With no graphics card??.......

seretide · 15 Mar 2007 at 21:25

i'm sooo tempted to just use this new x1950 i got here and not bother with the bfg 8800, i've never even bought a gfx card before-so the 1950 would prob do me :confused:

I thought you said you didn't have a videocard? The 1950 is a good card.

seretide · 15 Mar 2007 at 21:55

I dont, really!
its still wrapped, i gonna send back to OCUK and pay the xtra for the bfg
but not so sure really

I'm sorry, but am I the only one who's slightly confused here?

Definately send it back and get the 8 series, totally destroys the x1950 XT, plus its a new gen card, x1950's are worthless old tech now.

i know (i think) but how much will i notice? i've never even had a graphics card- i just think it will be ample for my use???

no, no your really not

right, started off as one thread, now confusing...
In a nutshell.......

wanted to know if mobo would display via onboard gfx-NO

and now i'm thinking of opening this x1950 gfx card sat infront of me and using it instead of payin extra cash that i aint got to buy the bfg 8800 gts.

i know about the difference between the cards, but i've never even had a gfx card-just crap on board and has done me ok, so gonna just use the 1950!

DONE

It all depends on what games you want to play and what settings you will play those games at. How long do you want the card to last?

Edward01 · 15 Mar 2007 at 23:26

All of a sudden the fog lifts from my eyes

DON'T DO IT, if your planning on playing games wait till the 8800, it WILL be worth it.

only ever play on Moh or battleield every now and then, not much of a gamer.
Appreciate the input though as always

Cairnsey · 15 Mar 2007 at 23:34

in that case the x1950 will be more than enough just install it and get it going before you have an accident

Edward01 · 15 Mar 2007 at 23:40

ok suppose thats the sensible thing to do. the x1950 should run every present game on max with that system so you should be fine sticking with that.

The x1950 will be fine, more than fine!

Bang it in and have some fun. If you want more in a few months, sell it and get whatever is best value then.
