I am looking for a new video card. I was thinking about a 6600GT ordered one of the XFX ones and it didn't work so I sent it back. Now I want something else. It needs to be AGP and I'm looking to spend just under $200.

I have been looking at these cards

XFX 6600 GT
Leadtek 6600 GT
and it kinda goes out of my price range but also the
BFG 6800

What would all of you suggest?

I had a Leadtek 6600 GT, a very good card, and a BIG improvement over the card in your sig. There are some 6800 vid cards for under 200.00.

I would get the BFG 6800 for sure. If you can get the extra money for it, you'll be very pleased for however long you have that card. Their customer service is A+, and you'll get it overclocked straight out of the box.

Well I just ordered the leadtek 6600 GT and should have it early next week.

I hope it goes better than the XFX I had did.
