Good AGP 8x VGA card

[TheJesus]

My video card is displaying all sorts of weird s**t and wont render anything properly. It's okay with windows general crap, but as soon as the GPU is called upon it dies a death.... soooo, what is a good AGP 8x card that people recommend. I have an old ATI Radeon 800xt and dont really want to shell out too much and PCI-E I dont have... so that's a no go as well... I've seen an ATI Radeon 1950pro 512MB for £104 which seems okay, but I'm out of touch with what's good as I dont use my PC for games... just fancy some CS2 when I move into my new place as my mate has it... Quake 1 and a bit of C&C generals, so as you can see I dont really play current games lol

^^^^^ - That's probably the best bet between price and performance, m8.

You could stretch a little further, but to be honest, it's overpriced for an AGP card....

is that GeForce better then? I used to swear by Nvidia but when I got my ATI at the time it got much better scores in the tests? I'm guessing Nvidia are the daddy's again?

X1950 Pro (I think there's also a X1950 XT on AGP to) is the better card chap.

cheers Hoffmeister, I'll prolly get that one then as I cant be doing listening to my house mate playing CS when I cant get involved and whoop his pansy ass on it
