2 Video Cards, one old PCI 32MB, other 128MB AGP......?

Its funny because I tried upgrading to a new GEFORCE 6800, and it wouldnt work because I lack the power supply.

So what I was using was the 128 AGP card, so when I took out the 6800 Card, my older AGP card doesnt seem to power the monitor.

It actually gives me a new hardware, SCSI detected.

I cant do anything after that.

It asks me for CD, but it never seems to load.



But my old 32 PCI works just fine.

I even tried having both of them together.

ONLY WHEN MONTIOR IS CONNECTED TO PCI will I get a display.



I went into BIOS to make sure the AGP was the defaulted port.



But still, nomatter what I do I cant seem to get it to revert back to the AGP CARd.

Anyone got any ideas?



They are all the same brand PNY -- so I thought the drivers would work for all of them.

It did when I installed.

But now that Im removing, and adding the older one, it doesnt seem to work!



help please|||go to the website for the 128 video card and download the drivers for it.



uninstall every video driver, saving the pci drivers as last to uninstall. now with ALL video drivers un-installed power down and put the 128 card in, windows should install generic drivers so windows will run, then run the new driver file you downloaded.



If that doesn't work, its possible you fried the 128 card or it just went bad. static shock will kill it.



good luck

Is the PNY Nvidia GeForce MX 440 64mb AGP video card good?

There's one on craigslist for 4 bucks. I don't play any games on the computer I'm putting it in- just basic stuff like youtubeing and yahoo answering; and maybe solitare. Thanks.|||That card is fine for what you are wanting to do with it, it beats onboard graphics, might even help your computer run faster than just using the onboard adapter.



Ryan|||It's old, but it should be able to play solitaire and render flash movies (probably not in high-def). Before buying this card, make sure your computer has an AGP slot. Usually computers 5-8 years ago came with AGP slots, and older computers have PCI slots. If your computer is relatively new (less than 3 years), it probably only has a PCI-express slot, so then you can't use the AGP.

Can I use a AGP 8X Video Card in a AGP 4x Motherboard?

My PC is a Pentium 3 with 512 RAM and a Intel 815EP Motherboard, which is AGP 4X (my video card is a Geforce 2 GTS 32MB). Can I use a AGP8x 128/256 MB with that PC?|||yes but it will only run at 4x not 8x|||no, u can not use agp 8x mode.|||Nope, but it works the other way aroud!|||I dont think you can. Try checking the motherboard manual or searching for you're motherboard online check the spicifications on it.|||Yes it will just run at the slower speed.

Is my computer compatible with BFG GeForce 7300 GT / 512MB DDR2 / AGP 8x video card?

my computer has:



Windows Xp pro 32 bit

intel celeron D cpu 3.46GHZ

memory: 512 ram

motherboard: MSI MS-7222

Power supply: 400 watt

Graphic card slot: Agp 8x



What worries me the most is the pwer supply. Do u think my 400 watt power supply can support this video card because someone on a forum said his video card can't work until he upgrade to 450 watt power supply while the minimun requirement on tigerdirect is 400 watt only.|||Blamay makes a good point. AGP no longer means Accelerated Graphics Port. It now means Aim for the Garbage Pile. If you MUST use AGP then the HD 4670 is the best one out there but having only half the bandwidth (and therefore speed) of even a PCI-Express v1.0 (and 1/4 of PCI-Express v2.0) even the Radeon HD 4670 won't cut it. And at the price of $110, you may as well set fire to your money. I'd recommend you get the following:



Motherboard ($60)

CPU ($56)

2GB RAM ($37.50)

Sapphire Radeon HD 4670 Overclocked ($65)

|||your using agp 8x card . (which is a bit old) . 450w or more power will only be needed for greater performance vgas that are compatiable with pci express slots . since your card is agp its going to be orite .



for your knowledge i had a old computer about a year ago which i ran a 3 ghz lga intel processor , 2 gb ddr 2 ram , with a 8500 gt 512 mb pci express vga card with a 350 w power supply . so for your system i guess 400 w is more than enough . so no worries .|||Sure it will work. The question is, do you want to waste money on some old AGP card and motherboard to upgrade? I wouldnt consider it an upgrade to begin with. You cant make an old board do new tricks. If you are lookin to play the latest games, you wont do it with this set up

Is my BFG Asylum GeForce FX5200 256MB AGP video card Compatible with direct x 10?

i want direct x 10 my card is a BFG Asylum GeForce FX5200 256MB AGP i have windows xp pro sp2 120gb hard drive 512mb of ram im upgrading to 1gb i want dx 10 cause its sweet im a big gamer but havnt played on pc that much so i built this computer to game with please let me no if i can use direct x 10|||If you really want to play newer games, you should start considering a new graphics card. FX 5200 is pretty outdated (2003 era). Its clock rate is slow, has only 4 pixel shaders and 2 vertex shaders and supports Shader 2.0 and DX9.



Consider these DX10 cards that support Shader 4.0 and available in AGP format:

Cheap= ATI HD 2400 Pro or XT

Better= ATI HD 2600 Pro or XT|||Nope... DX9 only|||try downloading it, the trial version should be free|||well first FX5200 is direct X 9.0 it means you can't even get full hardware use in DX9 C . other thing there in nothing called DX 10 under Xp only some twiks , they say DX10 has some advantes over DX 9 although i have never found something serious .

Tell you the truth 5200Fx is shader 2.0 and even with that it can't be very good , i advise you to change to play some games



Good luck

Where does GeForce 6100 onboard rank versus actual video cards?

I am having trouble finding a benchmark list that includes 6100 and seperate video cards. Is it better than Fx 5500? FX 5200? Radeon 9550? Radeon 9200? Even though the core speed is much higher at 425 MHz I am betting it doesn't perform as well as an AGP card at 250/300 MHz.|||Nvidia 6100 only runs on 2 pixel pipelines. It sucks in 3D graphics. Fx5500 and ATI 9550 have 4 pixel pipelines and therefore perform better in games.|||Horrible. MAYBE 5200. Core speed means nothing unless you're compare the same core.|||Not really sure but AGP is slowly going away. Many motherboards come with PCI Express which offers much better speeds than AGP can offer.

Which of these AGP Video cards are better?

Now before you go saying PCI-E this and that, save your breath i know its alot better thats not what im getting at.



Im revamping an older custom built computer that was made back in 2004 and not sure which card to put into it. i searched around for the best AGP card you can get and i came across 2 different cards the:



ATI Radeon HD 4650 with 1Gb GDDR2 DRAM



And



Nvidia Geforce 7800 GS with 256MB GDDR3 of DRAM



to me the ATI card looks higher performance but in the video card category's i fall short handed

which one will be best gaming wise. and is there a AGP card better then these listed that i may have overlooked?



idk if this helps but this is my rig:



Intel Pentium 4 2.36Ghz=== Upgrading to a Pentium 4 HT Extreme Edition 3.4ghz

1GB ( 512 Mb x 2) DDR RAM 333 Mhz=== Upgrading to 2Gb (1GBx 2) 400Mhz

20 Gb WD 7200 RPM EIDE HDD (Primary)===Upgrading to a 320BG 7200 RPM SATA 1 HDD

80 GB Barracuda 4 7200 RPM EIDE HDD ( Slave)===Keeping this as a slave

Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE Sound Card===Upgrading to a Sound Blaster X-FI Xtreme Gamer

Nvidia Geforce FX 5500 Video Card 256Mb GDDR DRAM|||I had a 7800 GS until recently, and loved it, but Tom's Hardware rates the 4650 as the better card. I'd go with the Tom's on this one and get the ATI card.



Check http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/rade… for a Hierarchy Chart. The higher up on the table the card, the better it is. Tom's ranked the HD 4650 one rung higher than the 7800 GS.



I don't know where you've looked, but the HD4670 is AGP as well. It is about 40 bucks more, but I think that is the best AGP chipset overall.|||ok AGP get the powercolor ATI Radeon AGP 1 gb DDR3 HD 4670 for about $109.00 That's what i got and it overloaded my CPU and i had to overclock the cpu to keep up



these are the last of the best AGP cards around see below|||the 1 gb will give better performance

as it has 4 the ram

Is the EVGA GeForce FX5200 128MB 8x AGP Video Card able to make my computer play Spore?

I have all other needs covered I just need to know if this specific video card can let me Play Spore on my Dell with Windows XP?|||Umm... No.... Definitely no.



Well, actually it can run. But run without it running like a slideshow? No. Sorry get at least a 6600GT or at least bare minimu, a GeForce FX5500.|||Spore Specs

Standalone cards that are installed in vanilla PCI slots (not PCIe or PCIx or AGP), such as some GeForce FX variants, will perform poorly.

its a good one but try using the latest agp but make sure ur system supports it by the way i have used fx5200 and its pretty good|||its pretty crap. if you're looking at upgrading consider a 2600xt or a 3850, or if you want nvidia theres an agp 7600|||as long as ur grapfic card has pixel shader it can play it with a card u have now|||doubt it

or buy a agp converter if they have one|||Just google it .... I found this:



http://www.amazon.com/NVIDIA-GeForce-6600-GT-256MB/dp/B000BWEIF0|||www.newegg.com and www.tigerdirect.com have great prices not sure if they have that exact card but they will have plenty of AGP cards to choice from as long as you go with AGP your fine. not sure why anyone would recommend such an old card though|||ebay

That one is better than what you were looking for.|||Dude I would just get the 3850 512MB AGP instead, it's a lot faster.

Do you own one? If so can I get your opinion of it and some of the games you play with it?



Thanks1|||It is a very good mid end card. It is NOT dx10 compatible but it will give very nice output. It is somewhat of a power hog ( better = more power used) so make sure you have a good power supply. If you get a good deal on it, go for it. It will probably be the highest ranking agp card as they are being phased out but cards in this range will stick around for a while. If you have both agp AND pcie slots, get the pcie. Have fun, and frag one for me!|||8800gtx nvidia better
