Well the best card your going to get under $250 is the 9800PRO, if you HAVE to have Nvidia I suggest saveing a tiny bit more and get a 6800NU for about $290 on newegg (and it comes with farcry) or find it somewhere cheaper.

Agreed- $250 is kind of a gap price- in between old and nexgen cards.

Go for the 6800 IMO

The best Nvidia card under 250USD shipped would be the FX5900/5950.

Nandro · Jul 19, 2004

Yea, at newegg the fastest available in that range is probably the gainward 5900xt

Best card around 200 to 250 is gonna be the Radeon 9800 PRO.

i have to have nvidia so lets go lower than

Indyxc1 · Jul 20, 2004

Why do you have to have an nvidia?

blurry · Jul 20, 2004

The cheapest 5900 XT on Newegg is only $174.

or

if you don't already have Far Cry, this is a good deal.

because im not open minded .
i only want nvidia.so pick me out a card.i have the rest of the pc right here all i need is the card.if i save money i guess that doesnt hurt either
i just need the fastest NVIDIA card for the money.

Get the gainward gloden sample or the BFG OC. Both come with higher stock settings. The gainward is $194.

This is the NV section. If he wanted an open opinion it would be in the general video section. He dosent need a reason why. Some people just like NV and it suits them. Me personally. I would get the 9800 or 9700 even as I like the faster dx9. I am using my buddys 5800NU till I get a new card and its killing me.

Nandro what happened to the Ultra and the GT ?

Nandro · Jul 20, 2004

I sold the ultra figuring it was a power supply issue that my pc keeps blue screening during boot, and I eventually tried my buddys 5800 which does the same thing. I figured I would get an x800pro vivo and flash it and save some money on a big PS. Now I wonder if its the MB or if the PS just sucks so bad it dosent matter what card I have. My MB is new because the other died. In FL we get alot of lightning and I have killed about 6 MB's due to electric surges.

dumbfish · Jul 21, 2004

Nandro · Jul 21, 2004

No the card is regular agp

Mr.Guvernment · Jul 21, 2004

only PCIe cards out are ATi x600 and x300 cards.

dumbfish · Jul 21, 2004

im buying the gainward as soon as its back in stock it looks like a great card.

Nandro · Jul 21, 2004

I may buy that as well. I need a second card and want to wait for the current prices to even out a bit. All this gouging makes me sick.
