Help With ATI ALL IN Wonder 2006 Edition

[matrix141038]

I need Help with the ATI ALL In wonder 2006 Edition 256MB AGP Graphics Card its the 9600 one. What are the optimal setting to run this graphics card on for games like halo, medal of honor allied assault, and racing games because the frame rate is kind of jumpy. I also really need to know if this graphics card needs a cooling fan because non of them come with one and if it does where do I plug it at one the graphics card because I dont see where I would plug it in at. THANKS

'Playable' settings vary between people. Halo will run badly because it's a badly written steaming turd of a game anyway (IMO of course). If it doesn't run well enough, then reduce the settings until it does. I would suggest AA (AntiAliasing) and AF (Anisotropic filtering) be the first things you turn off, if you have them on. I would expect 1024x768 with medium to high settings would be very smooth with the games you mentioned, but at the end of the day you just have to fiddle until you're comfortable.

A 9600 series card is far from high-end these days, so don't expect it to run modern games at high res with all the eye candy. It just won't.

If it didn't (originally) come with a fan, it's fine, unless you live somewhere with a stupidly high ambient temperature (death valley?) or something. It's been designed to function out of the box, as is. If you desperately want to attach a fan, Most aftermarket ones come with a straight-through molex connector so it would plug directly into the power supply, not the graphics card itself.
