What agp 8x card to get

im planning on selling my 6600gt and i was wonderin what vid card i should get that would let me overclock or maybe even flash into a faster video card for $200. i saw many pci-express cards that are much cheaper, but unfortunately, im stuck with agp 8x cuz of my motherboard. What is the best 6800 or x800 to get so i can flash or overclock? Any suggestion?

(i forgot to mention that nVidia's web site is a complete breeze to download updated drivers from.  I had a difficult time finding drivers on the ATI site.  I am not here to bash anyone's video card, Just sharing my experiences.  Both manufacturers offer fine performance.  I just found the nVidia site to be simple to get driver updates.  4 clicks and you are downloading your new driver)
Are you on crack? It takes 2 clicks from ATI's website to download their drivers and couldnt be any more simple to do so! A 2 year old could get onto ATI's website and find the download latest drivers link in the lower left hand corner of their webpage. Before your bash me for being an ATI fanboy, just know that I actualy own more nVIDIA cards than I do ATI even though I chose to use an ATI card as my main vid card. I own nvidia cards ranging from a 6600 stock all the way down to a TNT 2 and sell video cards for a living so I am not biased towards either company!
To Da8omB,
I shop @ monarch all the time and have had nothing but a wonderfull experience with them. I've ordered more than 10 ATI and Sapphire Radeon 9800 PROS from them over the summer and their shipping response time is just great. Obviously not as big as newegg or zipzoomfly nor do they have the huge promotions and sales but their service is on par with the big boys as is their shipping time! Hope that helps!

  • What AGP video cards work with the MEGA PC

    Hi,
    I am a newbie to this forum and a new owner of a Mega PC651.  I will be configuing it with the following:
    512 MB DDR 2100 RAM
    Celeron 2.4Ghz CPU
    Digital Research Technologies DVD+-RW/+-R
    I want to play 3D games like C&C Generals with the system but am afraid that the SIS651 will not support them.  
    I have a ATI 9700 All-in-wonder Card in my son's computer but am concerned about heat generation in the Mega PC after reading several reviews. Also, I think that he will be very angry if I steal his card.
    Can anyone recommend a moderately priced Video card MSI or other that will fit and will not cause any heating problems?
    Thanks,
    Charlie G

    Windows XP supports up to AGP 8x.
    I have a 9600 pro at the moment. I don't think that VGA silencer will work - if it takes up the PCI slot, then there will be nowhere for the cooler to draw air from because it will be pressed up against the case.
    I am currently running my 9600 pro without any additional cooling and it seems to be doing ok. I did have a unit somewhat like this:
    http://www.frozencpu.com/cgi-bin/frozencpu/slf-01.html
    It definately helped the cooling but the noise began to get to me. I recently sorted out my CPU cooling problems and so the main source of noise was my system exhaust above. I have taken it out and have been playing several high graphics games with no problems yet.
    As for only supporting up to 4x, the 9600 pro will not be dragged back much. When it gets to the point that games require more than 4x speed to pass full detail for a decent framerate, the 9600 pro will start to struggle anyway. You will have a slight performance decrease, but nothing that will turn a game from being playable to un-playable. I would have bought a better card but the 4x speed would limit the cards actual power so there wouldn't have been any point.

  • 2.3 DP (Sept. 2005 model) whats best GFX card to upgrade to?

    Hi,
    I'm sick of my "whining" Radeon 9650 GFX card in my DP 2.3.
    Whats a better card to get? Without spending silly amounts of money!
    My main graphical things are video editing, and gaming.
    Thanks

    the graphics cards for macs seem to be special ones, I have looked at my 6800 and it seems to be different than the others, also on the nvidia/ATI websites they have different ones... I would try searching froogle( google shop) to find a place to buy the apple ones... also the 6800 is supposed to take power from 2 other places than the actial AGP slot.. on mine it doesn;t do this so it must be different for mac

  • Hardware missing -AGP Graphics card. How can I get my FCE 4 working on the new computer? Cheers

    Hi I have just upgraded my computer to Mac OSX 10.6.7 now I cant open my FCE 4. Message reads, Hardware missing -AGP Graphics card. How can I get my FCE 4 working on the new computer? Cheers

    Thanks, just so I know we are talking about the same items please let me know - When you say "run Prokit" do you mean downloaded? Which I did. I dont have Prokit 4.0.1 if you are referring to that, do I need this first? Please explain what application name I am looking for if other than Prokit which is sitting in my "download folder" do I need to manually put it into the apps folder? Sorry if the questions are layman but this area is not a very strong point for me. Thanks for your help so far.

