GEOLINK Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Im trying to ressurect (sp?) a Dell desktop I got from school from this program and im trying to get new parts to make it run it like new. I just need a quite few things to run it better than this HP laptop im using right now. My question is this: What graphics card/video card is good to run MVP at top notch without any lagging that is at a low price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medric822 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Well, I bought a Radion 9250 for about $70-90. Works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medric822 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 You also want to find out what type of card your pc will take. AGP, PCI, and PCI Express. My pc, HP Pavilion, is PCI. AGP is most popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medric822 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 No, thats an N-Vidia GForce 4400. I'll post a pic with my current card in a few. EDIT: Whao! What happened to his post that was right before mine, about my pics from my dynasty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEOLINK Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 srry little nerves about actually getting a graphics card. Thanks for your help Medric keep it coming, I just want to play MVP and enjoy it the RIGHT WAY, that's all. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEOLINK Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 Is NVIDIA GeForce 6150LE with 256MB shared memory (Integrated) any good? What does integrated mean? Does it mean you can add another graphics card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medric822 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Dont know what intergrated means, but you can only use one g-card per monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEOLINK Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 Ohhh found it... means it is in the motherboard like laptops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compmaniac Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Integrated cards aren't as good, because that means it uses RAM from your RAM sticks, so basically it "shares" some memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medric822 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I got an HP Pavilion 40gig for less than a grand. I wish I bought the 80 gig, it was only a few hundred more. Oh, I got it from Walmart 4 yrs ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinerschas2 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 are we looking AGP,PCI, or PCI-Express? heres some suggestions AGP: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814130197 from what i read, this one works pretty well with the game PCI: note, this is the standard pci, usually only manufactured computers would only have pci slots http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814140073 PCI-Express http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814127216 thats probably the safest for the cheapest fyi, this one is mine http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814130075 plays perfect, 1280*1024, all options on, 8xaf, 16AA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marinerschas2 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814143056 this one for sure will run mvp with all settings maxed for an agp, a friend had this one, on a mid range athlon xp system. worked fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think this has PCI slots? Does that graphics card need a PCI slot? http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping...3#defaultAnchor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinerschas2 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 that one has a pci-express slot, which is the best for upgrading. pci-express is currently the best interface you can get. agp is slightly older and being phased out, but is still pretty good pci is the slowest, and should be a last option. check out the x700 i linked too. heres another that would do well also http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814153030 get either the x700 or the x1600 if you like nvidia get this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814125156, or if your willing to spend about 10 bucks more, check out the card i have above. choose one of those, then maybe add another 512mb of ram to get to a gig, and your computer will be a very low priced, perfect sports gaming computer. word of advice, do not get a card with turbocache, this uses your system ram as video card memory. its much the same like integrated graphics, but with a stand alone gpu. my choice of the cards is the x1600 pro, very nice card and will handle most games easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEOLINK Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share Posted February 18, 2007 the Desktop im leaning towards has a NVidia GEForce 6150LE intergraded graphics card... does this mean I cant like put in ATI cards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medric822 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 You can uninstall a card at any time, and re-install it whenever to, as long as you have the disk. You must uninstall it from the program files though first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
