ezlead 42 Posted December 3, 2005 My brother is running a Soyo Mobo with universal AGP slot . He's running T-Bird 1.33 CPU with 512 DDR all running at 266Mhz. What would be the best Video Card to upgrade. Preferably NVIDIA based But reasonably priced. I am running Radeon 9000 Pro and have some instability issues. He is running an old VooDoo 3/3000 that he loves but needs something with more ram and speed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BUFF 8 Posted December 5, 2005 I don't think that there is any "right" answer to this as some apps will be CPU limited & some GPU limited (it would also help to have the exact mobo type) & also what 1 peron considers "reasonably priced" another may disagree with. I suspect that a 6600GT would probably be the max. worth considering putting in that without upgrading in other areas too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ezlead 42 Posted December 5, 2005 (edited) Board is Soyo Dragon Lite. My concern is AGP slot voltage. My understanding is universal slot is 3.3 and 1.5 volt only. According to some, 1x,2x,4x cards only. 8x is .8 volt and will not work. Does anyone know for sure? I was thinking of MX 440 or something that is 4x. Any help is appreciated. Thanks for the input.

BUFF 8 Posted December 5, 2005 been a lot of Dragon Lites, you don't know the specific model do you e.g. SY-K7V? You can get AGP8x boards that will work on 1.5V slots but sometimes it can depend on how the board mfr implimented the GPU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
