    I Need Best AGP

    well according to ATT, my fan is running at 40%. the next increment up is 45% and it won't do that until the temp reaches 70c. :p using scan for artifacts, the gpu temp maxed out at 60c that's quite a bit warmer than yours. however the fan hasn't had to speed up and the temp is still...

    I Need Best AGP

    you mention overclocking? your HIS card has those clocks as stock so what are you on about. yes i realise it's faster than my sapphire but it's not overclocking.... :p given the choice, i'd take the HIS over the sapphire for that reason alone. my point earlier was simply that you don't need a...

    I Need Best AGP

    nowt wrong with my sapphire cooler. i can't hear it and my idle temp is 41c. i must admit i haven't checked for load temps. the card hasn't missed a beat in the 2 weeks i've had it. only issue with the card is that the ram won't overclock. but at stock it's perfect. :)

    Places to buy X1950pro AGP

    heh, you're on mission to have owned every x1950pro agp card in existence. you're doing well so far. :p and i've just seen a post by the guy in charge of pucrhasing @ ocuk. he says they definitely have enough cards to last the whole week at sale prices. :) edit: just to add, a few people...

    I Need Best AGP

    ah well that's those crappy synthetic benchmarks for you. of course it shows poor performance when you're not running your ram 1:1. but back in the world the difference would have been negligible. :p cozumel was right above. old school intel setups can run 4x512mb of ram no problem. infact...

    I Need Best AGP

    ah, you're missing the point here. that fx51 has an integrated memory controller and cannot cope with with 4 sticks of ram at ddr400. a common affliction for all old a64s. i think the newer cores such as venice and san diego are ok but the OPs chip certainly isn't. with more than 2 sticks, it...

    I Need Best AGP

    then why link us to the x1650xt card. we've already let you know the x1950pro is far superior. go for that. i did and i have no regrets. :D

    Need AGP video upgrade

    just to add, you can save yourself money by avoiding 512mb cards in this price range. it's simply a waste. the card will be nowhere near powerful enough to take advantage of it. :)

    Need AGP video upgrade

    try and get a 7600gs if you can. i'm in the UK so have no idea on US pricing but i'm hoping you can find one for 100 bucks. it's a much better card. :)

    I Need Best AGP

    with those specs i'd definitely go for the x1950pro. look out for the HIS models as they have one of the best coolers and are also factory overclocked. avoid visiontek and gecube as these don't even have temp sensors on board. as for 256mb vs 512mb, go for the best you can afford. if money is no...

    I Need Best AGP

    you've lost me. i wasn't replying to the OP when i suggested a new machine. like you say, we still have no specs to work with yet. :) and i really don't think a 6800gt>7600gt upgrade is worth it especially on a p4 2.53ghz. i used to run an xp2500@2.2ghz (faster than a p4 2.53ghz. agreed?) and...

    I Need Best AGP

    not necessarily. i'm pulling 10381 in 05 with my agp rig. and there are plenty of people running these agp cards with overclocked s939 setups too. the funniest i've seen though is someone running one of these agp cards on a conroe rig with one of those asrock dual vsta combo things. what a...

    I Need Best AGP

    avoid 128 bit memory. and quantity isn't everything either. :p if you insist on the best then what you want is an x1950pro. what's the rest of your specs?

    x1950 Pro AGP: ATi throws AGP a bone

    2.7ghz is my max. fine for benchmarking but it takes silly volts to get there - 1.55v (stock is 1.35v) and it's still not fully stable. but that's probably down to the puny cooler that comes with the ct479 adapter i'm using. i run @ 2.6ghz 24/7 as that only need needs 1.45v and is 18hour sp2004...
