GeForce 7800 GS

Post by MIKE JG »

Anyone have experience with this card? I have an older machine with an AGP interface so as far as I can tell, this card is pretty much the best I can do for AGP compatible graphics cards. It is no longer in production and as far as I can tell, is only available through limited sources.

My system specs are:

P4 2.4
1.25 GB RAM


I guess my question is this: Will my machine handle this card ok? The card itself seems to be a good fit for FS9 and Windows XP with good memory throughput but it appears that I may have to buy it used.

On that note, has anyone else bought a "used" graphics card and if so, did it last or do you regret going the used route?

I don't know that I have much choice as far as upgrading my graphics at this point. I can't afford right now to get a new machine so I'd like to at least put one last upgrade into the current one and get another couple of years out of it. I plan to updgrade the RAM as well but would like to start with the graphics card first.

One final question: Are there currently any new AGP capable cards being produced?
