I have a Socket 940 retro rig with the following.
AMD Opteron 285
Asus Sk8V
2gb's of Reg Micron Ram
Nvidia Quadro FX 3000
Win XP 64
SB Audigy 2 ZS
I want to replace this slow Geforce FX based card with a X1950 Pro that I found on ebay but I'd like to know how much of an upgrade I could potentially get?
According to this chart it is a pretty significant upgrade.
Gateway 2000 Case and 200-Watt PSU
Intel SE440BX-2 Motherboard
Intel Pentium III 450 CPU
Micron 384MB SDRAM (3x128)
Compaq Voodoo3 3500 TV Graphics Card
Turtle Beach Santa Cruz Sound Card
Western Digital 7200-RPM, 8MB-Cache, 160GB Hard Drive
Windows 98 SE
Nice, Hopefully the bridge chip on the ATI card doesn't have any issues with the K8T800.
wrote:If you do have issues, bridge less powerful cards are the 6800 GT and the X800 / X850 series.
Thanks for the advice Phil.
I'm bringing this up because I have this really weird Radeon X16xx AGP Card that claims to have DDR2 running at 800mhz (1600 Eff) on a 64 bit bus yet this card is completely unstable on this motherboard, yet somehow works on an 865 PE that I have.
