I want to get a good gaming videocard that doesn't cost me a bundle. My computer has AGP 8x, so I need the best videocard that can go in that slot. I know AGP is being phased out pretty much by PCI express, but my computer is that old 478 socket, and I'm running a 2.8 GHz processor, which should be sufficient for gaming. I have an ATI Radeon 9550 (256 MB) but when I'm playing some games it just doesn't run smoothly. It gets particularly laggy when there's smoke or shadows turned on within a game. I don't want to lose my wallet unless I have to, and I don't have enough experience with videocards to know which one would be good for me. Let me know what you gamers think.
I'm not sure if maybe I just need to tweak my videocard. I don't want to do that whole overclocking thing unless I'm sure it won't damage the card.
I remember back in the day when Voodoo3 was the only videocard to get... Hah.
