wow wow wow

i currently run a Nvida geforce fx5200 256mb ram and this card isnt powerful enough apparently....so i need to know, do give me all the bullsh"t etc, lol, i just wanna know, what is a good, powerful CHEAP video card, maximum sorta about 100$...thank,

9800 pro

That might go over $100, but it's a really good card. If that is too expensive go for the Radeon 9600XT.

I'd go for an x700 or and x700pro...I have an x700pro and it wasn't too much more. Do you plan to play some of the newer games that are out?

u might be able to find 9800s at 100 dollas

i think the 9800PRO would beat the X700 card, but i can't prove it.



really...i'd wait to get more than $100. to be totally honest, if you are looking into getting another AGP card, i say don't. wait to upgrade to a PCI-E mobo and a PCI-E card. that will last you a whole longer than your AGP based mobo and gfx setup.



im gonna go from a 9200 to a 6800GT. no sense in spending ~$100 on a "hold over" card while i wait. i'm patient, and i could keep that ~$100 for sumthin else.

Thats a impossible combination and you know it

Nvidia 6600 not gt, if possible.

dont bother upgrading ur mobo just for a gfx card... theres no performance difference between agp and pci e atm... 9600xt is a great card, but i would recommend trying to get the 9800

That might be true, but if you upgrade your Mobo to PCI-E and get a graphics card to go with it, you can SLI it later on, plus PCI-E cards are cheaper then AGP, so the mobo wouldn;t be that much more for a future investment.
