whatvideo card's are compatible with my m\board?

johnny09 · 07-11-2009, 07:22 PM

Hi!

I recently purchased a new ASUS K8V-SE Deluxe motherboard and as it has no onboard VGA i need to install either an AGP or PCI video card and as i'm new to this side of things it's quite perplexing! lol! I just want to know what are some of the lower quality cards i could get that will be compatible with my board as i rarely play games and don't want top notch graphics. Basically as long as it can support 1024x768 resolution it's fine with me. In the manual for my board it says it supports AGP 2.1 and i need to have a 1.5v only (not 1.3v or 3.3v).A PCI version is no probs with me either. If you could include the brand and model numbers of some suitable ones that would be fantastic!
Thanks!

Video card quick list

Hi
Thanks for that one! Just the info i needed! I was looking at a Gigabyte nVidia 7600gs and a geforce 8400gs standard pci card. They both sound like the ones i need for both my pc's as they both have the 256 mb ddr2 and thought i'd go PCI to avoid any AGP compatibility probs hopefully!
Thanks for the help!

go with agp it is twice as fast as pci

If not faster! It's a dedicated bus just for video so there's less overhead on the PCI bus.
