VisionTek HD2600 Pro 512MB DX10 questions

Yep it's on the back of the card. I hope you can get and use it. These newer cards for AGP bring back more playing newer games. And it is a pretty fast card for the price.
 
i think my 240 watt PSU has a 6 pin connector... so i can just go ahead and connect that to my gpu right? i mean after all the card idles at like 31 watts and i went to PSU engine and it said my whole pc would be @ 219 watts at max with load so that means my pc i will be playing css with my 2600 pro and my pc will only be using 219 watts of PSU :) , 240 is peak :)

just read his reply : sup , just checked my 400 watt PSU and it has a 6 pin connector :) not a molex yay :) , now in like 30 mins ima check my 240 watt PSU and see if it has a 6 pin connector.. and if it does ima be happy ! and if it does have a 6 pin connector , i should plug it in my 2600 pro as soon as i get it right?

so just in case if my 240 watt psu doesn't have the 6 pin connector , i still have the adapter that should come with the card right? i am buying my car from best buy for 90 bucks... hopefully it will come with that adapter... either way i am fine because i got my extra PSU covering me , but ima try making game out of my 240.

Most, but not all ATI cards since the 9500 Pro needed extra power (The 9600, 1600 and 1650 series and maybe a few others did not ) mostly they were 4 pin floppy style connectors, but with the introduction of the newer PCI-E cards a 6 pin quickly became standard. Your 400W PSU likely has a 6 pin connector

ya i checked last night and my 400 watt PSU has a 6 pin connector... 240 watt PSU doesn't have it :( ... 2 things i can do now... get the card (high probability i will get it ) , go home install it with the 240 watt PSU and use the 4 pin converted to a 6 pin connector adapter. then hopefully it will work and we will all be happy :)

second thing , i can just install my 400 watt PSU and use the 6 pin connector it already comes with... either way i'm cool yay :)

if the card does work with the 240 watt PSU , it wont like burn anything in my pc overtime right?

no , my pc is a HP Compaq Business Desktop d530 , here is the link where u can look at specs for it , http://h18002.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11632_div/11632_div.HTML , there are 3 types of this pc , mines the best one it's called the " Convertible Minitower "

the whole pc was only 50 bucks from my brothers company and it came with a 19 inch lcd as well.


please help , will the 2600 pro be able to run on my 240 watt PSU? my pc isn't that power intensive.

Plug it in and find out, can't imagine anything bad happening except the thing shutting down or simply not starting. It doesn't require an external power cord on my 512 version so it can't draw too much power.
 
ya thought so dude... because i'm on a 5200 gpu right now and it uses 34 watts and the 2600 pro uses only 31 .. both idling... i am sure the 2600 pro will work :) cant wait till i play css on everything high , hey dude since u have that card can u tell me what fps u get in the games u play and what ur settings are...

i want to play bf2 , oblivion , stalker , tdu and lots more !!!!!
 
dont buy 2600pro wait for hd3850 agp..
 
i have officialy confirmed that the 2600 pro will run on my pc ... here is what the experts have to say..

http://www.amdzone.com/index.php/co.../129-sapphire-radeon-hd-2600-pro-512mb-review

they tested the exact scenario im in , the 2600 pro ran on their 250 cheap PSU... with a slow cpu and slow everything.. css on everything high got 77 fps , even with hdr on full... the thing im happy about is that my cpu is way more stronger than the one in that url...
 
Well go for it!
 
quieter cooler

has anyone found a quieter cooler for the agp hd2600 pro?
card works great but too much noise in a mpc.
 
yes... Thermaletake hr-03 /r600
 
problem with card

I recently bought a 512 MB VisionTek HD2600 Pro Radeon ATi card and installed it successfully in my Gateway E4000 (circa 2002, AGP slot). The system runs on a 500W PSU and has 2GB of RAM. The graphics card requires additional power from the PSU and is plugged into it correctly. Really, everything works fine until I load a game like World of Warcraft. As soon as I start moving my character the whole system shuts down and restarts. The installation CD that came with the card seems to make it clear that the driver doesn't need to be updated, but when I use the VisionTek website I am not allowed to download the latest version of the driver (7.10). So, can anyone offer any assistance? I would greatly appreciate it, thank you! OS- XP home

A 2002 Gateway? I would expect an old tired PSU first, You will need a PSU with at least 20 amps on the +12V rail to be safe. I expect you have a lot less than that, just because you have it plugged in correctly does not mean, the PSU can supply enough juice. Here is a PC Power and Cooling unit that should work.

When you have adequate power you can Download from VisionTek's site or ATI's gaming site, ATI will be a little quicker with the newest drivers (They have 7.11's now)

Edit: I just looked at a couple of E4000's and discovered they made some in small "Desktop" cases and many more in the "Mini-towers" That PSU above will work in the Mini-tower versions, the 'desktop' might require different dimensions

I actually bought a new PSU a few months ago, it isn't the same one that came with the system (that one was 160W). That said, I still have the box for the newer power supply and it says that the max load on the +12V line is 17A, but it has two +12v lines with a combined 34A max. Does this make a difference or is another new PSU needed?
