Which is the best agp video card for HW T&L (Hardware accelerated Transform & Lighting) games ?

I would go for the XfX 7900 Nvidia card - That's what I've got|||Currently. There are now AGP versions of the ATI Radeon 2400 and 2600. Try looking about it on the internet. :)|||nvida at lease 7200

Whats the best AGP video card on the market?

The best AGP video card is the Radeon HD 3850, which has practically disappeared from retail channels. The Radeon HD 4670 has almost identical performance and is the best card that's readily available.



However, for computers with AGP slots the best course of action is usually a motherboard upgrade (or new computer, since most systems with AGP slots have weak CPUs by today's standards).



For the cost of an AGP Radeon 4670, you could buy a motherboard with a PCI-Express x16 slot along with a PCI-E version of the 4670 which performs better. Having a PCI-Express x16 slot also means better cards like the GeForce GT240, Radeon 5670, GTS 450 etc become options.



Of course if you have a brand-name computer like Dell or HP, then a motherboard upgrade isn't possible without buying a new copy of Windows.



Anyway, the Radeon 3850 if you can find one, or the 4670... those are the two best AGP cards. Nvidia abandoned the AGP market years ago and doesn't have anything comparable. None of their series 8 or later GeForce cards were ever manufactured in AGP.|||hi mate

allthough the agp bus has largely been replaced by the pci-express x16 bus there are still some agp cards around and these are mainly radeon based cards

the best current agp card is the "Sapphire ATi Radeon HD 3850 512MB GDDR3 AGP DVI Retail Graphics Card"( http://www.pcupgrade.co.uk/productdetail… ) which is based around a 256bit memory interface and 512mb of gddr3 memory clocked at 1650mhz ddr effective..... theres also a 650mhz core clock and 640 stream processors..... it also supports direct x 10.1 and pixel and shader model 4.1

in terms of performance its a pretty good card... i owned the same card around 3 years ago and it would run all the games i ran ..... even running crysis it managed a 23fps frame rate running on medium...( 1280x1024 )

another popular agp card is the "HIS ATI Radeon HD 4670 ICEQ 1024MB DDR3 HDMI AGP Graphics Card"( http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduc… ) ... however this uses a 128bit memory interface which does affect the performance at higher resolutions... however its 750mhz core clock and 1gb of gddr3 memory clocked at 1600mhz makes this a capable card that will run modern games at decent detail

however if possible i would still go with the Sapphire ATi Radeon HD 3850 mainly due to the superior 256bit memory interface,however you do need a 450w power supply with 24A on the +12v rail ....

there are other agp cards such as the geforce 6200 and radeon HD4350 however these are pretty slow and are not ideal for gaming...

i hope this helps,any problems let me know

good luck mate !|||This one has the most muscle out of anything.

If you're trying to bring life back to an old system, a new video card should do the trick. However, can you post what kind of processor you have? Some processors may limit the potential of some video cards. And make sure youre power supply can handle the power hungry 3850.



Personal experience: I knew my old AGP desktop couldn't handle a powerful new card, and since my old Pentium 4 3ghz was outdated anyway (a single core just doesn't cut it anymore), I just got a whole new system. If you don't game, they work fine (my 7 year old Radeon 9800 XT beats the living **** out of modern intel graphics), but if you do game, you probably could use a new system.|||They still make AGP video cards, but it might be time to consider upgrading your computer. This is the best one I can find and it's not to expensive! Good Luck!

Best 8x AGP Video Card?

I'm looking to upgrade an old machine to the best AGP video card out there... it has to last for a while, since further update will be a major update.



I've always liked ATI chipsets in the past.



I'm looking at this one:

I am looking for suggestions.



Thanks in advance.|||http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…

If you read the reviews you'll see the people who bought it are getting great gaming performance for an AGP card. Even doing good with Crysis.

Althou the Nvidia 7950GT is a nice card it only runs DX9, not a factor if you plan on running XP forever but, if you're a gamer and plan on putting Vista in sometime or already have it you'll want DX10. Nvidia has kind of forgotten the AGP crowd while ATI has some decent DX10 AGP cards out.|||That's about as good as it's going to get on AGP.



EVERY card that's on the market is severely bottlenecked by the outdated AGP bus.

Whats is the best agp video card?

I have pentium 4

2gb of ram

512mb video card

buying a new computer is not an option !|||+ The Radeon HD4670 is currently the fastest AGP video card.



Having said that, even a slow card like that will be bottlenecked by your P4.

Best agp video card for my system?

I have a pentium d 2.8 ghz, 512 ram, an fx 5200 video card.

Dont want to upgrade my MoBo yet, I think I have a 400 or 450 power supply|||You might want to go with the X1950GT. You will see a big difference|||GeForce 7900GS

What is the best agp video card for a game like crysis?

The fastest AGP card out there is Radeon 4650/4670. It barely meets the minimum requirements for Crysis and Crysis Warhead. But is far too slow to run Crysis 2. Assuming you have an adequate CPU, you can run Crysis at low detail and low resolution.



Time to get a new computer. I wouldn't throw any money at an obsolete AGP systems these days.|||Radeon HD6850 1024MB GDDR5 256-bit is the best choice.

What's the best AGP video card for a socket A MOBO?

I have a socket A mother board (Biostar M7NCD) topped out with an Athlon 3200+. I would like to get another year or so out of it before giving it to my kids and upgrading. What is the best AGP card I can get for it without bottle-necking my system. I was looking at the 7800GS, but I read that that would be a waist of money because it is too much card for a socket A MOBO and wouldn't show any improvement from slower cards. I am looking at the 7600GT and 6800GS(they are all the same price) but I don't know if they are also too much card.|||i would suggust u get an 1950gt ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as… ) because its actually pretty cheap for 160$ and i pratically have a system like yours (+3200 and i use a x1600pro ) if your really into gaming get the 1950gt you might not see alot of improvement on lower resolutions but this will shine on anything 1280x1024+|||My personal reccomendation would be the ATI Radeon X1600 series. Just enough to push HD content with the HDMI output. HDCP compatible for vista protected content. And at a sweet $120ish price range it's solid for the money.

I run this ONE card on TWO old CRT monitors and I can run an instance of WoW on one and LOTRO on the other and run them both smooth at medium rez.
