It is my personal preference that old threads be revived rather than starting new threads of the same topic, irregardless of how old the thread creation date is.

A proper PCIe GPU for AMD Athlon64 3700+
Posted on 2015-02-22, 18:20
My XP box currently built on an Asus K8N-E Deluxe with an Athlon64 3700+.It is AGP only and the current GPU is a ATI Radeon HD 3650 with 1GB RAM. I recently scored a better socket 754 board, an Asus K8N4-E-Deluxe, which has PCIe slots. My intention is upgrading the machine without changing anything …

If you play at 1920*1200 with AA and stuff then I think a Geforce GTS 250 with 1GB memory would be optimal but other G92 cards such as the 8800 GTS 512 and 9800 GTX should also work well. The 9800 GX2 probably creates a bit extra overhead which isnt optimal with a single core K8 CPU. If you want …

I wouldn't go for any NV hardware that's older than G80 because that older hardware has quite inferior texture filtering and anti-aliasing quality. ATI's R5xx hardware is better too. R400 is as well but might not be fast enough for ya. I picked up a 1GB HD 2900 XT a few months back for an Athlon 64 …

g92 cards like the 8800gt, 8800gts 512, 9800gt(x) and gts250 are usually found very cheap (atleast here in the netherlands). g80 cards (8800gts 640mb an 8800gtx) did have a lot of problems with solder joints and lots got ''reflowed'' with the oven trick so be careful, after a few months they usually …

Thanks a lot for all the suggestions. I found a couple of 8800 and 7900s but I decided to buy 9800GX2 since considering the prices and attitudes of the sellers (i.e. responses to my messages) it was the best option. It arrived today. One of the most beaten up parts I ever put my hands on, I really …

A 9800GX2 is a bit overkill but was going to say that one couldn't go wrong with a x800 or a x1900 and the 7800gtx was also a good bet as some DX10 games will struggle on a AM1 754 build.

G70 introduced transparency AA though. http://techreport.com/review/8466/nvidia-geforce-7800-gtx-graphics-processor/16 G7x doesn't support gamma corrected MSAA, meaning it's less effective than ATI MSAA, and has a maximum of 4X MSAA whereas ATI supports 6X. G7x also has inferior texture filtering …

If you check the link I gave it says it introduced gamma correct AA as well. Its just a small mistake anyway. It's from a review of the card that goes into detail of the AA modes.
