Does anyone else in the world besides me still have an AGP card?

I'm drawing up a shopping list for a new pc build.
Which is better: Radeon RX470 or GF GT 740?

Don't have an option in the BIOS for AGP voltage anyway, there are options for HT,NB,NB 1.8v and SB voltages though. Don't know what they mean so not messing.
New PSU it is then.
I do remember Trig though, haven't read any of his posts since he was stuck in the sanitarium - is he still around ? And that fella who thought the CIA/FBI/NSA were camping in his loft and assasinating everyone he knows !!

Yes! More than one. But they're in a box of random bits in the attic.

No idea. I bought my current card about 6 years ago, so it's ancient in tech terms, but still plays everything I want it to. I haven't really kept up with numbers and models since then. However for a decent card you'd probably be looking to spend around £200. Which is probably about $20 these days.

If you Linux you want nvidea, or so someone said once and I'm clinging to it because I don't do keeping up with tech anymore.

It was the displayport to VGA adapter causing the problem.
The card only has digital outputs, I needed an adapter to convert the signal to analogue to work with my VGA monitor, but the card couldn't supply enough voltage to power the adapter.
Bought a HDMI to VGA adapter that has a 5v USB input for £5.99 and have had no problems since. Cheaper than a new PSU !

Worth spending that £90 on a new LCD monitor?
Unless your current monitor is special?
