allthumbs 0 Posted October 21, 2008 My vanilla 6800 128 mb card finally died. She was a good old girl, but she would not run Arma for shit. I managed to find a Radeon hd 2600 Pro 512 mb AGP card cheap, so my old pc still lives! On AGP!! Â Any one have any idea how Arma would run on this system before I re buy it? Thanks!

BraTTy 0 Posted October 22, 2008 If you had a 6800ultra...the 6800 may be a tad faster. http://www.tomshardware.com/charts....72.html The HD3850 would have been the fastest AGP card and they arent that expensive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allthumbs 0 Posted October 22, 2008 The 2600 is running way better than the 6800 did. Or it may be the 1.14 patch has improved things, too. I hadn't tried that with the 6800. Seems good now, in any case. Btw, I don't see my card in the Tom's Hardware list that was posted. It's a 2600 Pro, but is 512 mb, not 256 mb. That should give a little more stuff, wouldn't it?

echo1 0 Posted October 22, 2008 The HD2600 would be slightly faster than a 6800, but don't expect to get blown away by it. As was pointed out, a 3850 would be the best option here, but then one must question the point of sinking money into an AGP card when you will probably have to upgrade CPU/Mobo/RAM before you need to upgrade the HD2600 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allthumbs 0 Posted October 22, 2008 There are alot of 6800 variations. Mine was a 128 mb vanilla no frills card. Low end of the 6800 totem pole. It played almost every game I had well, but I play alot of older games. The card I have now, was bought from Best Buy out of desperation. Either get a new pc, which I'm not ready for, or get a quick replacement card. I'm a pc junkie, so I didn't want to leave with nothing. As I said, my old card died hard - I could not use my pc at all. The card performs better than the 6800 did on this game. It cost me $100, so it was a clearly better choice for me.
