Thread: Getting ready to buy my vid card...

    Default Getting ready to buy my vid card...

    Ok, so im getting ready to buy my video card for my budget gaming rig Mr.Slacker helped me pick out the GeForce 6600 256MB, but since then Ive gathered some extra dough and was wondering if I could go a little higher on performance. Either a 6600GT 128MB or a Geforce 6800 128MB? Im really leaning towards the 6800, but wanted some opinions first.

    go with an ati x800, x800pro or xl. theres a guy selling one in mint condition for $360Cad with silencer 5 rev2 if you're interested. ati will give you more for the money.

    $360! Yeah right man, my top price for a vid card would be $190.

    $360cad with the $50cad silencer. the card alone would be around $250usd and it would be a lot better but you can get what you want. a 6600gt 128mb wont get u far tho.

    yeah i would rather get this. there are gc20 memory chips on it and you can overclock them to 1000mhz ddr and im pretty sure you can oc the gpu as well, plus you get 256mb on it. this is the best you can get for that price.

    How good would gameplay be on games like Doom 3, Half LIfe 2, BF 2, and UT2K4 on high graphic settings?

    depends on the rest of the setup but it will perform better than the 6600gt
