Chase Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Guys, I'm looking at upgrading my Matrox G400 graphics card (which has worked pretty well for the past few years I might add) with something a bit more up to date. I'm getting really confused over all the different makes/speeds/chipsets and was hoping someone could give a few pointers or recommend a card... My criteria: Run 2 monitors @ 1280x1024 (non DVI) Run 'Call of Duty' AGP Work with Epox 8K3A+ mobo Be around the £50 mark (or less) I'm not really a big games player (probably due to the fact I can't run many recent games ), the main reason for looking for a new card is that I'm getting a ghost image of my 2nd monitor on the 1st one. Believe this to be the card as I've swapped cables/monitors/ports and the ghosting is always on screen 1. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Posted February 13, 2005 Author Share Posted February 13, 2005 Been looking at an ATI Radeon 9550 card. Looks OK for about 45 quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 I have a Radeon 7000 64meg AGP card you can have for £15 if you like? Can support 2 monitors, 1 VGA and 1 DVI (but will include a DVI to VGA adaptor for you so can can use 2 VGA leads). Also has s-video out. Is new, brought it in error (needed a PCI card not AGP).
