Video Card Question

2011-02-10 Thread Bruce
Hello, I have two video cards: GeForce FX5200 AGP 8X 64MB Video Memory. Radeon 9200LE PCI 128MB Video Memory. Which one would be considered to be the better of the two? What is considered more important: AGP, or more memory? Bruce -- You received this message because you are a member of

I'd say that the GeForce would be better at games when you play at a lower res. but the Radeon can drive bigger monitors. On Feb 10, 2011, at 2:10 PM, Bruce wrote: Hello, I have two video cards: GeForce FX5200 AGP 8X 64MB Video Memory. Radeon 9200LE PCI 128MB Video Memory. Which

I used macs for more than a year now, but i wouldn't consider myself new to them. It's just that I never messed around with the video cards. Btw, if you want to ask me about the pc to mac transition, it was great. macs are better like always. If an Nvidia GeForce 2 MX/MX440 PC video card

I would use a video card that has 256MB of VRAM. Most of my computers have that as a minimum, even though i almost never use graphics intensive programs, but just in case i have it there, it will be there. I reccommend an Nvidia GeForce 6800 GT with 256MB of VRAM. It can also have an extra 128MB

Sorry if this questions seems to naive/basic, but my experience with AGP cards is limited. I bought a flashed nVidia GeForce FX5200 128Mb to replace the 64Mb of a late 2004 PowerMac G5 dual 2GHz. The FX5200 is shorter than the original ATI Radeon 9600 Pro, so the hook of the GeForce card

If it is longer, be careful and try not to damage anything inside. Put it in carefully, and you'll be good to go. It will fit in, but i don't know about the hook. The hook may be some obstrustion to the system. I have expirience with an Nvidia GeForce 6200 GT with 256MB VRAM, it is very long, and

The FX 5200 is shorter that the original card, so the hook used to secure it to the AGP slot latch is lined with the slot and has to get inside if I want the card to fit. It`s the same lenght as the Rage 128 fitted originally to early G4 PowerMacs (I had one to compare), so it would perfectly
