Re: Graphics Card Question

To view TV channels you will need a TV Tuner card. Nothing else will do.

For decent casual gaming I recommend nVidia FX5200 based cards. Now this card is not a TV Tuner card but a plain graphics card. To meet all your requirements, you will need to buy :

1. TV Tuner Card - 1.7k
2.GFX Card - 2.8k

Thanks for your reply. Now, cant I get a card which has both, I mean a GeForce FX5200 with TV-Tuner rather than buying two different card ??
Well if such a card exists then it makes sense to buy that only if the price of it is less than ( 1.8 + 2.7=) 4.5 K.

Yes you can get Graphic cards with a built in TV-Tuner, but those will definately not be below 4k.

Ati's All-in-wonder cards have all the features you are looking for, but to my knowledge even the Radeon 9000 Pro all-in-wonder retails for somewhere around 8-9k

Though I am not sure at all on the prices. I recommend you check out the prices from a dealer or post a thread asking for prices.

If I get the prices I will PM you.

Cheers !

You might need to update you drivers. And install the latest version of DirectX

@sam2211 you can install a PCI-E card only if your computer is based on the new intel 915 or 925 chipset.

 

[akshayt]

amd 64 too have support for pci-e

also,some games aren't supported by geforce 4mx

also,pci-e is newer over agp,in mid range cards atleast cost a bit cheaper and won't you prefer it over agp

but you can wait some time to make biger upgrade.

 

[sam2211]

i think ill stick to an agp card for now, thanks for the help ill check prices for the 6600gt in my area. till then i wanted to switch to the intel extreme graphics chip that i have, how do i switch from my agp to the intel xtreme?
