[H]@RD5TUFFGrunt isn't the issue, it's the bottleneck to the card as, 133 Mb/s is the max of PCI.

i could run two monitors off 64MB onboard video with no issue.

even at 133MB/s, its got more than enough power for 2D and (light) 3D desktop usage.

Onboard being part of chipset and the memory coming from the ram, the bandwidth is far higher than that, of a PCI bus.

Do you know if something like this will be enough to run youtube videos @ 720 or will the pci limit it?

considering youtube (flash, really) defaults to software mode, a wet fart could run it on the video card side of things.

The money people spend on this PCI card could go towards a cheap entry level modern PC that will blow away whatever you can do with that PCI card. PCI is still viable for sound cards, wireless internet cards, etc, but video cards I wouldn't touch. Games like BFBC2 are monsters, so I NEED my sound card running in my PCI lane working to offload CPU cycles. I still have my FX 5500 PCI for an emergency, it added some kick to my old P4 PCI only rig. Had an 8500GT too for a while and that was nice at the time. Thank god for my current PC.

its not a card aimed for any level of gaming. well, facebook maybe.

look at it another way:

this gives a ton of old systems the ability to run more monitors, hardware accelerated flash, HDMI for audio and video, and for a lot less than a new system would cost.

Yeah....but that's not the market for this card. I run a 8400GS PCI card for extra monitor outputs while preserving my PCIe slots for the more important things. This is the market for this card - Creating extra monitor outputs.

Anyone trying to game on this thing is insane.

2D gaming acceleration is all you can literally do with a PCI card, so facebook apps is close with Sims and Diablo II thrown in there.

If you read the Techspot PCI gaming thread, which we both contributed to Yukikaze, there are STILL people wanting to take the easy road and use a PCI card like this one for graphics. The posts I'm reading, they have no tech understanding at all, and the plug and play nature of PC building completely eludes them. That is the point of my post here, there are people seeking to use this other than extra monitor support and they need serious enlightenment.

I was broke as a joke when I was using PCI cards and couldn't afford a modern PC, PCI was all I could do. Always wanted a PC like what I have now and when I got some money for it, that's what I did.

yeah some people even want to be dedicated PCI gamer, just like U2K but thank GOD he come to TPU so he can be cured from that weird disease :p

U2K has taken big strides. Now I'm working on him to stop spending massive amounts of money on mediocre PC parts when the same money can make the most leet PC available.

The hate in this thread is hilarious. There ARE people out there that don't want to drop 4-500 bucks on a new machine and just want a little more grunt out of their old machines. This is the card for them. This card + a new monitor would make a Facebook addict's day. If you care about the bandwidth or FPS, THIS IS NOT FOR YOU.

you used the wrong words.

its not about adding grunt to an old PC - its about adding FEATURES to an old PC.

You know what else gives old systems the ability to run more monitors? More pci cards add another fx5200 into your dell :) if the computer is that old maybe they should skip the hdmi monitor and surround sound reciever and get one of them new fangled computers. I'm sure the wonderful people at bestbuy or dell.com could get them a great package deal with a monitor printer and new computer for around $500.

Or you could get this card and that "package monitor" for $200. $300 is a lot of money to some people; not to mention the time needed to move all of their data to a new machine.

Gotta love the companies that keep older systems in mind with newer products. Pretty cool actually.

but it still cant even run the monitor right i have seen this several times people coming back to a store because they bought a 24" LCD and a 2ghz celeron video card didn't matter it would lag in word

I guess I've just never seen that problem. :laugh:

I'm pretty sure even something from 2000 will have AGP.

Last PCI video card I had was a (WinFast) S3 V868.

Dell and HP were both making systems with no graphics card slots on the mobos up until a few years ago. My HP from 2003 didn't have one.

Enjoy your PCI video card but save for better technology if able, like me.
