Hi Guys,

I am wanting to purchase a AGP Video card fairly soon. Probably in November.
Now my question is will i be able to play Battle of middle earth 2, Need for speed carbon, AOE3, warcraft 3, these type of games smoothly at 1680X1050 with the following specs:

P4 2.8C
Abit IS7-E
256X2 DDR RAM (512MB)
Maxtor 10K II SCSI HD's
BFG Geforce FX 5900 AGP

I will be upgrading the video card to a better one but cant decide, X800XT,7600GT,X800PRO,6800GT.

Reason for me not getting a whole new system is because i am not a frequent gamer and i will wait for DX10 to come out and settle down and i will get a whole new system.

Cheers,
Kenn.
 
Thanks for the info:)

Should i be concern that the x800 series doesn't have SM3.0?

Cheers,
Kenn.

It's loud and consumes too much power, hehe. But it performs great.

Thanks :)

Will a 7600GT easily outperform the 6800GT? Both AGP of course.

Cheers,
Kenn.
 
I wouldn't say easily, but it should at least be on par with it.
 
Hi,

Thanks again for the info. Just trying to decide whether to buy a 6800GT or a 7600GT?:)

Regards,
Kenn.
 
Of the two, i'd go with the 7600GT. It draws less power and is not so loud.

Thanks:) Actually i don't really mind on power usage and noise but more on performance...But i suppose 7600GT outperforms the 6800GT anyways?
