Hi, I've been trying to decide on a AGP GPU card for my old, not to be upgraded for a year, Athlon XP 3000+ with 1.5 GB DDR400 RAM system.
I live in Greece so my options are limited (and presented below).
I am hoping for the best option for the least amount of money (Which I am hoping will not exceed 135 euros, although several of the options presented will...)
Bellow is a list of all the cards I could find with price and link to the manufacturers' page.
I am really hoping for a good result.
As a side-note, I am primarily buying this new graphics card to play Neverwinter Nights 2 so if you know of a card that performs better than another then please tell me. Also, Remember that I have an Athlon XP 3000+ (2080 MHz, Performance Rated at 3.00 GHz), 1.5 GB DDR400 RAM (in DualDDR mode) and a Q-Tec PSU of 550 Watt so it shouldn't only be the best card but also one the rest of the system can take full advantage of...
Thanks!!!
The available cards are:
- Several GeForce 7600 GT with 256 MB GDDR3 (Gainward, XpertVision and Galaxy) for prices ranging from 108 to 123 euros
- Sapphire Radeon X1950 GT - 256 MB GDDR3 at 132 euros
- GeCube Radeon X1950 PRO - 256 MB GDDR3 at 150 euros
- XpertVision Radeon X1950 GT - 512 MB GDDR3 at 157.5 euros
- Sapphire Radeon X1950 PRO - 512 MB GDDR3 at 162 euros
or the all out option of a slightly factory overclocked:
- HIS Radeon X1950 PRO - 512 MB GDDR3 with an IceQ3 cooler thingy at 172 euros
