New Card

Zniks · 07-24-06, 11:40 PM

I currently have a Pentium 4 3.0E, 1GB Corsair Value Ram, 1x 160GB Samsung HD, 1x 40GB WD HD, Asus P4P800-SE Mobo, and a Saphire 9600Pro 256mb. I am looking to upgrade my video card untill i get some money. I was wondering if theres anything anybody could recomend around $150 agp 8x. I want to be able to play games like BF2 and Prey without major FPS drops (in action) with everything on low settings.

7600GS

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130036

little more than your $150, $159 + $5.46 shipping, but there is a $20 mail in rebate, so when that comes back it's really only $139.99 =]

Or, if your looking for something cheaper, try the 6600GT $131.99, or the 6600NU $105.99

Yea, the 7600GS would be your best bet for AGP.

Thanks thats just arround the price im looking for. If money is not an issue would it be better to get 7950gx2 or a 7900gtx? Does this site have benchmark tests i can check out?

Just remember both the 7950 and 7900gtx are Pci-e only cards, The best Agp card available is the 7800gs.
