Best PCI video card

covana2244 · Feb 20, 2005

My friend needs a PCI video card, I know they suck but he has no other option right now. What is the best PCI video card for mild gaming?

Thanks!

Well, this is one of the best, buy I don't know that it's a very good idea to sink nearly 150 dollars into a PCI video card.

They might be better served by something that is lower priced like this:

Good luck.

Looks like I need some shut eye.

the best Nvidia pci card is the 5500 (you can get them at newegg for around $70).... ati i think is the 9250.....
