My motherboard, which is decent only goes up to an AGP slot, and I'm currently using a ATI Radeon 9800 (128mb) video card and am wondering what AGP cards are better than that?
Is there a chart or something that someone can link me to?
If I go to current sites like tomshardware.com, they only graph out newer cards....|||To figure this out, you'd need to go through the Tom's hardware archives, as they don't have cumulative comparisons. You can go to the last AGP roundup before they switched to their new system
http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/07/05/v…
then compare the relative performance of your card on that chart to the performance of the cards in Desktop VGA Charts 2005.|||AGP is fine. As far as a radeon 9800 128...
You can choose from either a 256mb ddr3 or
a 512mb ddr3 as long as it is an AGP interface.

Any new card running DDR3 thru a 256bit memory bus will outperform it. I suggest a 512MB card. If you plan on using Vista or have it go with an 8000 series Nvidia or 2000 series ATI card. Just be sure you have a power supply that can handle the new cards requirements in both watts and +12V amps.
