Whats a good pci-16 card to go with ?

nerd4life · Dec 13, 2004

Here's the specs on a computer my little brother and sister are going to get for X-mas from my parents. I'd love to be able to build one for both of them but coughing up money is just hard sometimes.

What's a good pci-16 video card for around 150-200 dollars preferably from newegg ?

I'm going to start looking at benchmarks tonight and try and have an answer for my father tomorrow morning.

Thanx!!

edit: The computer comes with 512 dual channel ddr, not 256 as shown.

What do you use this for? You can get an ATI X600 Pro from Newegg for well under $150....

If they don't play games, onboard video or a cheap ATI X300 128MB (newegg around $50) will work....

My little sister probably won't need one sorry.

But my brother plays every game out. Currently playing WoW with me, Doom 3, whatever. So looking for something nice for him.

6800GT or X800XT depending on budget, other than that check out 6600 and variants.

thanx.

think im gonna lean towards the 6600gt. budget is around 150 to 200.

Looks like a really nice card for pretty cheap.

Best card for the amount of money you want to pay is the 6600gt, it goes for as low as $190 plus shipping and it is faster then a 9800pro or the x700pro.

Also there was a sticcky on this: Do you have $xxx to spend on a video card?

Yeah I'll second the 6600gt

you should check out this article from Anandtech to figure out which one is the best one for you to get.

6600 is best bang for the buck now..as PCI E progresses, I hope to see a wider variety of cards available..
