Basically you may be able to get a good framerate on a 5200 but the higher end cards are a lot better at sustaining that rate when a lot of action is going on along with having antialiasing and anisotropic filtering enabled. For multiplayer sustaining a high fps is part and parcel of doijng well, if your fps is gonna bomb to like 15 or 20 from 60 then aiming etc will be a lot more sluggish.

is there a great speed and quality difference between, pcie and agp?

Not right now.

i seriously dont understand half the things you guys have just said eek:

I dont care that much, Im always atleast years behind the latest tech. The next card I think I'll get is a GeForce FX 5600...

....thats because I only have PCI slots.

I still use a TNT2.

Roflmao. I used that for a long time, just to play MOHAA with. Jeeze, man, why do you still have it? Especially when you can go pick up something even remotely good, like a Radeon 9000, for just $30 bucks.

whoa a radeon 900 is only 30 bucks, i only have a 7500 loney:

You needa get those upgrades going, rent your ass out for space to be filled, im sure some homos will pay top "dolla" for some fresh imported ass biggrin:

Innoxx's Tnt2 is an AA.com icon.

Yeah, when I get some money scratched up to buy a new comp, I'm gonna put my TNT2 in a glass display case and place it on my mantle.

I'm still using the radeon 9500 (soft modded). I'll be ready to upgrade soon but not at those prices.
