Best 2X Graphics Card?

tropicaldawn · 06-27-06, 04:01 PM

What's the best graphics card I can get for a 2X slot? How much and where can I get one?

Damenshon · 06-28-06, 07:23 AM

AGP 2x? why in the world would u want an AGP 2x?

or r u talking about PCIe 2x...cause i dont think they make those.

What motherboard is it? If you can tell us what voltage your AGP slot can supply, i.e. 1.5 or 3V, that would help greatly for us to help you find out.

If I had to go off of memory, you should probably be looking at Voodoo3/4/5, TNT2, maybe Geforce1 or 2 cards, Kyro2, etc.

why not try a pci 5200 or something of the sort?

Or, OR! 8X or 4X cards will work in 2X boards! OMG! They do! Have done it before. Actually have a couple of boards running with 4x AGP cards that are 2x boards. It won't kill anything. You just might have some problems running games.

Seriously, you shouldn't have to worry bout that.

denz_1 · 07-02-06, 01:02 AM

I thought the 1-2X Slots didnt supply enough Voltage for 4x-8x?

Hold your horses there partner! Most AGP 4x cards are "4X/2X", so they would work in 2x slots

now if you actually are running 8x cards in there, its eaither a special card with compability, or the slot has the correct voltage and is some how able to work. It probably a combination of both of these.

Notice "4x/2x"

omg dude, the best card at newegg are like MX400 and radeon 7000???!!!! WTF man If I were u, I would rather cgange the mobo seriously

How about you get a 2x/4x/8x card? There are cards out there that are double-keyed, that fit in both an AGP2x, and an AGP 4x/8x slot.

Whether it works or not I'm not going to guarantee
