I am currently the highest bidder £25 but if i get outbid i wont bid any more

just had a quote from pc care
they will supply and fit a series 6 graphics card for £60 so i will use them
 
Ah, that explains it. eBay is notorious for this. Try looking for a 6600GT or a 7300GT GDDR3 instead. Both are superb cards and can still play most new games quite acceptably.
 
The 6200 is a good video card if you're going to surf the web, play flash based games and use typing programs. If you want to play WoW, FEAR, or newer games then you're going to need something with a lot more power like THIS. You may also have to purchase a new PSU (power source) depending on what you already have. I couldn't easily find the amperage needed for the card but I'll guess that you'd need to have at least a 450 watt PSU to power the thing. Nvidia quit supporting AGP after the 7 series cards so this should be the one of the fastest or the fastest card you could get for AGP.

The 7600GT is a good card and so is the 6800GS. I have one of the 6800GS overclocked versions.

Don't bid again until there are just 15 seconds left until the auction ends. The method is called snipping and helps to keep me from over bidding and helps to keep the price down on the item I'm bidding for. When I bid on an item I never bid until the last few seconds of the auction. If I lose then I lose because somebody's maximum bid was higher than mine. If I win then I won because I outbid the other guy by a few pennies. I don't want to give him time to change his mind on his maximum bid so I drasticly reduce the amount of time he has to change his mind. I usually win and get a fair price. When you do bid put in your maximum price plus a few pennies not your current bid. Say the current bid is $23.00 and shipping is $6.00 more. I don't want to pay anymore than $32.00 with shipping so I place my maximum bid of $26.07 seconds before the auctions ends. If I win then great; if I don't then somebody else was willing to pay more (or overpay) for the item.
 
The X1950PRO is a powerful, albeit expensive card for AGP. It's worth checking out if you have the cash though.

Not true. Read this and this.
 
Those articles are pretty old Rage. I'd love to see a GF 8300 or something in AGP, really need that HD video processing capabilities for an older comp I've got connected to an HDTV, currently I've got a 7800GS in it because my 6200 doesn't have the balls to do HD along side an A64 2800+. But I'd like to get that 7800 into my C2D 4400 or a Pent D 3.0 since it would be better served there for light-moderate gaming.
 
@SNGX1275, the HD2400 is going to be officially released by ATI and it's partners in AGP, and the price range is given as $50-$75. I think that would be perfect for your HTPC, wouldn't it?
 
which cards would you rate as the better?

~£50
512MB Sapphire Radeon X1650 PRO AGP DVI/TVO (£55) OR
256MB Palit 7600GT GDDR3 AGP 8x Dual Link DVI (£60)

~£100
512MB Sapphire X1950PRO DDR3 AGP 8x Dual-DVI / TV-Out (£105)
256MB MSI 7600GT DDR2 AGP 8x VGA / DVI / TV-Out (£80)

(FYI I've got a P4 2.8GHz @ 3.09GHz on an ASUS P4P800-SE, 2GB DDR RAM, Inno3D 6200 which is pretty good for £25!, 320GB HDD, XP Home)
 
The X1950PRO is the best. Second place goes to the Palit 7600GT. The MSI 7600GT comes next and last place goes to the X1650PRO. :)
 
Rage_3K_Moiz I didn't know that. To bad that those cards are all 128-bit. :( I have an older 3.2GHz Pentium IV with a GeForce 6800GS I'd like to upgrade. I wonder how the 2600XT would fare against the X1950Pro.
 
Argh Cinders, you've got me worrying!

It seems from your spec that we may be in the same boat. Are you saying that your MoBo doesnt support 128bit? I cant that piece of info for mine anywhere! I've got a Inno 3D Geforce 6200 which is 64bit - is the ASUS
P4P800SE compatible with these newer 128bit cards?!

is the info at this site correct anyone? OK its in polish but the test setup they used put a 6600GT (128bit) on an ASUS P4P800-SE

Motherboards have nothing to do with a card's onboard memory interface. A 32-bit card and a 256-bit one will run in the same motherboard. Cinders just meant that the cards are 128-bit, which is lower-mid end performance ATM. The fastest AGP card, the X1950PRO, is 256-bit and the fastest cards available today like the HD2900XT and 8800GTX are 512-bit and 384-bit respectively.
 
What Rage_3K_Moiz said is true, and I'll add that performance video cards usually start at 256-bit at the mid end and work their way up as high as 512-bit.
 
yes but - there is always a yes but - sorry.
For the system to perform at max it all has to operate in a balance. A blindingly quick card in a cr*p board is a waste of effort.
 
I don't agree. An X1950PRO in a Biostar or ECS mobo will work just as well as the same card in an Abit or GigaByte board. Not everyone wants to spend $120+ on a board when a cheaper one will do just fine, unless they need the extra OCing features etc.
 
It would be interesting to see which one performed the best, though! I have always found that the more expensive boards performed better overall and were not always worth the money just because of the extra goodies. Stick a Jetway board with the same chip, memory and other peripherals up against an Asus board at 4 times the price and whilst you don't get 4 times the performance there is a difference in speed and long term serviceability. That bit I do know as once I build 4 machines, 3 with Jetway boards and 1 with the Asus because that is all I could get hold of in a hurry and, for example, the windows installation time on the Asus was at least 25% quicker. All other components were the same.
Those 3 Jetway machines all came back 3 years later with fat caps. This Asus is still running after 5 years - due for retirement now though!
