buying now.. which graphic card?

Thanks for the input guys. Just wondering.. will this 8x work on a motherboard that has 4x? I plan on upgrading within 3 months.

Thanks in advance.
 
Yeah it will work :) No video cards even use the full bandwith provided by 8x agp bandwith spec yet anyway :D
 
Both of the cards you linked to are a step backwards from your 8500.
 
I would suggest get an nVidia ti4200. They should go for under $100 now.
 
Get another 8500 or an Nvidia Ti4xxx series. The 9600SE boasts DX9, but it's hampered by a 64-bit memory bus, not really that great. Or pony up an extra $10 for a Sapphire Radeon 9600 non-pro with the 128-bit memory bus.
 
both cards are nearly indenitcle to the one yyou have dont wast your time, they are your card renamed and without active cooling


get a 9600xt when you have the money
 
9200s are renamed 8500s, if I remember right, so that would probably be a bad idea. Probably the best idea is save until you have $150 for a 9600xt or $210 for a 9800 pro.
 
^^^^ I agree with him save the extra 100.00 and get the 9800pro you will be glad you did
 
9800 pro or 5900 and flash it. both are good i have the 5900 flashed no artifacts either :p . but get a 9600 XT if your wanting to save some cash
 
The Ti4200 is a fabulous card however the 9600xt offers higher performance and DX9 support. ITs over..............time to retire the 4200 or perhaps you have not enjoyed a dx 9 title yet? Breathtaking to say the least.

If your an Nvida fan they provide such cards as well.The advent of DX 9 games is upon us. ANyone getting a new card shoud be looking at cards that are DX9 compliant wether Nvidia or ATI bases.

Failure to do so would be a travesty given the unbelievable jump in realism afforded by a truely DX 9 title like Far cry for example
