kenlo said:thanks guys! this thread really helped a lot.
one more question: does it make a large difference on who the manufacturer of the video card is? or is it just about the graphic processor?
kenlo said:also, would an fx5500 be better than an mx4000? how do the different nvidia graphic processor series compare with each other?
if u are planning to play either of those games u need at least a 6600gt but if u cant afford that then go for the bfg one just dont try to play those games on it cause u'll get about 10fps on the lowest settingskenlo said:i have an agp slot, and i'm just looking for a card that will allow me to play some games like call of duty2 or doom3 on reasonable settings, not really at top graphics. plus i'm planning on learning graphic design as a hobby. do i really need something as intensive as a 7800gt?
HRHunteRHR said:Why are you buying an MX400. Nowadays, onboard video is better than an mx400....
HRHunteRHR said:AHHAHAHAHAH You need to read some, man. The mx400 is like 4 years old!! It won't even run Doom3.... Get something like this...
YOU WILL HAVE TO HAVE AT LEAST THIS TO RUN ANY NEW GAME.
