Hi all
I have an ATI Radeon 9600pro 256MB 128bitDDR AGP gfc.
GPU Clock 398 MHz (original: 398 MHz)
RAMDAC Clock 400 MHz
Field Value
Real Clock 196 MHz (DDR) (original: 200 MHz)
Effective Clock 392 MHz
Bandwidth 6272 MB/s
As i understand it it runs at 400 core and 200 memory
System specs:
CPU Type Intel Pentium 4E, 3000 MHz (15 x 200)
1024mbDDr ram
80GB ATA 400mhz hard drive
Motherboard Name Intel La Crosse D865GLC
My box Is a MIDIA TX 300W black ATX case, which I suppose refers mainly to the psu.
I looked at some nvidia cards, but most are pci-e
Then i decided i would like to buy the GeCube ATi Radeon X1950PRO - 256MB - AGP
GeCube Radeon X1950XT, 256MB, 256bit, DDR3, AGP X8, 36 PIXEL SHADER PROCESSORS, CORE CLOCK 575MHZ, MEMORY CLOCK 1380MHZ, SUPPORTS DIRECT X 9.0C, SHADER MODEL 3 & OPEN GL, ATI AVIVO TECHNOLOGY, DOUBLE DUAL-LINK DVI, AVIVO
The reason is that i play flightsims like lock on and pacific fighters
and would like more detail because i play wit labels off and it should make it easier to see more with a better gfc (is this true?)
Is the psu sufficient or should i upgrade it and to what minimum.
what is more important with gfx? core or memory.
Another thing i would like to mention is that i recently bought medieaval 2: total war. i would like t crank the graphics up, but my current card takes a lot of stress with the shading details.
If i have to upgrase my psu first, would it help my gfx capabilities on current card?
If not and i can't use my new proposed card i would rather wait to buy a new comp and tell the guys they must build it spesifacally for gaming. But it will take very long, perhaps a year.
Sorry for the long post, but this is really important to me. My current card has never really given me problems and i can bear with what i have a bit longer if i have to instead of spending money witch will be a waste. But me..
I tend to do stupid things which I usually regret , cause the pcgeeks down here.. never tell you the details so that they can sell their products.
Responses would be greatly appreciated.
