Video/Sound Cards
Tell me some moderatly priced good video and sound cards I should get. I'd like to spend as little as possible but if I have to I'll put out around 200$ a piece, cause that seems average...
I've looked around on newegg but I don't know what I'm going to need. I want to play WoW and the likes. |
To be honest, you dont need to spend over $100 on a sound card. I have a nice 5.1 sound card that wqas around $50 dollars. One of these first two should be fine http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...&Go.x=0&Go.y=0
What are some of your computer specs. Helps when choosing a video card. |
50$??!!!
How much is that in sterling?? £28??!!! For a sound card??!!!!! We've got a brilliant sound card from PCWorld for £8 ($14)!! As for video card, yeah, specs. |
Well, to be honest I did get it for Christmas so im just guessing. It is a really nice sound card though, comes with all kinds of applications for it too.
|
Get a Voodoo 2, you can get 2 of them in put them in this new thing called SLI mode...
|
The geforce 6600(GT) is a nice mid range card. I have the 6600GT and I can play just about any game there is with a decent fps. I dont know what the price is right now, but I bought it around christmas for 200, maybe they're cheaper now.
|
Well, I just got the computer off ebay for 300 bucks. It's going to be my D2/Porn computer. And its not that great, so I decided just to leave it as is so I won't be upgrading its cards. When I get my good computer (soon) I'll give you the specs.
|
And then they will output something to the equivilent of a GeForce 3. I'm not even sure if you can use SLI with cards that old.

The only thing that would make that better is an AMD processor and motherboard. Since they are better gaming machines.

*eye twitches*
|
Oh boy.
|
I take it you believe the big name company is still better. AMD is a stronger gaming processor which is a widely known fact. An Iintel Pentium is better for everything else, which is also a fact...and well, celearons are useless. worst thing ever. Trust me, I'm a computer nerd in this field.

I think I'm gonna go whore myself out in the city and then go buy that thing.
|
It's actually cheaper to custom build a machine than to buy a premade one. PLus it's easier to upgrade since you know everything you have.
Not a bad machine Mantralord |
