Hello everyone, I am new to Tomshardware.
I currently have the following MB. The below link shows the compatible Graphics cards:
http://www.asrock.com/mb/vga.asp?Model=775Dual-VSTA&s=775&c=VGA
I currently have the Leadtek 7900GS card and it works great but will now not work with newer games.
I am on a very tight budget and am trying to baby my set-up for another year or so before building a new rig (this rig only lasted me two years-sigh).
Here is what my current system is:
-ASRock 775Dual-VSTA LGA 775 VIA PT880 PRO ATX Intel Motherboard
-Intel Pentium 4 650 Prescott 3.4GHz LGA 775 84W Single-Core Processor Model BX80547PG3400F (Over clocked 3.75 Ghz Max )(E6700 C2D Max CPU)
-A-DATA Vitesta 1GB (2 x 512MB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model ELJPE1908K (2Gig Max)
- Leadtek WinFast PX7900GS TDH 256MB GeForce 7900GS 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card(Max 8800GTS)
-HITACHI Deskstar T7K250 HDT722525DLAT80 (0A31611) 250GB 7200 RPM IDE Ultra ATA133 Hard Drive
-M-AUDIO Revolution 5.1 5.1 Channels PCI Interface High-Definition Sound Card
-Sony Optiarc Black IDE DVD-ROM Drive Model DDU1615/B2s
-Rosewill RE502-SLV 500W ATX12V v2.03 Aluminum Power Supply
-APEVIA X-CRUISER-AL Silver Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
-CHIMEI CMV 937A Silver-Black 19" 8ms Widescreen LCD Monitor
- ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro 92mm CPU Cooler
Will someone please tell me if it is worth it to purchase the best card on the list (8800GTS/GTX or is there a better option?)
I have been out of the game and do not understand which ATI Radeon card is the best.
My MB has a PCI Express x16 slot, but it only works at x4 mode.
Thanks everyone,
Josh
