I have the HD3850pro AGP by Gecube.....

But the Gecube website appears to have disappeared. Tried tracert - as soon as it gets to Taiwan (.tw) the ping times go through the roof and then timeout....

Windows 7 x64 out now - looking for specific drivers.

I also want to know why this version of the hd3850 is not officially supported by Ati, when it said in Gecube's blurb that it was....!!! I hoped to be able to put that to the manufacturer (Gecube)... Neither Ati or AMD have bothered to reply to the same question numerous times - very frustrating, especially considering how much the card cost!

Any thoughts welcome.

P.S. I am using the hotfix catalyst drivers (unsupported, unverified, unsigned) from Ati - but unlike the PCI-E (normal) catalyst drivers - the hotfix drivers are not listed as compatible with windows 7 - so I fear problems once my son tries his games out....

The card is OLD! I can pick up a 4650 AGP for under £50 from the shop down the road. Given that I've not seen an AGP equipped motherboard in the last 3 years you might consider just how the system would cope with a modern game anyway.

Old?!
So is the HD4650 AGP....
and if you read the reviews on this site you'll see that it is actually slower, in general, than the hd3850...
4650's main benefit is lower power consumption - which is not a problem in my system.

Basically your comment is just an arrogant swagger, naive and snobbish!! :fou: 

"you might consider just how the system would cope with a modern game anyway. "

Come off it m8! Get real! :bounce: 

Dual core 2.66GHz CPU/4GB RAM + 3850 = no problems for the forseeable future....... :sol: 

I mock your lack of knowledge (that would have seen you rushing to hand over your cash for no good reason..!) and I suggest you refrain from commenting on these forums; on the basis you may look an even bigger fool...!! :non:  And worse you may persuade some other fool to part with their cash for no good reason!!

Get your head out of the clouds, stop believing the hype, get some real knowledge and then perhaps you'll have something of benefit to say....

:pt1cable:  lmao :kaola:

I have occasional problems with taiwanese websites. try at different times of day, and different days of the week and you may have better luck.

Wow.. drop the hate there my AGP wielding retro interface master. All I was suggesting is that you could, if you so chose, pick up a supported card for not an awful lot of money. I dunno about you but £50 is a lot less than a day of my time. I did not say it was a faster card, just that you can, if you so choose pick up something that will work.

If you check my rig details you'll find I run integrated graphics on a very basic build as I have no personal need to push the pixels.

Now, can you tell me how it copes with Crysis ;)
