i'm just gonna trough this crazy question out there, so here goes;

you have checked that the monitor works right?

i mean you've practically rebuilt your pc!!!

£30 quid wont get you much, especially for gaming.

i agree with MB523 your motherboard has a AGP
configuration

you might be able to pick up a second hand decent card on ebay through some well...

THIS IS A HARDWARE FAILURE!

this happened to me very recently with my geforce 7800 gt.

i'm sorry to say no drivers will help as this is a hardware problem!!!

you will need to send the item...

I mentioned the HD cards due to the fact that they are the latest cards to be released by ATI, also currently the competing models from ATI to the decent geforce 8 models are weak

i would have to agree with caperjack about spending more pennies if you want better graphics

new low profile cards that have plenty of processing power to run moderns games arent really available...

true but what i was getting at was that when i played one of the earlier side mission that required the demolition of enemy armour. the mission which you probably know was set at night, now i...

do you feel they rushed it out? iand that maybe they should of spent more time tweeking it?

if they could of produce something that graphically looked like BF2 and played like it (e.g keyboard and...

yea the 8400 are budget cards of the geforce 8 chip anything under the 8600 GT isnt really worth considering if you want a graphics card for gaming.

the x800 was a good card a friend still has...

but the new HD isnt really a contender against the 8800 chip,

most test reveal that the HD's just cant keep up with the 8800's especially on higher res

just thought i would add that your better going for a nvida card at the mo, the 8800 chipset runs far better then the ATI's

although this is because ATI havent really released a card to contend...

ok just a discussion tell me in your opinion who is better for graphics at this time
is ATI better or NVIDIA?
EXAMPLE; whos better to use for the next gen games like quake 4 or call of duty 2 ...

well in the end I’ve decided that I will change my mother board for a pci-e version and go for a xt850 xt pe as I have found some cheaper then their nearest agp brothers and because the clock speeds...

what do you mean? if you've found a CPU water block that fits my fx-55 with out having a massive tank and set up on the outside of my case and costing the same amount as it cost the USA to send...

if anyone does read this i thought i would let you know i found 512mb graphic cards i even found a 640mb gpu but the price is massive and is it worth it?
as i said money is no object but i'm not...

thanks catweazle,
i just thought that if 512mb might come out i would hold on but like you say theres no need,
well im still torn but im thinking i might go for the ati x850xt from msi with there...

thanks for the ideas
but you guys didn't answer my second question, (not that you had to, just thought i'd piont it out in case you missed it)
also i now know my card is agp only no pci-e option ...

:cheesy:
question 1: thinking of a new agp gpu card.
not really bothered about price just want the best performer tell me what would you recommend? ;)
