New vid card :D
 

It's double mine lol. Very nice.

Very good vid card! You can play all games with that card*

*depending on your PC

yeah thats a very nice card, i got the lil brother to that one(256mb) and i got it overclocked(gotta love the nvidia software) to 500mhz for clock speeds 1400 mhz memory and even at the stock clock speeds(450mhz) it would run anything i threw at it...does that card have the ddr3 memory also?? mine does, thats kinda why i only bought the 256 mb card cuz the memory has 256bit interface whereas ddr2 memory is only 128bit interface. you will be super happy with that card man...look me up on xfire, i usually playn bf2 almost every night lol.

this is the card i bought, im happy with it, you'll be super happy with yours.

hmm no its only ddr2 memory. then again i got it for 180. Would that be my virtual memory? I got a pop up saying it was 'too low'

But so far im amazingly happy with it. Every game has an insainly big difference, even CS:S. I jumped on RvS to see if my FPS had improved but it doesn't seem to have at all, said i was averaging about 40 i used to average about the same with my old one.

maybe try to turn the settings up a lil bit and see if it helps..sounds backwards i know, but like with bf2 when i turned up the settings the performance of my card improved.

i did before i played, i went into the nvidia settings as well and set it to quality over performance tho i think thats what it was.

Hey what is over clocking and how do u do it?

virtual memory is the space on your harddrive that your computer uses once the physical memory has run out. so if you have 512mb ram, and you're using 634mb, the extra 122mb is coming off your harddrive. it's slower than the physical memory, and you have to have enough space alloted on the hdd for it. when you run out of the alloted space, you run out of virtual memory.

as far as agp goes, that's a pretty good card. i think there are only 1-2 cards faster for that platform. you're lucky you got one, it's pretty hard to find good agp cards these days.

as someone said, you'll definetly get more performance out of it, as long as your rig is fast enough to keep up with it. if you're using a 1.2ghz celeron and 256mb ram with that card, it's like throwing a ferrari motor into a pinto. ya it's fast, but you're not gonna be able to take advantage of it. well, ferrari is being generous, i'll call it a 6cyl mustang enging :)

edit: overclocking is making a component run faster than what it was originally intended to. your core clock is 420mhz, and your memory clock is 800mhz (effective, 400x2). you see where it says (400mhz standard) by your core clock? that means that the standard clock for that chip is 400mhz, and it's already been factory overclocked (oc'd) to 420mhz by the 3rd party manufacturer. a modest 20mhz overclock. if you have adequate cooling, the proper software, and the balls for it, you can push the core and the memory to it's limit.

Yeha I bought a Radeon X1900 GT a few months back, i could of saved money with Nvidia, It's a really nice card though i might add, I want to OC it but i need a new case and fans =p

there's a pretty good case. i've got one myself that i bought for a new mod project. it looks 100% better in person than it does in the pics. i would recommend some light modification for better cooling though. get a couple 120mm fans with decent cfm and you're golden :)
