VIDEO CARD

by ancestry - 9/16/06 4:11 AM In reply to: How much video memory does your graphics card have? by Marc Bennett Moderator

I upgraded recently to a Inno3D GeForce 6200 256MB video card. I love games and have quite a few, from arcade to 3-D (including all versions of Civilization, Age of Empires, Rise of Nations/Legions, Axis & Allies, Combat Flight Simulators and Silent Hunter III). My computer is not that powerful (AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2600+, MMX, 3DNow, ~2.1GHz) but I found that this card (plus an extra 1GB memory) improved screen stability compared to my original NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4200 with AGP8X 64MB video card. I also installed a more powerful 500W power supply unit to help things along. Frustrating freezing screens are thankfully a thing of the past.

ATI or Nvedia

by setonai - 9/16/06 4:34 AM In reply to: How much video memory does your graphics card have? by Marc Bennett Moderator

I have now ATI Readon 9550 although it is 256 mega ddr but the Important thing is GPU, from experience in the past years I tried many Graphics cards, and I prefer Nvedia's GPUs. Nvedia produces something special you can not find in other graphic cards, and playing is more enjoyable.

An Nvidia Geforce 32mb graphics card.

by mahesh9112006 - 9/16/06 5:04 AM In reply to: How much video memory does your graphics card have? by Marc Bennett Moderator

iam having 32MB Nvidia GeForce2 MX card onboard. Iam using AMD Athlon XP. There is one complaint about graphics card.itz getting hanged when playing games nd it shows the problem is created by the nvidia driver nv4.mini.sys.well this is not the subject here i know.iam going 2 buy new video card having 256mb. but i dont think it will work because, my motherboard is old which supports only 4x. video cards r capable of supplying 8x. i had 512mb Ram instead 2 help myself playing games.i often gets depressed and angry when the game hangs.

Thanx to CNET for giving me the opportunity to post this.

128mb atm

by ps brown - 9/16/06 5:52 AM In reply to: How much video memory does your graphics card have? by Marc Bennett Moderator

I've got an ATI Radeon 9200 128MB AGP card at the moment, but plan to upgrade to a 256MB PCI-E card when I upgrade my motherboard and cpu after christmas.

I don't play games, but do do alot of multitasking in graphics programs, so I'll go for a good mid-range card.

Three computers, different configurations. Six year old Dell has an Asus V8200 AGP 4X 64MB. My workhorse has an XFX 6200 AGP 8X 256MB. The gaming machine has SLI configuration 2 XFX 6800XT 256MB each. The last two computers are home built.

e-GeForce 7900 512mb (beefy sucker)

New home built for son in Iraq. I'm not the gamer, just the mom waiting for gamer son to come home after extension in Badghad to show me how well it does.

As far as I'm concerned it's gorgeous on the viewsonic at high res. :-})

What Graphic Card am I driving?

by 231326 - 9/16/06 12:39 PM In reply to: How much video memory does your graphics card have? by Marc Bennett Moderator

I am running Factory-Sequential ATI 1600 PRO 512MB GDDR3 PCIE (16x) Cards in CROSSFIRE MODE!

They rest on an Intel D975XBX Motherboard, populated with a Conroe Core 2 Duo X6600 (2.4GHz x 4MB x 2) CPU, and 4GB of DDR2 5300 RAM, SoundBlaster's XFi-Platinum Sound Card, and within less than a month; a foursome of 350GB SATA II Hard Drives running in RAID level 0.

With the two-drive RAID 0 subsystem, I can edit 30MB/Second Uncompressed Video at over 400 frames per second! The new array will be 300% faster!

Pre installed or Upgraded?

by efahad - 9/17/06 1:25 AM In reply to: How much video memory does your graphics card have? by Marc Bennett Moderator

I was expecting that people with 64 with get the most percentage. But the majority had 265. I've been tracking a lot of online shops in the US or other markets and I don't see a lot of preinstalled 265 memory.
Are most of you guys upgrading? what for ? games or other graphic software?
Just a thought ..!
