if you only have pci slots then the 5500 is the best your going to find (the 6200 is very rare). the shadows and shaders are what make the graphics decent and with this card you wont see any big increase in graphics detail but you should get muchsmoother gameplay.

i found a 7900gt for 179£ i think that would be a bargain... but why is it that cheap? its make is "point of view" i never heard of that make makes that work with ati and nvidia, like the sapphire [Edited on 8/14/2006]

Hey all its me again with another graphics card question. here it goes:


Well i am building this really good game comuptor that i bought all these parts too( like a LED case, great gaming motherboard, like the second best cpu(was first before the intel cores came out) and a graphics card) this is my first time building a computor so i am running into problems alot and currently a problem that i dont know how to fix ( but thats a different issue mabe some one can help me fix). Anyway I am wondering what level the graphics card is. i dont think i can find it on the list but i found things similar to it. the Graphics card is a e-GeForce 7900 GT KO. Please someone replie please as soon as possible. thanks

its a high range, but you should get the 7900gtx its like 20-50 $ difference and way better

Posted by: Calvin023 its a high range, but you should get the 7900gtx its like 20-50 $ difference and way better

i thought it would be in the ultra high range... anyway i already bought it

the 7900GT is in the ultra high end

Ultra-High end: (high detail, 1280x1024 or higher) nVidia Geforce 7800GT/GTX 256/512MB^ ATI X1900GT 256MB^ ATI X1800XL/XT 256/512MB^ nVidia Geforce 7900GT 256MB^

and calvin the 7900GTX costs about £100 more than the GT

oh, lol

Having graphics fun with AOE3. System had GeForce4 Ti4200 card and the AOE3 splash screens all worked fine but the main menu screen was just slabs of colour with streaky people wandering about leaving slug trails. The slabs hid the menu so you couldn't exit or anything - just had to reset out. Thought graphics card might need to be slightly better so got a GeForce 6200A and although the card works fine with other games, AOE3 just gives a blank screen when it runs. No splash movies or anything, just a black screen and a nice mouse pointer. Sound is fine! The PSU is 300W and I have noticed that 400W is mentioned earlier in the thread. Could this be the problem or am I missing a tweak somewhere?

But i have the GT KO. are the GT and the GT KO the same? Anyway i was wondering if you could get a picture to give me a idea how good this graphic card is. thanks

the KO is slightly better than the Standard GT
