    Looking for a recommendation

    Hi guys,

    I hope someone can give me some advice here..

    My gfx card just popped so i need a cheap replacement.

    Im looking to upgrade my whole pc in the near future, but for the time
    being im just looking for a cheap fix.

    It needs to be agp (8x i think), i need to to support dual output
    (independant, not just cloning) One for my analogue monitor and one
    for my TV (its got analogue PC in + HDMI)

    Can someone suggest a cheap (but decent) card that will fit my needs?

    What kind of card did you have?

    To my knowledge there's only ever been one AGP card with HDMI released to market, and that was Sapphire's X1600 Pro HDMI http://www.sapphiretech.com/us/produ...w.php?gpid=145 version released in June of last year. Problem is you can't find the things anywhere now (although the PCI-e version is still available). All the current-gen (i.e. Geforce 8 and Radeon HD 2k series) cards have yet to ship in AGP, although various manufacturers have announced AGP versions of their entry-level and mainstream cards.

    The good news is most every X1600/X1650 on the market appears to be HDMI interoperable, meaning a $20 DVI-HDMI adapter is all you need to get HDMI output.

    i would get the 2900 pro, and overlock the crap out of it. it completes with the 8800gt, and it costs less
