graphic cards?

Question

which is the better card to purchase, ati 9800xt 256mb agp with a zalman zm 280-hp fan cooler or asus ax800xt 256mb agpx8 graphics card?

Answer 1

i have to agree with taskr36 on this one,the x800xt is a pretty nifty card,with a core clock of 520mhz and a memory clock of 540mhz,these are quite good clock speeds for a agp card
with 256mb of ddr video memory this will run any game you throw at it,this might explain why the x800,s havent gone down in price as much as the other agp cards such as the x1300,s although these are weaker cards
as you are in the £100 price region ,i can recommend the x1950(http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-069-HT),this is probally the best agp card avalible,with 36 pixel shader processors,a whopping 620mhz core clock and a effective 1.48ghz memroy core,this is a beast of a card,and what i like about this actual make(h.i.s) they do a brilliant graphic card case,but just make sure it will fit in your p.c case
i think £150 for this card would mean you will have a card that should see you ok for around 5 years
good luck on whatever card you choose#

Go to google search, type in what is the best sound card, then type in each model number, comma then as many as you have

Answer 3

The x800xt by far. The 9800 is very outdated. It's not even close.

Answer 4

ALWAYS go with the brand names, because they tend to last you more years, and also much easier to install with direct information, and if you dont want to install it yourself, go to your local computer store, they will do it for you (not for FREE).
