[Flafurs] Gaming PC - $800

Thu Nov 8 21:51:31 EST 2007

 a $600 video card is a total
waste of money. there is NO game or motherboard out there to date that
can use those cards to the fullest not to mention you have to run vista
to even use direct x 10. and oh yah... 10.1 games wont play on direct x
10 cards. Truth is that any person who buys 1 of those cards will
replace that card in the same time ill replace my x1650. Because of the
way games are designed it is impossible to say that a $600 card will
last you longer than and $80. Im not going to spend money on a card
just because it can output 120 fps because your monitor most likely can
not output even close to that and your eye can only see at roughly 60.

It'll take alot more than $600 to throw down on an entire computer if you intend on having a super gaming computer.? $500-$600 would be about how much you'd pay for the strongest video card alone in now's time.? Go look at the price for a Geforce8800 GTX, or a Geforce8800ULTRA.?? Mind you this is not including the new AMD and Intel Duo?Processors and Motherboards that have been released which are priced around $200 or more?each.

(You can look all kinds of places, but a truly GREAT card that'll last for years instead of months, mid-range cards, they all cost about the same)

?

You may could getaway with buying a cheaper one, but for what reason??? So it can last 4 months before it dies out from technological upgrades and you'd have to buy a new one???

?

Here's the part where my computer?comes in (it's one of those computers).? Yeah, it's AGP and it's obsolete now as no more AGP cards?are being created anymore (so far).? But the card itself is strong enough to play Xbox360 games on high..?when there is a technological advancement, I'm sure all you'd have to do is?sacrifice some settings in order to continue?playing (medium settings or lower).? That's just how it goes..? and why I'm not selling my computer for over $1000.? I'm willing to go down to $500.

I know my computer is AGP.? But it's the strongest AGP out there, and I play Call of Duty 2, Battlefield 2 type games with no slow downs whatsoever on high settings.? So until new?games come out with some super major upgrade that requires a New Console System entirely I doubt the card will be THAT much 'obsolete' for some time to come.

Key word is AGP which is quickly becoming obsolete. plus AGP max data rate is 2 GB/s in 1 direction PCIE is 4GB/s out and 4GB/s back. And yes you can create a gaming system for under 750. for the last 5 years I have been making computers that can play ANY game on the market and somtimes i can even make them for less then 600. You just have to know what products to buy and where to get them. If you do it right you can get perfectly stable equipment for super cheap.

This Gainward 7800 is the FASTEST card and will probably always be the fastest AGP card ever made, since it was around the last before the switch to PCIe motherboards.? There were only a few of them made?because of the difficulty of bridging them from a PCIe make. 

So it's basically a PCIe card.. but in an AGP model, and just as fast as the actual thing.

Yea, you can go lower, but then you run the risk of getting crappy
third party equipment, that might break in a couple months, or be DOA.
