Wanted: video card
My youngest son is running Windows 7 32bit on a PC with an E6750 core 2 duo on an ASUS P5N SLI board & 4GB RAM & a 512MB 8800GT graphics card. (I bump my PCs down the line to my kids as I upgrade, it's the only thing as a parent that I ever do for myself)
I am hoping to upgrade his old graphics card with anything even slightly newer. He mostly plays Garry's mod, Minecraft & Kerbal Space Program although I did buy him one of the Sim Cities over Christmas during a STEAM sale.
I am EXTREMELY limited for funds though as I am still only working 4 hours a day as I recover from my surgical 'event' in October but if you have a either another 8800GT so I could try SLI, or a better AGP card I would be most grateful. Thanks!

After seeing and hearing about the amazing rigs that many people have on these forums; it seems rather silly for me to the specs of my very modest gaming PC. It works and that's good enough for me.

AGP? Easy on those meds there RoninRonin wrote:but if you have a either another 8800GT so I could try SLI, or a better AGP card I would be most grateful. Thanks!

Anyhow, I have a Sapphire 5750 1GB that I'd probably let go for like $30 shipped. You can see how they compare here. Not a tremendous upgrade, but an upgrade nonetheless. It's been sitting in the closet for a number of years now, so I'll warranty it for the purchase price if you have any problems.

I might have a 6870 (card is freakin' huge so it might not fit in some cases) for sale soon but it's PCIe and not AGP. I'm sure AGP stuff is hard to get a hold of now-a-days.
Wait....does that motherboard have AGP slots? I ask because it seems that it isn't old enough for that.

No Its PCIe, As Egg said, Ronin needs to take it easy on the meds. 


If you make it idiot proof, they will just make a better idiot.
Re: Wanted: video card
Man I have been out of it. I have the flu now so I'm really wiped. So the P5N board is PCI-e not AGP? I could have sworn the 8800Gt was AGP but It's been so long since I messed with it I must have forgotten. I forgot my wife's birthday is coming up fast so disposable income has to go to that right now but I know a video card upgrade would really be great for him.

I might have a GTX 480 for sale, would you possibly be interested in that?
