any gc that can play 1080p and is around rm300 or lower?
7300gt.. hmm..compare to my current kong gc how?

ya... gaming...even my x1650xt cant play in cabalsea's nation war...
skills spamming and my screen freezes...when it moving i'm kissing floor..
my x1650xt is win a little 7600gt or mayb on par as we bench it together with khaisiong...not remember clearly though...
kabu kabu where are you? got questions to ask you..
planning to get hd2600xt 512mb or hd3650 if there is no great deal in garage sales. as their price around my budget..
though i'm more prefer 256bit..
wondering their performance..

@ray
ya.. tempt to get that.. but read in some forums that there is a big problem on the driver... mayb only sapphire brand have the problem?
I saw your post asking about the 7900GS. i also wonder why it is jz 128bit.
if that is 256 bit..since it is around rm300.. will put in my consideration as well. xD

my fren keep tempt me to move to dark side.. i told him if he letting go his rig in half price to me then i will move... haha...

@ray
That person did not upload any pic..
this is his thread: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/942444
and feel fishy as just have 9 posts up till now..

Just do some survey on the available AGP card in LYP
Only these around my budget:
Sapphire
HD3650 DDR2 512mb 128bit rm269
HD3650 DDR3 512mb 128bit rm300
HD2600xt DDR3 512mb 128bit rm290
1950GT DDR3 256mb 256bit rm219
HIS
HD3650 DDR2 512mb 128bit rm335

in a big headache now which to choose and do i hv other option ><

i think there is 3650 with DDR3...
i think 3850 pawned 3650 cause 3850 is 256 bit and 3650 is 128 bit?
My budget is below rm350 for only graphic card...

its different brand.. Sapphire and HIS...
i saw it at the Viewnet pricelist i downloaded from hardwarezone.
not sure about that...may be they price it wrongly?
Even see it at pricelist but not sure they still have the stock.. so still in survey.. xD

@ray
not really get what you mean.. means suggest dun get 3650?


@fylon
ya... agree with you..mayb water set.
even google cant found 128bit 79GS. xD
but i din see 79GS at any pricelist...so dunno how to get and wonder the price...

LoL.. kabu so fast...
ya... budget wise hd3650.. but still scare about the driver problem..

LoL...well...I'm indecisive i know...

@kabu
LoL...nvm...
Most probably will wait until pc fair in kl then hunt there. xD
if no luck then str8 go LYP to find... hehe..

@kabu
LoL...I am from taiping, perak. Going to kl about 4 hours and if go LYP then hv to change lrt/monorail.. Are you fr east m'sia? if compare to take flight i'm sure nearer.
was thinking to go Viewnet ask about the 1950GT which is just rm215.
though just 256mb but its 256bits. if its true most prob will get it..
If not then will try looking for 7900gs 256bits. wonder is around the price of rm300 as 1 of the forumer stated.
According to http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/65786/
and http://forums.extremeoverclocking.com/t247448.html
both show hd3650 even below x2600xt. And 7900GS is above them. though its no way conclusive.. but can be a rough reference right?

erm..i search in google about 3650 and i come across some post saying after updated the driver with ati's, game crash and stuff. there are some ppl saying that the ati's driver not supported agp version for the HD series?

then i saw x1950pro is at the price of rm510 LoL...
Pro the price is double up?
BTW.. just asking. what if.. i mean if letting go my current rig, the price of the part?
i mean processor, motherboard and ram.

cause asking few of my frens to help me look for the GC..all of them keep tempting me to go dark side lol...
Just trying to know if the parts can get me some fund. =P
Guys can help give some comment about my estimation of the parts?
processor: rm150
ram: rm50 each
mobo:rm130
Mayb i overestimated my parts?

Err... i plan to get low end parts 1st. xD
I guess i did overestimated my parts.
then i will focus in finding my GC replacement then.

@kabu
LoL...ya..thanks for advice. ^^ I do think so also..
just frens keep tempting and my stand sway...
Now have to harden my heart and just focus on finding replacement.

@fylon
thanks. DId read that. x800pro is below my previous kong gc..so out of consideration.
7800GS... 2 years...
