My all time favorite game would be Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics Brotherhood of steel.

But from the two i have two thumbs up with Fallout tactics. I love recruiting mutants and assembling you robot and of course, who would not forget the plasma rifle and pulse rifle. I love using the plasma rifle when killing humans... they melt!

[QUOTE="nic4games"]when i turn on my computer a pop up message appears and says that my video card is not recieving enough power thats why the video card lowers its performance and not release its full potential.WhOOmpa260

Well what else do you have running in your system? You might have too much hardware running off that psu and thus the card isn't getting enough juice. Post the rest of your specs so we can get a better idea of what's going on.

i already removed some extra fan and neon lights from my PC but still the pop up message still appears. Its ok to remove some fan coolers coz here in our place is cold

[QUOTE="nic4games"][QUOTE="roulettethedog"][QUOTE="LordEC911"]

[QUOTE="roulettethedog"]You are trying to tell me that the 8800gtx is not much better then any AGP card.:roll: What cards were compared ,at what resolution, and what games were these cards tested on? Your like is a dead one like your argument.:lol:roulettethedog

We are talking about no card needing more then the 8x bandwidth that AGP has to offer.

Going from a PCI-e 16x card/slot to the same card with an AGP card/slot the performance is very similar.  No card needs the 16x that PCI-e has to offer, as demonstrated by the benchmarks of 8800GTX running on an SLI 8x board and then on a SLI 16x board.

I know that I over dramatised it,but the simple fact is that newer games require faster C.P.U.'s and almost all the mobo's out now are pci-express, so the original posters argument is irrelevant. Having a Core2 or X2 C.P.U. for a minimum requirement is not that far off.

 then why some manufacturers still manufacture AGP cards? Like geforce 7950 AGP

if you said that PCIe already outfaced AGP then why some manufacturers still manufacture it?  It means that AGP is still alive and can be used still.  And i think, AGP will only be outface if the manufacturers themselves will stop making AGP cards.  Am i correct?

As long as there is a market for AGP cards, companies will make AGP. The AGP market will die off once new games requirements for C.P.U.'s are higher then the old AGP mobo's can handle. Heck there is still a pci video card market.:D

AGP cards will still survive ten years or so...

all these arguments are older.  To proove my worth on this thread... i did make a test and i tested on my friends PC, he is still using AGP card and he uses 7600GS card and i currently upgraded mine to PCI-e 7600GS also and with the same RAM speed but different CPU... we played C&C3 and these are the results that we saw from the game with AGP and PCI-e cards.  They run both smoothly in a 1200x1024 resolution with high end graphics.  I think its still ok to use AGP cards today.  It is still alive and BTW, if AGP is dead why inno3d or other manufacturers still produce AGP cards?
