Nope, I built my first and only computer a year ago and no one told me that PCI-E was becoming the prevalant interface. I'm stuck with my mobo, I can't change though. It sucks.R3v4n wrote:

I'll just say: OUCH. AGP is like, what, nearly 10 years old???haffeysucks wrote:

sweet, I'm hoping my new 7600 GS will run BF2 on High with around 40-50 FPS. If higher, I'll be very happy. I have found XFX to be a good company, so I'm sticking with them.URE_DED wrote:

I just threw a BFG 7600 GT into my vanilla Dell and she's now BF2 worthy.
Um I don't think AGP in itself but my XFX card seems to require a pretty strong power source (450 or 480 watts I think).SnobbyBoss wrote:

He has AGP.J3ST3R wrote:

Guys, also: DirectX 10 is right around the corner. That's the only reason I got the 7600 GT (for just $115, thanks Newegg...) over the 7900 GT (which is about $250 online).Uberge wrote:

only if he has crappy socket 754, if he already has 939 he will be fine with jus a mobo. Oh and i just bought a 7800 GS CO and what a peice of shit, i bumped up from a 9800 pro and i get more chop with this new card on the same settings..all though it is a EVGA im not sure about the BFG but im guessing its all nvidia thats garbage..if ur gonna spend some money and go PCI-E ATI 1900xtx is only about $370 and its still kicks any high end Nvidia card out there, with exception to the 7950 but hey if u wanna cook some eggs and game at the same time go NVIDIA, it will have ur eggs and ur system scrambled in no time....MECtallica wrote:

Well not really, i have had 3 of each card since i started gaming and the latest one was Nvidia..and concidering i work in a computer store and we sell both brands of cards i see alot of them come and go, We sell ASUS, Evga, BFG we jus got...and since the 7800/7900 series ive seen cards come back with heatsinks fallen off..after 3 days...a few DOA cards, TONS of heat complaints even with good cooling, and just some really fked up graphics in games, even our tech has a 7950 and he regrets buying it, cause he always runs benchmarks and tests the newest ATI cards, and can see how much better the ATI cards will preform...they will get pretty hot to without sufficent cooling, but all and all 50 Nvidia cards with problems compared to like 5 with ATI...kinda scary, im glad i got a 1900xtx on order.haffeysucks wrote:
