Delerious Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I've got a new computer (Here!) and I was wondering, what's the best video card I could get for it? It's the Intel i810 chipset (PCI slots), and I was also wondering (for anyone else with this Mobo), does GTA3, VC, or SA work on it? Thanks.

Primer43 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Wow, I don't know man. PCI video card.. I've only used them for testing, they aren't made for gaming. I don't think its up to par for these games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K^2 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 If its a new computer, it will probably have PCI Express (aka PCIe) slots. That's what you want for the video card.

Forfit Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 That's the computer you got? I think the best you can get is Nvidia 6200 or ATI 9250...i think those are the names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LT.Diablo Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Wow, I don't know man. PCI video card.. I've only used them for testing, they aren't made for gaming. I don't think its up to par for these games. Don't laugh, I'm currently running PCI with a 64mb GeForce4 MX 440 and I can get SA, VC and GTA III to run, only SA lags slightly.

XMike Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 You're going to need more HD space so you can fit an OS and the games, SA itself will already take up a third of 12 gigs.. San Andreas requires 256 MB of RAM, but it might still run with 128 MB. The Geforce 6200 is PCI and should be compatible so it's probably your best bet.

matthew1g Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I thought those PCs where obsolete Wow. I'm just speechless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane5 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Yeah, the fact that you could only put a PCI card in that thing is the last of your worries. But, you could run a PCI card that would handle GTA3, and Vice City fin, although you would encounter a small bit of congestion with San Andreas. Wow.. 8800 ftw.

That's what you want for the video card. take a look at the link he posted. It's the "new computer" in the OP that threw me off. I see. So no AGP slot at all? It would have been better than a PCI.

K^2 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Well, it is an absolete piece of tech. In the states, people can't give them away for free. I guess, in AU the tech is a bit more expensive (as in Europe), causing people to buy stuff like that. Prior to filing a bug against any of my code, please consider this response to common concerns.

Delerious Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 (edited) Ah, it's not that bad. Besides, I'm pretty happy. I've already got a hard drive that I salvaged from my old computer (40 gigs), so that should do the trick. Also, I'm planning on upgrading to a Pentium III 1.5GHz, and I've got about 4 sticks of SD-RAM here (two 128s will do for now). So I should get a Nvidia GeForce 6200? Edit: Well, I looked for the 6200, and I found that it's only AGP and PCI Express compatible. Is there a different model? http://www.nvidia.com/page/geforce_6200.html Edited August 9, 2007 by Delerious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't being a dick, I was pointing out that as some other people have said that PC is at least 2 generations behind. Anyway, it's not like I'm lording my PC over him or anything, mines hardly top spec either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
