nothing really stands out to me now that I know of. The best deal recently that comes and goes is a 129.99 AMIR 7800gs from Frys B&M.

There used to be a x850xt recertified at newegg for 64.99 but those sold out fast.

what's your budget? the Radeon X1950 AGP is one of the best, but $200-250 ish...

Also, the 7800gs is up there (maybe slightly below the x1950)... here's one for about $165 shipped AR:

what's your budget, and what games and resolution you plan to play with? what board/cpu/ram combo do you have? gotta give us info, bud! :) otherwise, it's easy for me to point you to the most expensive.

*edit*
WOW, I'M SURPRISED HOW CHEAP THIS IS!!!!!!
$150-$50 REBATE = $100 FOR AN EVGA 7800GS!!!

^That's your BEST BANG for your buck for sure (if you ask me)... that's IF you plan to stay on AGP platform.

ya frys has random deals like that from time to time. That would prob be the best deal out now.

not sure if the jump from the x850xt pe to the 7800gs is MUCH of a hop... i personally don't think it's worth it, but hey it's your call. I'd rather save up more to upgrade your cpu and mobo as well.

The only true thing you may gain out of going for the 7800gs is SM3.0... and maybe a couple other things... again, don't think it's worth the upgrade... you may only see a very small gain.

*edit*
wait you said "fan well out and burn"... do you mean your card is now dead, or you need a replacement cooler?

Hey i know its not the classifieds but i have a 6800 ultra AGP that i'm willing to sell, i bought it recently and then decided to upgrade my computer. It is in perfect working condition and will sell for $100 shipped to lower 48. PM me for further details if ur interested. It is actually slightly faster than the 7800gs agp, and it seems to overclock fairly well from what i've seen. Here is the link comparing the two: http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php?card1=382&card2=179
you're better off sending him a PM and then you'd HAVE to set up a FS thread in the classies.

edit that post... i'm telling you... edit it, and send the dude a PM and if he agrees, you can set it up in classies and have him dib it right away... but again he needs 101posts to do so.

"burn out"

so it's dead? scorch marks on card?
