ASUS A7N8X, what graphic card?

[markjonesx]

I'm currently running a A7N8X mobo and a Gforce4 Ti 4600 128mb graphics card.

What's the best graphics card I can get for the mobo that will match up the FSB's, I don't like a choking system.............

what kind of processor do you have?

A 9800pro or 6600GT will probably be your best bet.

 

[nick1985]

what is your processor and RAM?

I also have a nforce2 board with a geforce4 TI. Just bought one of the refurbished geforce 6800's from newegg for $149 - good deal since they usually sell for around $200. A radeon 9800pro is also a good buy at about $90 used in the forsale forums.

Don't really see a need to upgrade my oc'd 2.2ghz XP yet, but want high resolutions and aa/af now

I had a A7V8X and man was it a pain the the a$$! It wouldn't work if you didn't get the bus speed just right.

...6600GT or 9800Pro

Fixed

I'm running an AMD 2600 with 1GB PC3200 RAM.

 

[edmundoab]

it should be able to handle the 6800s, or X800s AGPs

 

[markjonesx]

Sure the FSB's match, so I won't get any choking?

You can even run a 6800GT with no noticeable bottleneck.

I usually run my XP mobile at 2.4ghz (faster than an XP 3200+), but I set it back to 1.8ghz (XP 2500 speed), and loosened my ram timings way up. I forgot about it and played games like D3, Far Cry and didn't notice the diff.

IMHO, CPU bottlenecking is overstated here.
