra notes.

x1950 Pro is the best AGP card, atm, though there are reports of DX10 AGP cards, no ETA though.

As above, x1950pro is the best at the moment, but the rumoured 8 series card for AGP is supposed to be coming around April i think, so that will be the best, thats assuming there is an AGP 8 series card as its all just rumours at the mo.

depends what games. An extra gig of RAM will help with FEAR, BF2, Oblivion and anything released in the last 3 months.
