If you do not have a 8X AGP port then dont get an 8X video card. Not true, 8X AGP makes VERY little difference. You need a processor at least twice as fast. A Sapphire Radeon 9000 is 3 times as fast as a GTS video card. It might be a good replacement. I run one on an ASUS A7N8X motherboard with an XP2400+ and it runs great. Hardly. a Radeon 9000 is only ~50% faster, not multiple times. It would take a minimum of a Radeon 9700 Pro to be 3X as fast. Dvae I agree, Tiny Tim is talking ******** about 9000s being 3 times as fast. My 8500 (faster than a 9000) gives about 9300 in 3d mark 2001, and my GF2 Ti gave just under 5000. Not even twice as fast, but a huge improvement. To be fair though, I do get 3 times the score in 3d mark 03, but that's mainly because my GF2 is only allowed to do one test 'cos its DX7! |
