Nvidia graphics cards
 

Greetings all and one.
Dead simple question for you all.
Currently i have a MSI FX 5600 installed with 128Mb on the card ---An AGP
style one
Main system is based on a Soltek SL-86MP-L Which is AGP 4/8 compatable.
2.4 Pentium and 2Gb of DDR 400 ram.
I have recently aquired a box full of BFG Tech cards----FX5700 OC 256 on
the board ,the OC stands for overclocked, should i bother swapping mine out
,or just leave it alone as in real tearms it is not a huge leap forward in
technology, i dont play games but i do do alot of bryce and poser work.
Basically is the extra DDR on the card plus the upgrade performance going to
show a difference in real time?

There is an updated GPU on the 5700 as well as faster chip clock and
faster RAM. This is a test of games on various cards including the 5600
and 5700

The 5700 *shouldn't* be any slower but I don't think you'll notice any
difference.
