ATI HD 2600 XT 256MB PCI Express Graphics Card

or

ATI radeon 1600 pro series 512mb AGP (i'm guessing this one)

**Deturbanator** · 09-09-2007, 07:02 PM

what is the slot on ur comp cause one is pci-e and the other is agp

explosions · 09-09-2007, 07:02 PM

Ummm..... do you have an AGP slot or a PCI-E slot?

**Stevetheman** · 09-09-2007, 07:05 PM

i have both, my current graphics card is the AGP one, and i am buying a new computer and it comes with the pci one, i just wanted to know if u should keep the agp one

explosions · 09-09-2007, 07:06 PM

FYI PCI-E > AGP 99% of the time.

**Stevetheman** · 09-09-2007, 07:08 PM

yes but my question is, which one out of those 2 is better

explosions · 09-09-2007, 07:09 PM

The PCI-E one.

**Stevetheman** · 09-09-2007, 07:12 PM

interesting.... even tho that one is 256mb of memory and the other one is 512mb? the 512mb was more money as well i think.

**jetracer** · 09-09-2007, 07:17 PM

pci-e FTW agp is OLD school

that is kinda like asking whats better the ps2 or ps3.

**AzureBlack** · 09-09-2007, 07:20 PM

The memory doesn't matter nearly as much as the clock speed on the card, and since a peice of hardware is only as good as it's slowest component, the slot that it is in matters as well. Go for the the PCI-E, you won't be disappointed.

**Stevetheman** · 09-09-2007, 07:20 PM

ATI radeon 1600 pro series 512mb AGP this thing runs bioshock tho lol alright i'll stick with the pci one. o and ps2 is better :P (haha jokes)

**AzureBlack** · 09-09-2007, 07:23 PM

How's about you try both out and see which one works better for you? You seem to be taking your own opinion into account more than anyone else here.

**Stevetheman** · 09-09-2007, 07:24 PM

true, i think i will just go with the pci one it comes with the new computer i'm buying.
