Need new Graphics Card

[Wasted]

Mine is lame, it's Matrox, stfu, I need a new one.

Less than £30, ideas now please. With linx.

Cheaper is better.

If not, what should I be looking for.

Do you need PCI-E or AGP?

Do you want it for just general usage or for gaming?

[Wasted]

I'd like to say general use but lately I just surf a little, play DX and use MSN.

On this computer anyway.

Whats the difference?

'Do you need PCI-E or AGP?'

Wut

Just how old is your computer? If it's like few years old now, it uses AGP. General use and playing DX, Nvidia 7xxx series is good enough

[Tantalus]

It's the motherboard connection type. We HAVE to know.

How old is this computer exactly? That'll give easy indication.

Exactly

[clyzm]

8400 GT Silent

if AGP, anything above GeForce 6 series.

[Tantalus]

I predict Graphics War.

[clyzm]

Radeon's alright too I guess.

You can buy a 4830 on eBay for about $50

[Siva]

Are you SURE you meant 4830?

[Tantalus]

We're jumping ahead of ourselves here.

I'll reinstate. How old is your computer, Geigh?

[Wasted]

Who you calling geigh?

[Wasted]

Old Computer by the way, yes

I think

It aint new

How new would it need to be to be the new one?

If I get warned for Double Post I think I'm banned so act quickly

[Tantalus]

If it's been purchased within probably 4 years you have PCI-E but anything after is mostly AGP.

[Alex]

You can always try to get a monkey that draws pictures really fast.


And I'd indeed go for the 8400 series, of nVidia.

'Asus EN8400GS/HTP/256M' apparently is able to play Call of Duty 4, on low/medium. (PCI-e)

[Wasted]

AGP then

What now, what you recommending.

What Sike said or what Protocol said

Eh

Quick I just flamed Psychotic

[Tantalus]

Quick, stop baiting.

I'd probably go for a 7 series then. Any will do.

[Alex]

If you want to be sure, you can always open your PC, and look for the slots:


AGP slot:

(The brown one)

PCI-e slot:


The white slots are PCI slots.


You can also consider to get a PCI graphics card. I actually have 2 graphic cards in my PC, one PCI-e and one PCI.
8600GT and 8500GT. Both run fine.

First: PCI-e
Second: PCI-e
Third: PCI-e
Fourth: PCI-e
Fifth: PCI-e


All PCI-e. People concluded that you don't have a PCI-e slot. Thus you can't use those.

Try opening your PC (Unplug the power!) and check for available slots on your motherboard.

[Wasted]

You could've simply said

'I don't like any of those'

'They're all great but personally <whatever>'

'You're an amazing person but one problem is that <whatever>'

But no

You go and make me feel silly

fu alex

gimme link to good card 4 me assuming i have the shit thing that isnt new

[Alex]

I'd check if you have PCI-e or not. Hell, maybe you don't even have AGP.

Eventually you will have to open your PC, just to stick in the graphics card. So why not check now?

Also, if it's a PC from a brand like HP etc, just give us the model name, then we can look up what slots it has

[Wasted]

Its Compaq

It says this on it

D31m/P266/40/k/256r UK

Enjoy

[~DJ~]

There is no slot in my motherboard???

HAX

[clyzm]

Are you SURE you meant 4830?

A new 4830 from Sapphire is $99.

Used is $50 and lower.

[clyzm]

By the way, if you have an AGP slot, best I could find for you is

Though don't expect to play Crysis on full settings with it lol.

Edit:

Googled your Compaq, came up with this (closest):
http://www.ambry.com/page/modelnu/47003 ... 2-001.html

If its close to that, then it definitely has an AGP slot.

[Mr. Tastix]

WTF is the difference between PCI-e and PCI?

[clyzm]

Faster transfer rate I think.
