I am in need of a good Video Card.
Currently I have a PNY GeForce FX 5200 Ultra / 128MB / AGP 8X / VGA / DVI / TV Out / Video Card, which will be placed in my other computer.
I am in need of something similar, yet better.
Here are the features that I would like to have:
An outlet that supplies power directly to the board.
Must be AGP, 8X, and at least 128mb
Perfer a heatsink and fan to keep it cool.
New, not used nor refurbished
Ideally my price range is up to $400
I would like to use it for a little bit of gaming, but more for video editting eventually. In the future I may also want to be able to link it to a television perhaps. I do not nessicarilly need the top of the line video card, but something that will not have to be updated in the next couple years would be great.
I have done some searching on my own and have come up quite confused, so I have turned to this site in hopes to gain knowledge of the best card for my machine.
I currently have an AMD Athalon XP, I believe 1.2. 512 RAM x2, on an ASUS mother board, running Windows XP Pro, 520 Watt 3 fan power supply, Audigy 2 video card with the 5 1/4 slot panel, I have currently a Lite-on Dual layer CD/DVD R/RW-+, and a DVD reader by Lite-on as well, plus many other minor thing my computer is running.
Any help in this area would be greatly appriciated,
Thanks,