  • I got a 15 dollar iTunes gift card and it got subtacted to 5 bucks when I used it on iTunes! What do I do to get the 10 dollars back?

    Okay, so today I got a 15 dollar iTunes gift card. I used it on iTunes and it only put me up to $4.96. I had a prepaid credit card on my account at the time that iTunes was thinking the security code was invalid, that is why I got the iTunes card. What do I do in order to get the ten bucks back? I checked my recent purchases and it says I have not purchased anything in 3 days. I have contacted Apple Support and I will post what they say. Untill then, does anyone have any idea what I can do to get my money back? I retried entering my gift card but it is, as it should be, already been used.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of doing so include clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.

    You need to add a valid payment method to the account. An iTunes gift card can be added.

  • Get error msg. "Configuration error"  AGP Graphics Card

    I recently purchased a MacBook Pro 17". I migrated my software from my old computer, but when I tried to open Final Cut Express HD, I got an error message saying Configuration Error "AGP Graphics Card." When I went to the support site, it indicated that I needed to download an update. I did that, but the install indicated that I was already updated and current. What can I do?

    You are in the Final Cut Pro forum and find more focused help over in the FCExpress forum.
    That said, usually these messages arise when you are installing an older, non-intel version of the software on an intel machine.
    You can not update it, you need to purchase the upgrade to the current Universal Binary (aka intel ready) version of the software for it to run properly.
    Good luck,

  • HT3702 My Master card card was rejected in the US store, it was issued in Jordan from Jordan Ahli Bank! However, it is accepted in the Jordanian store, any reason why? and what should i do to get to use the US store for future purchases?

    My Master card card was rejected in the US store, it was issued in Jordan from Jordan Ahli Bank! However, it is accepted in the Jordanian store, any reason why? and what should i do to get to use the US store for future purchases?

    Because they are the terms of use of the stores - terms from the US store :
    The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance.
    And similar terms apply to all other country's iTunes stores. Part of the reason is licensing (Apple can only sell content where the providers have granted them licenses to sell it), amd part might be due country's laws (some country's have restrictions as to what can be sold within their country). If there is content that you want that is not currently in the Jordanian store then you can try requesting that it be added (but the content providers might not let Apple sell it there) : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • Startup error with AGP video cards

    I have a WInME machine that gives me errors on windows start-up that ask me
    to hit ctrl-enter to clear and states that the client did not remain
    resident. These only occur when I have an AGP video card installed. I do
    have a PCI video card but would like to use it in a different machine. Has
    anyone run across anything like this?
    Thanks,
    Craig Yager

    I had tried that to no avail. I had also tried uninstalling the video
    drivers earlier using the always reliable add/remove programs and got a
    message that they had already been uninstalled. Just for grins, I tried it
    again a few minutes ago (since it showed back up in the list of programs)
    and it uninstalled for real that time. So I restarted, got no novell client
    error msgs, re-installed video drivers, and got no error messages on
    re-start! So I guess there was some sort of corruption in the video driver
    that was causing this whole mess. Anyway, all's well now..thanks for your
    help Barry!

  • FCE can't launch AGP Graphics Card?

    I've been using FCE 4.x for years. The other day, I installed Soundtrack and all of a sudden my Final cut won't open or launch. I'm getting a "Configuration Error"
    "This software requires certain hardware or software which is missing."
    "AGP graphics card."
    I have done nothing in regards to my OS or hardware. All I have done is install Soundtrack the other day.
    Please help...

    as a final note, this is what I had to do. I used the FCE remover application from a link in a previous post, then re-installed FCE version 4.0 from DVD disk. Then, I was getting errors about my existing FCE projects being newer than the application version. I realized that I had probably downloaded an update. So, I did Software update to version 4.01 (I think). It all works great now!
    Thanks for your time and advice. I should have known that by installing Soundtrack which no longer comes with FCE 4, that it's an older application but I didn't think it would have anything to do with my version of FCE. Glad you pointed me right...

    Try hitting the esc key whenever you get the message.
    You are probably using FCE 3.0 which was not designed to run on Intel Macs.
