acumos Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Hi to all, I'm upgrading my bad GeForce MX4000. I have a power supply with only 12A@12V, and I don't want to spend a lot of money. I can buy a PNY Nvidia 6200 256MB DDR 64bit; Radeon 9600xt 128bit; Nvidia 5700 Ultra; Radeon 9800 Platinum or PRO; X1050. All for 30-40 € what do you say?

spoonie Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 fx5200 is a good, really cheap option if you just need one DVI out and don't need much 3d power. i see them used for $20-30.

Conan Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I assume you want to use your new agp card with osx86, so it might be wise to check the hardware compatibility list first before spending 40 bucks on a card that has no quartz exterme/ core image support. Another tip is to hunt Ebay (or whatever auction site you prefer) for a cheap card with a dead (or near dead) cooling fan, completely useless because it crashes al the time. So offer 5 bucks for it and pop a new fan (electronics store) on it and your (most of the time) good to go Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/81799-advice-for-agp-cheap-graphic-card/#findComment-586631 Share on other sites More sharing options...
