WTB: AGP Video Card

[evanscnce]

Right now I have a BFG FX5200 OC and I am looking for an agp upgrade. I don't want to spend a lot, I just want a more stable card that can run some better games.

Let me know what you have.

any particular budget?

System specs would help also.

Not sure on a budget, just not expensive as I will be upgrading my whole system down the road.

Specs:
Intel Pentium 4 2.8ghz with Hyper-Threading
Intel 865 PERL motherboard
1GB RAM DDR 333 (upgradable to 4gb)
256 MB BFG FX5200 AGP graphics card

Look around, but honestly your computer is more in need of complete gutting, then replacing components. Turn it into a folder and start saving for a new build.

The ATI X8** series are very good cards! Something worth looking into!

I have a partially built system sitting in the case on my floor (my new build) All I need is a cpu, ram and a video card. But I want to give my current system a bit of an upgrade too.

.....

i have an radeon 9600 pro 128 mb...

Will that card beat out a 256mb FX 5200 OC?

Will that card beat out a 256mb FX 5200 OC?

Both cards will, but the x800/x850 series will outperform is by a lot.

I need a realatively cheap video card to hold me over till my build is done. Max spending is about 70 or so.

that might be a better deal than my 9600 pro altho it was a great card and i played quite a few graphical games on it.
