Fastest Nvidia Card using PCI

[choppedliver]

I know this is an ancient interface, ( pci ) but what would be the fastest Nvidia based card if I wanted to put one in a PCI slot ?

Im looking at newegg here http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010380048%201305520548%201069609642&bop=And&Order=RATING

Not for gaming, only for driving additional monitors

well you asked for the fastest so we assumed you meant for gaming.

 

[needmorecarnitine]

maybe he types really fast and doesn't want the card to cause any input lag

Holy crap, someone uses PCI for gaming? And I thought AGP was old tech 0.o

Props.

~Gooda~

Op said it was for driving more monitors. As such something a little cheaper like http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161011 would prolly be more than fine for his needs. $30.

I would be willing to bet it would play Q3 just fine.

 

[MrGuvernment]

if your only using it for monitors, you dont need afast card, get some cheap one as said above.

Even the 8500gt is gimped in PCI form.

I'm not recommending it, just answering the O.P.'s question.

I have a low profile version of that card... DX7 power (can't do Aero)

I have one in my FS thread I'm selling for $15 shipped...

Hey, I remember installing one to get full 8bit color, well, @ or below 640x200 any way.




Oh, God........I'm ancient.

You win, where would you like the Bengay, Ensure, and Depends shipped to.

I ran a BFG 6200OC PCI card and I thought it ran pretty good. Ran even Crysis at the lowest res all low on a dinosaur Dell computer.

Ebay's got a couple for $39 + $5 shipping or Newegg $69.99 + ship.

 

[Negative Decibel]

me too. but isn't ISA older than VLB? I know I'm starting to get older and all, but ISA was just 16-bit, and VLB was 32-bit, right?

FWIW I have the sparkle 8500GT card it was installed in my dualcore atom build, I however took it out becasue it seemed like there was alot of 2d lag, everything felt and looked sluggish (screen redrawing, ect, video playback was fine) I took it out and went back to the intel graphics and the sluggishness went away. Not sure if it is a driver issue or not, i'll be building a phenom system within the next week and i'm going to try the card again to see if its the issue.

EDIT: ISA might be older... My bad.
