Ok decided to get a new graphics card.

Can anyone please advice me the best card - currently I have a 9550 GURU and it says AGP 4X. I want someone to recommend a top card AGP card and DDR (no DDR2 etc) and also I dont mind if its Nvidia or ATI

Cheers

Pics of my current and very loyal card.

Yeah... the best of the best AGP card you can get right now is an X1950...
But thats DDR3... so yeah...
IMO, from what your are saying, why not just get a DDR3 card?
strange, if you want a DDR card specifically you should just soft mod yours unlock your pipes and make it a 9700... thats just me. Or get either get a ATI 9800, ATI X800, Nvidia 6800, or Nvidia 7800GS...
Its up to you, how much $$$ you have. Im thinkin that you prolly have one of the best DDR cards you can get... so why not just go DDR3?

Why are you people so concerned regarding DDR3. I don't think my motherboard supports DDR3. And how would one open my pipelines and tune it up to the next thing? You mean overclock it. I have no idea where to start.

Athlon2K15 · Nov 17, 2007

you are upgrading your video card so it has nothing to do with what memory your motherboard supports

overclocknewb07 · Nov 17, 2007

So I can run DDR3?

Athlon2K15 · Nov 17, 2007

you can buy any video card you want as long as its agp

Thinking so much on this. Anyone used it?

Athlon2K15 · Nov 17, 2007

that would work but if u can free up the extra loot look for the XT flavor

overclocknewb07 · Nov 17, 2007

Don't worry about cost.
I want the card to have atleast 256bit, I hate newb websites that offer 512mb cards for like £50 which is around $27 turns out they only 128bit. I want min 256bit. Agp. Anyone please just point some out for us please

Athlon2K15 · Nov 17, 2007

if u want 256bit grab a 7900GS or x1950pro...just noticed this is in the wrong forum should be in GN
