AGP card upgrade

Postby coreservers » Fri Aug 03, 2007 5:22 am

I've recently upgraded to 3gb ram, and now need to upgrade the graphics card. My motherboard only takes AGP (kinda Skint), so PCI-E is out of teh question. I'm currently using a ge-force 7600gs 256mb, what would be the best AGP to upgrade to??
I'm thinking ATI as they seem to run cooler.
Core 2 Duo E8500 3gb, Gigabyte S-Series mainboard, Sapphire HD5870 Vapor X

AGP Cards are getting very thin on the ground now, but have a peek here...>>>>

Best of luck, and keep flying the AGP flag!... 8-)...!

And you may want to start slow on that increase, then slowly bump it up by 5-10Mhz

Start about 550/670 and bump it up by 5-10Mhz until it is not stable. If you hit 590/700 stop and leave it there
