I an looking to invest in a agp card for my 2nd p.c that is cuurently using a nvidia ge-force 4 mmx(128 mb) but its very limited on it capabilities so i need a new agp card
i am looking for a card with pixel and shader model 2.0 and above and at least 128mb ram allthough 256mb would be better
i have looked at misco and dabs.com and the nvidia 6200,s look a good agp card and have p+s model 3.0 and can be bought for less than £50
is ther any other decent cards for under £75(will go to £90 at a push) but i would rather have cards with built in fans(unlike my last card..radeon 9250) that had just a heatsink and you couldnt use any tools like riva tuner and ati tool as you were scared of frying the card
any ideas for a good agp card?

Did they not read it when you said AGP. Now I will do my best, I am in America so I had to convert the currency, if I recommend something that is a little too much where you are just email me and I will try to correct myself. I would recommend a GeForce 6800XT 256MB RAM. This is the best card I can see in your price range, if I indeed have your price range correct.

PCI-e cards are all the rage at the moment which means that choice is pretty limited.
I have no plans to upgrade to 64-bit and PCI-e just yet (too expensive!), and had to get a new AGP card a few weeks back. I have invested about £80 in a Sapphire x1600 Pro card - superb bit of kit, small, neat powerful (wipes the floor with my old 9800 pro). More than capable of running today's resource intensive games (such as Battlefield 2).

sorry it extremely is not in all threat an answer on your question yet I could warn you you need to get a sturdy PSU (power furnish) so which you do no longer fry your card. additionally bypass to ultimate purchase or destiny shop whether you purchase the cardboard online so which you are going to see which playing cards they're offering. additionally ask them approximately PCI-e and agp optimistically you have a PCI-e slot open on your pc. memory frequency is rather significant a card could have a lot of ram however the ram would be "sluggish" through fact of low memory frequency ram is amazingly significant on a card yet maximum playing cards have bearing directly to the comparable memory frequency so there should not be to plenty problems

I bought one not long ago, an Asus - mine was an ATI all in wonder and didn't support open GL. This one is fine. I'd try Aria and Maplin - Maplin do free P&P over £35 and discounts - watch out for postage costs with Aria - but they have a great forum for customers.

Not big on graphics but, does your motherboard support these latest Graphics cards? It probably wont have PCI express. Check the MBoard manual or visit their site. I'd hate for you to get the best card and find out you have to replace the MB as well.
