ATI All-In-Wonder X1900 PCIe Review
An anonymous reader writes "ViperLair is currently running a closer look at ATI's newly released All-In-Wonder X1900 PCIe graphics card. The clock speeds and memory are pretty comparable to other cards available but the reviewer warns that 'clock speeds do not always tell the whole story.' The review tests performance in Doom 3, UT 2004, Far Cry, Half-Life 2, and the 3DMark06 benchmarking tool." This release comes relatively quickly after the X1800 series which was release just last October.
I am trying to figure out how to do this.. I just got an Emachine T3410 that says it has anVidia Geforce 6100 PCI express slot available And what I want to do is run 2 monitors on it.. do I have to get a PCI video card? Or can I use an additional AGP card. I also want a tv tuner card.. I am looking for the chapest solution. The best deal I think is to get a PCI video card for about 60 bucks and an additional 40 dollar PCI tuner card at COMPUSA. I would prefer to get a card that combines both things for cheaper than 100 bucks.. but can't find any.
You picked a game over a year old that wasn't a good judge of current hardware requirements WHEN IT CAME OUT. Im also sure you didnt actually attempt playing WoW on a GEForce2. My 2.8 gigahertz ATI Radeon 9700 Pro had trouble with it. If you want to look at 'current hardware requierments' look at FEAR or Battlefield2 or heck, even Quake4. That being said, I just bought myself a GeFroce 7800GT for $359 and got a free motherboard with it. Good deal for me.
But if you want to know who the crazies are, it is possible to buy two DUAL GEForce something or other cards for 800 each. So $1600 for the 'graphics card' alone.
