newest PCI GFX card?
17.10.08 at 18:57:12
 
Okay first off, here's something COOL from "Sparkle"

The first PCI-E / PCI-X 1X GeForce card - cool for HTPC users!

http://www.3dfxzone.it/news/puntatore.php?uid=8819

Not the first one, but it's newer than:

http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/1045/pci_e_x1_graphics_performance_with_galaxy_...

Now a short disclaimer...

!!!WARNING!!! The following question is about PCI cards and NOT PCI-E/PCI-X cards. !!!WARNING!!!

Okay, now with that out of the way...

What is the newest PCI graphics card based on either nVidia or ATI chipsets?

I know that the last (and possibly best available) ATI PCI card was the 256MB ATI Radeon 9250 PCI ...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370091068637&fromMakeTrack=...

As far as I know the GeForce 6 6200 PCI 256MB DDR is the best available nVidia based solution from PNY.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Latest-PNY-GeForce-6-6200-PCI-256MB-DDR-VGA-DVI-TV-out_W0Q...

I'm not too knowledgeable on nVidia cards so I could be wrong...

If anyone knows about better solutions please post about it.

BTW - it's for a mini ITX media centre I'm building...it has no AGP or PCI-E/PCI-X slots.

Apparently Gigabyte had the same idea:
