Best AGP Card

Postby Vagrant » Wed Sep 27, 2006 3:15 am

I played the demo of FSX and noticed that my current graphics card ATI 9550 is not going to cut it with the new verson of flight sim. I do not have a PCI Express port and haven't updated my card in a while so can someone tell what is the best AGP card on the market right now? ATI or Nvidia? What is the price range, not that price is an issue I just need to know how much I will be spending, thanks.

I have an AGP ATI Radeon X850 Pro, its a fabulous card, but I'm not sure if they make it anymore for AGP

disable all the prog in the back ground and then try.

The fastest AGP card is nVIDIA 7800GS. It is around $260.

actually... thats the old G70 core model

the fastest AGP is the 7800GS from Gainward @ 512MB it uses the G71 core with full 24 pipes

same as a 7900GT or GTX just not PCIE

we discussed that in another thread... but it is 450USD and it can only be obtained from europe

I'm running a 256MB BFG Geforce 7800GS OC in AGP and it handles the FSX demo perfectly.  ;)

Ive got a Nividia 7900GT and handles the demo at 15-20 FPS, its slower with the trees and sutch but i expect them to work that out (hopefully) for the full FSX and am hopeing for better performance.
