which brand of video card i should go for, for playing high end video games in PC?

Question

my PC comf, 512 ram, 3 HT processor, intel original motherboard with AGP and PCI slots. Pl. suggest some good video card at reasonable price.

Answer 1

ati is best

Answer 2

Since your board still has an AGP graphics slot, your choice is very limited.
Current video cards use the PCI Express slot to accommodate the need for faster data transfer.

Your best buy if you really need an AGP card, is an nVidia GeForce 6600 GT with an AGP connector. It should cost about $150 to $200.
But this isn't the highest end anymore.

However, before you go out buying a new card: try to save your money until about February next year.
In January, Windows Vista will be released, with DirectX 10.
Currently there is only one Direct X10 card (for PCI Express) on the market, and it costs over $800.

Wait a few months to save money, and then buy a new motherboard with PCI Express slot and a reasonably priced DirectX 10 card. This will be more future proof, than buying a AGP card now.

Oh, and while you're in a spending mood: Upgrade your RAM. Most newer games will load a lot faster, if you have at least 1 GB of RAM.

Answer 3

I would recommend the GeForce 6600 cause it has support for AGP and would be good for ur system..

The GeForce 6600 (NV43) was officially launched on August 12th, 2004, several months after the launch of the 6800 Ultra. With half the pixel pipelines and vertex shaders of the 6800 GT, and a smaller 128-bit memory bus, the lower-performance and lower-cost 6600 is the mainstream product of the GeForce 6 series. The 6600 series retains the core rendering features of the 6800 series, including SLI. Equipped with fewer rendering units, the 6600 series processes pixel data at a slower rate than the more powerful 6800 series. However, the reduction in hardware resources, and migration to TSMC's 110 nanometer manufacturing process (versus the 6800's 130 nm process), make the 6600 both less expensive for NVIDIA to manufacture and less expensive for customers to purchase.

Their 6600 series currently has three variants: the GeForce 6600LE, the 6600, and the 6600GT (in order from slowest to fastest.) The 6600 GT performs quite a bit better than the GeForce FX 5950 Ultra or Radeon 9800 XT, with the 6600 GT scoring around 8000 in 3DMark03, while the GeForce FX 5950 Ultra scored around 6000, and it is also much cheaper. Notably, the 6600 GT offered identical performance to ATI's high-end X800 PRO graphics card when running the popular game Doom 3. It was also about as fast as the higher-end GeForce 6800 when running games without anti-aliasing.

At introduction, the 6600 family was only available in PCI Express form. AGP models became available roughly a month later, through the use of NVIDIA's AGP-PCIe bridge chip

Answer 4

If you had a PCI Express 16x slot it would really help you, 512Mb of RAM wont be sufficient for "high-end" gaming, 512Mb DDR3 is what I have on my graphics card.

For an AGP slot though I recommend an ATI 9800 PRO is quite cheap and still runs a lot of high end games, last time I played with that I played F.E.A.R. and Far Cry with medium-high resolution with extremely smooth results

Answer 5

Kinda. if you're going to play video games on a HD reveal screen with a 1920x1080, 1920X1200, or a 1680X1050 determination then you actually will want a reliable video card. On a smaller reveal screen you could damage out with an ok video card. on the minimum you ought to ascertain both a Radeon HD 6850 or an universal GTX 560 (no ti on the right). those playing cards are in the $one hundred eighty budget. in case you want more desirable FPS or you opt to educate the settings up higher then check out a more desirable intense priced card. about the Processor... there is not any distinction in any respect between the i5-2500K and the i7-2600K in gaming. the money kept on the 2500k will be a lot more desirable ideal spent on a more desirable ideal images card. there's a distinction between the first and 2d technology processor in performance. although there is not any longer a lot distinction in fee. clearly, the 2d technology processors will be swifter and they are going to take care of video games somewhat more desirable ideal. i fairly imagine Intel ought to stop the first technology Quad-middle processors (i7-960, i7-870, i5-760, and promote them at a discount.

Answer 6

ATI Radeon is great for gaming. Check out what cards are available to you and look for online reviews or comparisons of that card.

Answer 7

never heard of Sony and Lg cards.. they r available?!!!

well i wud suggest you to go for Nvidia.. although the latest ATI radeon chipset is top performer.. but price is too high.. its always been nvidia on the top of the charts.. but latest ATI cards dominated in test.. but wait for some time and Nvidia will be releasing latest chipset.. and for the brand concerned.. go for XFX,Gainward,powercolor.... as they r best.. on on the price to performance i wud prefer SMEDIA,ASUS,MSI... asus r bit costly compared to SMEDIA...n so if u want the best with no barrier on price.. then go for powercolor or gainward.. else settle with Smedia... 6800 chpset based Nvidia cards

Answer 8

I recommend nVIDEA. It has maximum features and supports maximum games than other brands. I have ATI radeon but i am not satisfied with it.
