Shopping for Cards

[Johnny5]

Anyone know where to get gainward cards in the us? Im looking for the 7800GS+ AGP and could only find them on a germany website. Im also looking for the 2600agp cards. I tried ebay and that didnt fetch much...

Thats gonna be a hard find here in the U.S. Gainward cards are mostly marketed and sold overseas. You might look into E-Bay UK or something similar to offset the cost due to shipping from overseas.

I don't believe anyone has officialy released an AGP version of the HD2000 series as of yet!? I know they are in the plans of a few companies but I don't think any are available retail atm.

Nice find. I just did a quick search on newegg, zipzoomfly and allstarshop when I posted earlier and they didn't have any. Normaly, if it's available, one of those three would have it in stock by now. Guess not... :ohwell:

The 512MB HiS HD2600PRO @ OZDirect (http://ozdirect.com/product_info.php%3Fproducts_id%3D36564%26currency% 3DUSD%26language%3Den&fr=APtPDOP26FfHXTLvC0YmL7PWemMWFMZL4QAAAAAAAAAA&gl=us&hl=en) for $120 seems like a fair deal. I have no experience with that particular company though and I can't seem to get to the product link atm as it keeps sending me to a page not found error.

I havent seen any these cards for sell on a US website yet and 40 euro to ship to me seems a lot..

im thinking a 7950 with a zalman cooler should be fine...

what about the x1950pro ? in agp or are you wanting dx10 agp ?

[Batou1986]

1950xt agp is hands down the fastest card your gonna get for agp yea teh HD2xxx and the Geforce 8 series cards support dx10
but who are we kidding your agp computer prob don't have vista or the performance worth making it dx10 compatible

i run vista play stuffs like halo2 2142 bf2 maxed the bioshock demo no problem with my 1950xt only problem is it runs kinda hot but i guess all 19xx series cards do

if you can spend the cash its worth it, will hold you off till pci-e 2 comes out and we see some dx10 cards that can really max games like crysis ut3 ect as i am betting on the current gen dx10 cards not living up to the hype especially not with AA or widescreen resolutions like 1680x1050 and higher
