Graphics Card for CSS

[sgebay04]

What agp graohics card should I buy if I want to play css to the best of its ability? Also will my 2.8 p4 with 1 gig run it all ok to its best?

Your P4 should be ok although they're not the best chips. CSS doesn't need more than 1gig to play so your ok there.

A 7800GT/GS AGP is most likely your best bet

Gainward BLISS GeForce 7800GT 512mb found for £144 sounds good to me!

Is there naything else I could get to help with speeds etc.

Thanks

You could overclock your CPU....

 

[sgebay04]

Now that sounds good, where do I start? Its a p4 800fsb on a standard Dell board in a Dimension 4800 case.

 

[FarFarAway]

Dell?

You won't be able to overclock

Thats not good.

I may look at building a gamer machine for CSS. XMS do you have some prices for 20 ppl servers?

Also what processor would you go for in a new build?

Thanks

I dont sell servers i'm afraid.

Edit: Seams ganward have managed to botch up what they claim to be a 7800GT (the G70GT) chip on an agp board. but i wouldn't mind betting its actualy a overclocked 7800gs.

Edit 2: Thinking about it, are GS' just underclocked G70GT chips anyway?

If you can find that card, that cheap, upgrade to a decent PCI-E board and get it. Now.

Theres the link, the pic shows the AGP Gainward card. Either way it would work I suppose.

Any ideas on where I could get a fully managed server for public use (as OC3D) with admin rights?

Thanks

You won't be able to unless you rent one. Our servers are for our use/clan use only I'm afraid. There are planty of places you can rent gaming servers:

That card in the pic on ebuyer is PCI-E mate. AGP dosn't have tabs at each end of the connector bit that you plug into the slot.

Card on the Right is an AGP 6800u, left is a PCI-E 7800GT.

Righty, Ive recomended these:

Anyone else know of a better 478 board that has PCI-E Please let us know...

and

7600GT, XFX, should plow through most things right?

i would say go for a 7800gt,great card and gives nice good fps on css

100fps plus with everything maxxed apart from aa and that other thing i cant remember what its called .

I don't think I've ever heard it put like that, but that describes Dell computers to a "T" lol.

Yeah i think we should put that forward to them as their new slogan

"Dell - Taking the fun out of owning a PC"

Yea dell are pretty damn boring. you could build a machine capable of running CSS for fairly cheap really. Then spend the money on a damn nice mouse and keyboard

I have the best PCI-E 478 board ever, the Asus P4GD1, but they are outta production, and hella rare... If you wanna have a butchers and maybe try and find a used one (they aren't cheap, and impssible to buy) heres Asus' page on it: Click
