which graphics card is really good but not that expensive? i dont want to pay $300. i know nvidia is very good but how is radeon. looking at computers to pay and most the time you can get a radeon 6600 or 6800. how good are those?

Nvidia makes the 6600 and 6800. the radeon 9800 pro agp version would be thee card. My pcie bfg 6600gt oc nvidia works really well but costs about $250 at best buy. If I still had an agp slot my 9800 pro would be in it! But ati has yet to make an affordable pcie card that performs this well, thier 700 series pcie doesn't come close to the 6600gt. intel D925XCV 1024 mb pc 5400 ddr2 geforce 6600 gt oc pcie Maxtor SATA 120

Look at Newegg.com They have 6600GT cards for under 200. They also have a 5900XT card (256bit) for 185$. Good luck! - aaron

Considering the performance of the 6600GT relative to the FX5900XT, $185 for the 5900XT is a rip off! http://graphics.tomshardware.com/graphic/20041004/images/image016.gif It's actually worse than a rip off, but I can't think of a better term to describe it that's not offensive. MCSE, MCSA Messaging, baby!

Don't waste your money. What do you need your card for? If you're not gonna play Half Life 2 or Doom 3, then get a 32-64MB Video card for hundreds less than you'd pay for a 128-256MB Card. Half Life 2 kicks ass

"What do you need your card for? If you're not gonna play Half Life 2 or Doom 3, then get a 32-64MB Video card for hundreds less than you'd pay for a 128-256MB Card." 32 or 64MB?? That's terrible advice! What are you thinking? nebbie, We really need to know more about your system & what games you wanna play. Putting a ? for your CPU & RAM doesn't give us anything to go on. With a question like that, all you can get is a generic answer: Get a card that has 128MB at 128-bit & supports DX9 Asus A7N8X-X 1800+ @ 8 x 210MHz 512MB PC3200 Asus Ti4800SE 128MB WinME/WinXP Pro

sorry. i dont have a system yet. that is why im asking. most of the computers im looking at are intgrated, but im either looking at building one or getting one offline. if i get one off line, to update the graphics card it will either cost lots or there radeon 6600 or 6800 is offered for not much more. looking at www.cpusolution.com looking to get an amd althon 64. need a good card to play world or warcraft
