Isn't that AGP? AGP's are rapidly getting outdated Sad

EDIT: Well I thought Confused

how do you figure? i dunno how much more powerful PCI-E is but even so, AGP is hardly 'outdated'

anyway, cool card.

bf2 is leetskeet to the utter extreme. me, nugget, chocula, and shnagenburg's brother (mr.Waffles) owned this server for an hour or two, it was awesome. We won at least 5 rounds. too bad BF2 doesn't record my stats Sad

PCI Express gives you:-
1. Better bandwidth (8GB/s on x16 PCI Express)
2. Better power through the slot
3. You can plug other non graphics cards into that PCI Express x16 slot if you want
4. Once the OS and drivers catch up you get great features like guaranteed bandwidth for graphics etc.

^Supposedly^

You "owned" the server as in you actually "owned" it or are you referring to "ownage"? Razz

I don't have much money since my dad can't pay his child support anymore... Sad

so I'd still have to stick with the bare minimum I can get and still be able to play BF2.

of course PCI-E is better, but it doesn't mean that AGP is getting outdated quickly. Owned it as in "we destroyed everyone because we're the best people ever"

1. So what? As far as I know, no one's passed the AGP 4x bandwidth limit...

2. I though this was true as well, but I see high-end power guzzling cards that are PCI-X using external power.

3. Find me another PCI peripheral device and maybe I'll agree on this one. Quite a marketing con :-/

4. We... already... have that...

AGP is far from outdated. It's interesting that you said, "oh, isn't that AGP?". Do you expect him to go out and get a new motherboard or what?

One last thing, many cards come in both PCIx AND AGP.

1. what wang said (but i think there are a few 8x appz, i thought doom3 & hl2 were? but nothing even attempts to use 16 yet)

2. what wang said, plus, who cares anyway, if u have a good comp, u have a good power supply, and if u dont(have a good PSU that is), youre stupid

3. yeah, but then u have to take out your video card??? thats pretty dumb, ud have to have a pci 1x card to use when u do that... either that or u could but ur 16x card in a 1x slot.... and watch ur comp run like shit, no thanks, pci cards are plenty fast for me

4. what wang said

honestly, who here has a pci-e board??? anyone??? <chirrrrp chirrrrrp> thought so... why not??? becuse it isnt worth upgrading... why shell out huge $$ for pci-e now when in a year itll be a reasonable price & things will actually use all the new features... but then sofware will take another jump & ull be toast.... right now is a ram upgrade time, its cheap, new vid cards & mobos & cpu's are high, buy ur ram & hard drive now & buy a new mobo/vid card when theyre cheap again

ok ok ok... I'm too lazy right now to read all of that...

So tell me, is the video card I'm about to get a good idea?

Or another better card for the same price?

I agree. Sensei Supa is correct. Buy RAM now - buy RAM often.

game's unplayable for me ATM. i crash every time i get in game.

EA Games admitted they messed up bigtime with the patch. They're encouraging everyone to uninstall bf2 and reinstall without the patch.
