that's my stats as of right now. im trying to find a new graphics card b/c even in Source i get crappy FPS with the X1300, even though it claims to have 512MB of video ram. i used to have a RADEON 9800 Pro until it started acting weird, then my friend let me borrow this X1300, which in my opinion is actually slower then the 9800 pro. My motherboard supports AGP 4x. i noticed in the sticky for this forum that the best AGP card was the ATI Radeon X1950XT. i can only find this card in 256MB versions...does a 512MB version exist? does it make sense to go down to less video RAM? can someone show me the light here? the only x1950xt i could find on new egg was http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814241049 , i never even heard of GeCube. are they a reliable company? I was taught to buy straight from the manfacture when possible, as i did with my 9800 Pro. The X1300 is a VisionTek i believe. at little help here would be great. wats the best card i can run with my agp 4x mobo?
