The best PC Video Card for PCSX2

[notchris]

I have a pentium D 3.2 GHz processor board only has an AGP slot I got 2GB DDR2 installed at 533Mhz the onboard video doesn't support shaders

what about this one

I would imagine that the CPU of the platform that still uses AGP bus would be of a very old family. The CPU in the AGP platform would still be the bottleneck for the PCSX2. So there is not much point in getting the better AGP GPU. A whole platform needs upgrading.

This one would be pants. I had 7800 GT 256MB card... and it was struggling with almost anything that I have tried to play.

can someone give me a link to the best AGP card for this I'm not upgrading my whole board this one was given to me and was free so if I can buy a card that will do this which one would be absolute best

*don't get that you won't get guarantee speed otherwise you wasted $40 getting a modern PC is the best.

*AGP bus is phase-out....PCI-E bus is the modern one today.

Something like ATI HD.4670 AGP is the best if you like. i saw that in local shop via website in my country.

Way too slow, I think they still sell ATI HD4670 or HD4650 but the price is high and as others said you still have a slow computer there and it will probably not make much of a difference.

+1. The HD4670 is your best option and it will cost you ~$100+. And even with the upgrade, it's still going to be slow. Keep in mind that PCSX2 is more dependent on the CPU rather than the GPU. In most PC games, you're usually bottlenecked by the GPU so you can just buy a new GPU to improve performance.

With PCSX2, more often than not, the CPU is the bottleneck so even if you buy a better GPU, it's not really going to help much.

Upgrading your whole machine is the most recommended move you can make. AGP cards are way too OP nowadays and your CPU wont even run most games in playable speeds.

My specs are (same more or less) now I just gotta find E5400 it's @2.7Ghz stock and anyways it's dual core I suggest U do the same since GPU can still last about 1-2years.
EDIT:NVIDIA Cards are best. So even if you don't upgrade CPU find a good NVIDIA better then the one you have right now.
I know this cuz I have used NVIDIA GeForce FX 5600 AGP 256 mb and still managed to get about 10 FPS in DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3(It's a demanding game believe it or not!)
With that said you will probably get FPS more or less like this that's why everyone wants you to get Dual Core

his gpu should have been changed before years there is no way it can still last 1-2 years :s except if you mean until it dies...

as jadariin said the best he can do is go buy a 500-600 dollars/euro pc with some good cheap components (trust me even in that price you can get a really good pc), that will help allot in everything not only pcsx2.
