graphics card

[mank!]

my 6800gt went kaput earlier today and needs replacing, i'm currently using an ancient gf ti4200 that i found in the attic and i don't think it's likely to run WoW terribly well.

i've got a modest budget of £100-£150.

the rest of my pc spec is amd 64 3500+, asus a8v deluxe, corsair 1gb ddr xms3200xl and a 17" iiyama vmp pro 413 as i don't have room - nor can i afford - a larger monitor.

advice is gratefully receieved, i'm so out of touch that i dodn't know what i'm looking for anymore.

I guess you'll be limited by the AGP slot, but this page seems to suggest a Leadtek 7600GT AGP as the choice.

Get it here.

Ati are doing the 1950xt thingy in AGP for about £150 or somthething.

what make is it? i think some gfx makers to extensive warranties like bfg and gainward

 

[mank!]

think the 7600gt is my best option then, will order one tomorrow.

the dead card was a leadtek 6800gt

My Leadtek one died as well, theres a lesson here.....












.....Leadtek have teh AIDS!

My leadtek runs wonderfully. (6800GT)

On another note, avoid the later ATI AGP offerings, they're utter shit and certainly can't keep up with the 7600's for love nor money.

 

[mank!]

btw i went for the leadtek 7600gt, tis a lovely card thus far.

Grats. My leadtek 6800gt died twice until they gave up and sent me a 7800gs BFG branded card. (overclockers ftw btw).

Oh and when mine died I was reduced to playing WoW on a ti4200. It ran fine for the most part.
