hello everyone,
just wondering, which graphics card is better, an Intel82865G Graphics Controller (card) or a Radeon 7000 card? i know the radeon is a bit out of date but its still a radeon,right?

**PeterBryant** · 11-05-2006, 07:13 AM

they are both good but a bit old

**nosushi4you** · 11-05-2006, 07:51 AM

really? which one would you recomend using?

**KKlicK** · 11-05-2006, 09:15 AM

Don't listen to PeterByrant.

They're both old. What do you need the GPU for? Provide us with a little detail on what it's going to be used for.

**nosushi4you** · 11-05-2006, 09:31 AM

i want to play the MMORPG Savage. i want to know wich card i should use. im slanting towards the radeon one. am i right?

**KKlicK** · 11-05-2006, 10:40 AM

Your better off just throwing a bit of money around to get a decent one.

**El Diablo** · 11-05-2006, 10:43 AM

how much money do you have to spend?

**nosushi4you** · 11-05-2006, 12:13 PM

around 55-60$? can i get a decent one from that?
-= Double Post =-
i was thinking Ebay. lol. i just dont wanna spend too much.
-= Double Post =-
yea ive decided to buy a new one on ebay, but i need to know what one to buy. any good suggestions? i need one that will last for a while.

**Mast3r_Shak3** · 11-05-2006, 12:16 PM

You're gonna need to spend around 100 bucks to get a half-decent one, so save up some more cash.

And by last a while I assume you mean not upgrading for a long time to keep up with graphical demands of games, if that's the case you will need a higher budget.

**twelve** · 11-05-2006, 12:18 PM

You should be able to get a Radeon 9250 or a Geforce FX5200 for that sort of price. They're both quite old now but would be better for you than the two in your first post.

**El Diablo** · 11-05-2006, 12:22 PM

iu would recomend save up a lil more and buy a raedon x850xt. thats what i have and they are great cards. can run every game perfectly, an dmost on high settings. not sure how much you can find it for on ebay, but its worth the price on newegg or some other place

**Mast3r_Shak3** · 11-05-2006, 12:24 PM

and didn't nvidia just come out with a new card?

**Campbell** · 11-05-2006, 12:36 PM

7950gtx2 FTW.

**nosushi4you** · 11-05-2006, 12:45 PM

whats a good radeon or grforce card i can get for like 70$ cause i could probably find it cheaper on ebay?

**Mast3r_Shak3** · 11-05-2006, 12:46 PM

Why don't you just save up some more money? It'll be worth it. And check page one... Mal posted a couple you could get.

**nosushi4you** · 11-05-2006, 01:00 PM

http://cgi.ebay.com/GeForce-MX-4000-...QQcmdZViewItem anyone know is this is a decent one?

It WAS a good card. For your price range the two I posted earlier would be better. The Radeon 9250 or Geforce FX5200. If your lucky you might be able to get a Radeon 9550 or a Geforce FX5700, they may be slightly out of your price range tho.

I got a radeon x800gto. And luckily it was one with an intact R480 core so I flashed it with x850xt bios and now it runs as one on all 16 pipelines

**nosushi4you** · 11-05-2006, 01:25 PM

which is better a Geforce 4MX420 or a Geforce FX5700 or a Geforce 6? cos i found a geforce 6 on ebay.

by the way guys, thanks so much for all your help.

**GmDude66** · 11-05-2006, 03:43 PM

Here, I found a GeForce 6200 for you for only $49.99

http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/XFX-G...oductDetail.do

That's a dam good deal for that card..
It's clock's are higher than the GeForce 6500

256mb RAM
533mhz

You must have an AGP slot though, but most motherboards do

**nosushi4you** · 11-06-2006, 07:30 AM

does anyone know of a good geforece card? whats the latest version out right now?
-= Double Post =-
is the radeon x1600 pro a good card cause it looks really good and its only like 50$ on ebay?

**Ciaran_** · 11-06-2006, 07:42 AM

Whats the specs of the rest of your PC?

Have you checked if you even have an AGP slot yet, you're not going to get a good graphics card if you don't.

**nosushi4you** · 11-06-2006, 09:09 AM

im pretty sure my comp has one. how do you check? heres my specs: Pentium 4 CPU 2.66 GHz, 512 MB of RAM. its a DELL Dimension WINDOWS XP Home Computer. thats pretty good right?

**Ciaran_** · 11-06-2006, 09:14 AM

You will need to open it up to see if you have one. http://www.benchmark.co.yu/tests/mai...s/a7ve/agp.jpg

Your specs are ok but even if you spent huge amounts on a graphics card you still won't be playing the latest games at the highest settings.

**nosushi4you** · 11-06-2006, 10:04 AM

whats wrong with my specs? i thought that pentium 4 was the latest one out there?

**Ciaran_** · 11-06-2006, 10:29 AM

The Pentium 4 has been around for over 6 years now and the top spec ones run at 3.8Ghz now. Also 512mb isn't enough ram for modern game at top settings.

**nosushi4you** · 11-06-2006, 10:40 AM

anyway i would be able to update it? and i dont wanna play the newest games, i just wanna play a few MMORPGs. and they are free so they cant have thatgood graphics. i need something with openGL2 or higher.

**Mast3r_Shak3** · 11-06-2006, 02:22 PM

The best processor nowadays it Core2Duo (Intel) or the FX-64 (AMD)... You can upgrade it... but if you want that, and a new GFX card then you will need to have a lot more money to spend, and there have been like 10 posts with good deals of GFX cards and you seem to ignore them...

**nosushi4you** · 11-06-2006, 02:25 PM

no im not ignoring them, im just seeing what my options are. thanks everyone for all your help!

I hope you read that ^^
That is seriously a great deal.

**I Bent My Wookie** · 11-08-2006, 05:49 PM

trust me, that geforce 6200 can pack enough punch for anything. i have it on a spare comp and it can run cs:source, WoW, cod2 and full settings and oblivion at low-mid settings
