BF2S Forums 7600 gt

I have a 7600 but it's PCI-E so I don't know if it's it's better or the same compared to yours

PCI-e = AGP

There is no difference between equal AGP and PCI-e cards.

Don't buy into the marketing bullshit.

K Sarge. I didn't know

I know people running Bf2 maxed out 6x AA /w no lag...

I thought PCI-E was faster than AGP

best card for agp is a sapphire radeon x1600 xt 256mb

That's not true. The bandwidth on PCI-e is much better. A 7600 GT should run slightly better on PCI-e, but not a lot. It's not marketing bullshit, PCI-e is a better interface.

Anything faster than a 7600 GT will not run at full speed on a AGP port. There are a lot of differences between a bus system (like PCI-e) and an AGP system (which is port based, direct processor interface). The 7800 AGP cards are a complete waste of money, because AGP 8x does not have the required bandwidth for it to run properly.

Anyone who tells you AGP is as good as PCI-e doesn't know what they are talking about. PCI-e is MUCH better.

It is. Significantly.

Nope. PCI-e has more potential for the future, but in the current midrange generation of video cards it is not needed. Did you know that nVidia reduced the clock speeds on their 6600GT AGP cards to make the PCI-e versions seem better?

Yeah. I hung out on hardware forums for far too long.

hey i just got a problem....i tried setting the game fear to 1280*1024 resolution....but then it came up with a message saying......WARNING OUT OF RANGE 76.7hz - 76.5 hz and now i cant play any games set at that resolution.....wtf can anyone help please..

your monitor cannot support more than 75hz at that resolution, it seems. There are command line codes that you can use to change the resolution manually but I don't know what they are just now..

Did you know that nvidia took the 256MB PCI-e cards off the market? Because 2 of them in SLI was faster than their then high-end cards like the 6800 Ultra and a LOT cheaper.

PCI-e is quicker, for lower end cards there is no difference. For a card like the 7600GT there will be a difference (there has been in every benchmark I've ever either seen or run). The reason being that the 7600GT is approaching the bandwidth limit for AGP and the port does not always run at full capacity. You can get AGP versions of higher end cards than the 7600GT but the performance is not as good as PCI-e versions.

You are right that for lower end cards there is no difference, but once you start approaching the bandwidth limit AGP can't hack the pace.

I know people who have a 10 GHZ processor that runs on light instead of electricity.

But do they have anything to do with the topic?

nope.

Im saying I know people w/ 7600GT's running Bf2 maxed 6x AA.
Lose the aTTITUDE BITCH.

werent u bitching about Bf2 week ago, saying how 1.4 fucked u over....saying ur done...lol...i bet u feel stupid now, still here and all.

i have a evga 7600gt ko @ 600/1600 pci-e and run bf2 10by7 2xaa and runs smooth but not perfect with 10 players+ on my face 40 to 90fps mostly 60.... 40 may seem ok but not for me. 50fps+ = perfect

btw nvidia cards dont do 6xaa but 8x and is not listed in game
