Best AGP graphic card?

[TcM]

Ok I have my mobo that supports only PCI and AGP, and I'm planning to upgrade my AGP gfx card. What is the best gfx card I can get, that works with my mobo? The AGP port is DDR.

What Chipset is your mobo?

[TcM]

Micro-star International VIA PT880 Neo-V. 8237 Chipset Based.

I hope that was enough info.

Thanks.

If your monitor has DVI Input, go with this video card Otherwise, go with this video card I myself am a fan of NVIDIA. So if you like Radeon more, go with the first. If you like NVIDIA, go with the second. Very good ones. I like em. Very affordable. Cause I too have AGP. But its a dying technology...

I stick with NVIDIA! I hate Radeon for some reasons, my current one is a Radeon, and that's why I'm changing.

I can see that's a DDR3.. but my current video card is a normal DDR. I doubt this will work...

[Tsarj]

It works fine. You can research it some if you want. But I am 99% sure it will work.

Even though it is DDR3? If yes, I would definitely but that.. I was looking at 7800 (or something like that) but the 7900 looks better.. if DDR3 works with my mobo.

The memory use on the graphics card has no bearing on the rest of your system. As long as the card uses the same interface as your machine has it will work (assuming you have sufficient power, cooling, etc).

BTW did you read the pros and cons of users? the card started to die in few months!

[Tsarj]

No, I overlooked that... Good call. I like my PNY 6800. Quiet. Powerful. Stable. It's all right. But the ASUS makes good equipment. Check out the ASUS NVIDIA 7600GS. It's pretty sweet.
