Well, I built my tower 5 some years ago so I put an AGP Video Card slot in there since that was the leading type of video card at the time.

 

I don't want to buy a whole another tower so I just need your recommendations on a great AGP card that is (preferably) capable of DirectX 10 Games.

i dont this there are ant DX10 AGP cards. there might be 8600's or 8300's. search newegg.

I looked at your sig and have hated you since.

 

i think the 8800 gts is good, and its cheaper than the gtx and gt. but if you want to pony up a couple hundred, go with the GT.

Everybody keeps recommending PCIx cards when he said in his first post he wants AGP.

 

Theres really nothing good you can do. Since your PC is 5 years old a high end VGA or one with DX10 would just bottleneck your system. Probably better off saving 300 or 400 more bucks and getting a newer lower end system with PCIx.

a new mobo would be just as good.

save your money for a new computer if you want to play newer games, you can build a really nice system for around 800 bucks, even a decent one for 500

a new mobo would be just as good.

 

 

But then he'd have to get different ram, cpu, and a better PSU, so that everything is compatible.

no. i almost guarantee that he wouldn't have to buy all that stuff new.

 

 

the only thing is he would probably have to reformat his HDD.

i thought the 8800 gt was the cheaper card that kicks ass.

no, most likely he would need new cpu and ram at least, harddrive would probably not be compatable either.

Well upgrading to a new MB for a PC that is 5 years old doesnt make a whole lot of sense. So he could upgrade to a better MB but then it would probably be a different skt. Then the Ram would have to be exactly the same also (ddr300, ddr500 etc..) And im sure his PSU is no more 400w and its 5 years old.

i have an HDD that's 4 years old.

 

the secret is finding a mobo that supports everything just has a pci slot.
