Also, i was thinking about buying the Shappire version of this card which has 2 molex connectors, and both have to be plug to the card in order for it to work… would this make any difference? What do you think?? What you have not mentioned is what card are you currently running in your system, I was running a good leadtek which was by no means a slouch and very playable, I just cant live with dropped frame rates, drives me insane.
The essence is that if you are a serious gamer and want to hold out for the correct upgrade in early 08 to newer better and faster technologies out around then, buying the agp is a good value year long happiness inducing piece of kit.
Just think of the power supply as a purchase in the bank for the mean system of the future Even though this hurts. The sapphire card is a good one and looking at your machines specs Similar to mine but better and more ram and super cool raptor it will run very well. There is room for overclocking it if you are in to that sort of thing, but will not make much noticable difference, only a higher 3d score for kudos rights.
I have found that the p4 is holding back the performance now as this is acting as a throttle. I clocked my 2. The sapphire uses 2 molex connectors as there are few if any power supplies out there with over 30a on a single molex, hence using two molex connectors in parallel gives the required amps. By the way, the uses more amps that the big daddy nVidia gtx, Go Figure. I think its a worthwile upgrade, and feel I have spent my money well, Definately not buying ps3 now as will be too busy fragging on the pc.
Ok after this auto convincing speech.. OK guys i got the video cart did a few test and it rocks man!!! I just bought this card as well, and I hate to say that it is not living up to my expectations : I cant get the catalyst control center to work at all, and it plays my nascar game and rFactor worse than my gt that I had.
Have the 6 pin connector from my w PSU connected…. Could it still be a power issue? Im having the same problem. Agp is always turned off in smartgart and there is no way to turn it on. Mine is at off too but its running a 8X i know because of my speed test there is no way that i would have test like this with no 8X on. As you can see it has a 12V1 with 15 amperes and a 12V2 with 17 amperes. That means the amperes of both 12v will sum up when using the 6 ping connector? I have a system dual 3.
It works with the theater card much better and seems faster than the If you know of any benchmarks that run on Vista 64, I am willing to swap cards around and run them. This card is big ,but is a brilliant performer as long as you have the power and the air flow for it. Ok, i was all set on going PCI-E then i literally stumbled across the scoop on this card for the agp format and i got thinking…maybe…just maybe.
One thing though, i remember when i was considering the gs the PSU was a bit of a grey zone for me. So, considering what i have running [not alot really..? And if it were to go into my system, what kind of performance increase do you think i could expect over the faithful pro i have in there now? The card sucked in this PC. I can only urge anyone with less than DRR2 and minimum top end single core Athlon 64, upgrade! You will be so so happy!
The thing is that in order to get the best out of your Pro your sys need to be inline with your GC. If you had older system it will bottleneck which mean that you wont see much differences if you use new high-end GC compare to your older one. I found it very useful. Thanks for the knowledge. PS ONe last thing for now 7.
