What video Cards do You guys have???

Hey Just select one of the video cards You guys have Just a curious overall chart
Also leave a post if you think it was a good buy!

im temporarely using a voodoo banshee on my athlon 64 2.5 ghz ^^
it scores 1700 3dmarks 2001 at 640x480

if its the choice between 8800 gts and 2900 pro I'd go gts because u have the option for sli (which is more stable and less hassel than crossfire) and also its about the same price or cheaper.
Plus the 8800 gts 320 beats the 2900 XT at most benchmarks for 19" native resolutions

The 2900 Pro is energy hungry compared to the 8800 gts and 100$ more exp. It out performs it at higher resolutions, but nvidia handles stress alot more and has higher benchmarks. Plus crossfire still is a little buggy. PLus the evga 8800 gts there is no competition it's the highest oc of the 8800 gts series. Ati lost the video card wars so far. They use to be better they have no competition in the high end gaming series.

X300
FX5200
Integrated ???
ATI Rage 128

As you can tell, I'm not a gamer.

EVGA 8800gtx superclocked, worth every penny.

Lump

I had a voodoo 3 king of 97 LMAO

Btw the 2900 has bettwe drivers but if you see the PC bible, by pc gamer they clearly state that the 2900 is flawed for Ati's top line. I was an ATI fan but I'm out The 2900 Pro costs 349.99$ CAD while the 8800 gts costs 279.99 CAD and 319.99 CAD for the 640 RAM. Whether you compare them single or dual. If they win in single (doubt it) they loose in dual sorry to say it !

I've got the 8800GTS 640MB in my rig, and my old one (now passed on to my brother) has an old ATI 9200 AGP card.

Question. What psu do you have and do you use both the 6pin and 8pin 12v lead to supply power to the card. Or two 6pin leads. How do you like it and compared to what you have used.

I'm still using my NV 7900GT which I bought about a year ago. I came very close to getting an 8800GTS 320 until I played Bioshock flawlessly at max settings 1280x1024. Since then I have no problem whatsoever waiting a bit longer for one of the new offerings since this old card can still run all my games maxed at my monitors' native resolution.

Sapphire Radeon HD 2600XT. For $100, this card was an excellent buy. I run the Team Fortress 2 beta at full settings (minus AA and AF anyway) at 1680x1050 without any problems. The game runs between 40-60fps in heated battle.

dear firetatoo: dont get off topic with video framerates.. you will get ownt.

thank you for not making fun of my genitalia

Using x1650SE, getting 8800gts or 2900pro (if available and see more bench) in a week or so.

The riva 128/128zx (8MB BEAT THAT GTX!) was my favorite.

ATI HD 2600 Pro - HTPC
ATI AIW X1800XL - All Purpose
NVidia 8800GTS-640 - Gamer

What's wrong with that? Lots of online polls don't let you see the results until you vote, or don't let you vote after you've seen the results. The idea is that you vote without being influenced by others' votes.

Hmmm, so maybe the fps didn't go up after all, and they just introduced some new bug in the drivers. Anyway, don't let me hijack the thread, I should have started my own.

Edit: poll results: it works for me, in FireFox 2. What browser are you using? The people who maintain the site will need to know that so they can fix it.

I still have a handful of matrox video cards and even VLB (not agp/pci(e)) cards.

8800gts 640mb for the win.

Wouldn't it be awesome to take your computer 10 years back in time just as Windows 98 came out and you are running XP 64bit playing games like Supreme commander while others are playing the first red alert?

Woot.

GeForce 7950GTX (yes GTX, it's a laptop card)
GeForce 6800 (vanilla)
Radeon X300 (biggest POS ever. I'm sure integrated could kick its A$$)
MX400 (not being used, sitting in my desk drawer)

I have three computers presently running:
a 8800 GTS 640
a XT 1900 XTX water cooled
a 7800 GTS 256 mb

When I get around to building a fourth computer, unless a new card comes out before then, I'll be using a HD 2900 1 gig card. All the cards that I have are basically good, but the 8800 GTS doesn't get along with my AMD FX60 all that well. Nvidia explains in their release notes that K7 and K8 CPUs have coding that doesn't work well with the 8800 series cards, but the 7800 GTX has no problems. Sounds strange to me, but whatever.

i currently use a x1900xt 512 overclocked at 700 core 1700mhz mem so it beats a x1950xtx.

i currently look for an upgrade but i just can't decide: when my card is having a rough time (rainbow six vegas at high,hdr and AA or call of juarez high, hdr and AA) it seems to me that the 8800gts or 2900xt isn't doing a whole lot better........ according to benchmarks online.

when these cards are getting 100fps, mine does 60-70 so i don't care. but when mine gets only 18 fps, those cards get 24-25 fps wich still isn't fast enough!

only a gtx does a fine job compared to mine but that's out of my league and not worth the money either.

maybe an overclock will make a difference? wich is better: 8800gts overclocked or 2900pro/xt overclocked?

not to impressed by the upcoming cards either: rv670 barely beats r600 and g92 is just 8800gt. new high-end will both be dual gpu cards wich will (again) use a lot of powerrrr (and produce a lot of heat).

i started with a fx5600 geforce then i got me a 6600gt geforce and was not satisfied so i both the evga 68oo gs and unlocked it(only shaders...pipeline were defect)and now im at the gainward 7800gs glh(20-7) @570-1500 ..and im still agp...i'm pretty a geforce fan....mabey in the future i buy me a 8800 but withs one i don't no yet...probably the ultra when the price is rigth(here in holland)

What is a video card?

Oh, that thing.

8800 GTS, 320mb has been purchased and will go into MY combination personal & business machine.

I've got this click here

That time at CompUSA there was this huge sale on it got it for half the price.

It's got 2 pcie 6 pin and 2 pcie 8 pins.
And it's semi-molex


The more powerful one is the 1KW version but during that time it was not available.

As compare to my old card, this is really really fassssttt!!!!
old gpu 6600GT

I miss the days of hourly Windows ME crashes and failed shutdowns. Wait, what am I talking about, no I don't!
