Hi,

A friend of mine has the following rig : Pentium 4 3.2 / 2 gig ram / an agp nvidia geforce 2.

What would be the best agp card out there. His budget is around £100 and the card must have hdmi.

I found this, so would that be the best he could expect?

Woops, no hdmi though.


Thanks.

You could buy any card with a dvi out and use a dvi to hdmi adaptor which costs like a couple of quid.

What is he going to be using it for?

Sorry, meant to say that he'll also be using it for some light to moderate gaming, hopefully.

arc@css, I sent you an e-mail in Trust.

 

[arc@css]

Anyone?

 

[HW91]

3650 or 3850 if you can find one

 

[arc@css]

The 4650 would be better than the ones above, no?

 

[Mr Krugga]

Anyone?

Did you get my email?

 

[arc@css]

Unfortunately not.

 

[Mr Krugga]

Oh ****, that was a long e-mail.

I linked you to Radeon 4670 and GeForce 7800 GS - the two best cards for AGP 8x.

I also have a 7300GT in an old rig that is roughly equivalent to GeForce 7600GS (I also have one of these but for PCI-E).

3850 and 4670 are the agp kings, you can find them if you look around The 4650 is crippled by its ddr2 memory

 

[arc@css]

Ok, thanks guys. Will look for one of those instead. Thanks for the help.

Sorry, my mistake. Did get it, checked the wrong email account, lol. Thanks for the email m8. Appreciate it.

At what point would the P4 bottleneck?

 

[Cycrow]

i doubt u'll be able to find an AGP card with HDMI on.

an DVI - HDMI convertor works just as well thou
