 |
|
Have someone that is currently using a 6800GT AGP for first person shooters.
(1GB memory and dual core Intel 820) and looking to upgrading to a newer
graphics card.
And as I know very little about the Nvidia GPUs.
What would be a good (AGP) upgrade for under $200? |

Agreed. BF2 and other games really need 2gb to run fast. It would be monet
better spent.

Don't bother. If it's running a bit slow in Battlefield 2/2142, an
extra 1GB RAM would help.

Is true, if all you have is either enough free cash to go from 1G to 2G
or a GeForce6 AGP to GeForce7 AGP for BF2 and its brethren, the extra
RAM trumps the video card upgrade. For a Poker analogy call it a Four of
a kind vs. a full house. For that game, 2G can't be beat.
While the GF7 series adds what it adds to the IQ equation, the GF6 runs
BF2 well enough at medium resolutions, but that extra 1G of ram allows
the 900M+ memory footprint of the game to fit wholly in system memory
alongside XP, mostly eliminating multiple sound and texture loads which
stutter and muck things up for everyone online....a real drag on 64x
maps for 1G PCs. |
