Check out this beautiful babe:
http://www.gpureview.com/GeForce-880-GTX-card-474.html
sexy, no? :lol:
Direct x 10, shader model 4, 768MB dedicated video ram, 86.4GB/s memory bandwidth, and an utterly ridiculous amount of pipelines! This thing more than triples the performance of the previous top cards! :gah:
(it also costs $50-$800 on newegg :wacko:
) I may need to reserve some funds from next summers working-ness to build a desktop. o.o

i doubt it, but i meant my pc only support normal PCI cards (not PCI-E) so all i could get is a radeon 9250 card (128 MB), there was nothing else avaliable in stores

Yeah, pretty much everything has switched from AGP to PCI-E these days.

hmm... I upgrade every 3 years or so.
But then, I consider it time to upgrade when the newest game either does not run or only runs on low settings on my computers.
Sometimes, however, computers can still be pwning up to 5-6 years and all you need is to upgrade the graphics card and ram.

For those w/ AGP, I wouldnt count on them releasing an AGP card. Consider yourselves lucky that you got a decent one last time.

Ehh, well it was the same the radeon x1950's came out.
They will be cheaper soon trust me.
Graphics cards depreciate in value very very rapidly.

AGP/PCI is discontinued anyway. I seriously have no idea why they installed a normal PCI motherboard in this computer, especially since it's pretty recent (summer 2005), it has no support for PCI express and AGP at all

Hmm well my last two graphics cards have been ATI, (9600xt and now x700) so I think next time I'll give nvidia a shot again.
I'm good for now as I can run all the stuff I want to on high settings, but I have a feeling that won't last very long with dx10 out. o.o
@xlibman:

got some cheap motherboards for $40 and less with AGP. Poke around for one that supports the cpu and stuff you have.
Oh there's even some with PCI-E for $65-ish.

seriously have no idea why you bought a pre-built computer. o.o
