    £100 AGP card..can AGP still hack it ?

    ok following on from this thread http://forums.hexus.net/graphics-car...hics-card.html i now find out that the pc this was for only takes AGP

    can AGP still cut it with the new games on £100 budget???

    e.g Computer hardware and software at amazing prices, available online from Scan Computers UK


    or is it just not worth paying out for a card that will struggle to cope

    Well if you can push the budget by £4.45
    512MB Sapphire Radeon X1950Pro AGP 8x
    AGP can still hack it esp at the res of most 17"-19" tft's (1280x1024 or 1400x900)

    Other place to try is 2nd hand, flebay or simular.

    EDIT: check his PSU can cope before you do.

    What's the rest of your spec? So long as it's top end then it'd keep going with a agp graphics card for another wee while, otherwise it's probably worth saving your coppers.
