Computer upgrades

Aug 08, 2009 19:47

I was gifted a new case, and I find myself in need of a new graphics card for my computer.  requirements: able to handle 2 monitors, 2 dvi out connections, and an agp connector  for the interface.

I haven't had the chance to look into them lately, so I was wondering if anyone out there had been looking at video cards.

Any suggestions?

You know me and machines todd...so I may be fucked when it comes to giving computer advice.

But, I do know my gfx card is an Nvidia 9800+ from EVGA, and aside from DOA problem I had where it arrived broken, was replaced, and I was re-imbursed I've had nothing but love for it.

It can handle 2 monitors no problem, has 2 DVI outs on the back (thats the white rectangle with the plus-sign shaped inputs on the left and the pincushion inputs on the right...right?) and runs like a dream. It laughs at things like Crysis, Dawn of War 2 and Fallout 3...but chugs on WoW sometimes, to tell you just how innefficient a program it is.)

I got this card at 150 or so last december. I'm sure its a) cheaper and b) obsolete...but it meets yer reqs! :D
