Radeon X800 Question and Replacement

Last response: in Graphics & Displays
Share

My PC Specs Are:


Windows XP Home SP2 (Version 2002)
AMD Athlon X2 5000+ (2.61 GHz)
2 Gigs of RAM
400+ Watt Power Supply
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-M55PLUS-S3G

Monitor: ViewSonic 20G, 1600 x 1280, Composite to VGA, 20" CRT
(The monitor I got for free and it works great; More Info On It At:
http://www.monitorworld.com/Monitors/viewsonic/viewsoni...


Video Card: PowerColor Radeon X-800, 256-MB, 256-Bit, PCI-E x16

I'd like to replace the video card with something better. My next video card must be at least 256-Bit and have a VGA port. My monitor seems to have problems with VGA to DVI Adapters. I've tried and get no picture. I've tried researching multiple video cards and come up short. If anyone has any ideas that would be better and faster than what I already have, please feel free to share (Web Addresses to the locations of the cards suggested are Welcome).

Note: I like playing a lot of FPS Games. I'm looking for a Graphics Card for Gaming and Watching Movies on my PC.


Thanks for taking the time to help

Jacob

The 4850 doesn't have a VGA port. So I would also go with either the 3850 or the 9600gso, both would probably be a good upgrade for you.


There are DVI-VGA adapters. Graphic Cards usually come with one. If they don't, you can get one dirty cheap.

Sometimes reading the original post helps. :D

Posting while working, well, sometimes things like this get out. I'm not perfect. The 9600/3850 are the choices.


Sorry, didn't mean to be offensive. Just teasing. It happens to everyone.

And you did well. When one loses the ability of laughing at himself, there isn't much left to loose. So, it was kinda funny actually. No offense taken mate :) 

I've Tried using other adapters. My current graphics card has both a VGA and DVI. It came with an adapter and I've used the same adapter on other systems and it works fine. It just doesn't work with my Monitor.

Thank you all for the rest of the comments/ recommendations you've provided me with.
