Hi guys, I know this question has been asked A LOT of times already BUT I am on a budget and I don't want to overspend on a video card that my system won't take full advantage off. Here is my system:
P4 551 @3.40 GHz
Intel D955XE
2GB OCZ DDR2 @ 533MHz

Which of the following video cards would suit the above configuration? Here are the list of video cards & their respective prices (Canadian $) that I have looked at. Feel free to suggest any tha would cost around $150 - $200 CDN

X1600 Pro 512MB $115
X800 GT 256MB $110
7600GS 256MB $135


Thanks Guys!
 
its kinda out of my range because right now a 7600GT is $250 CDN (including taxes)
 
None of those cards are particularly good, look into getting an X850 or 6800U/GT instead. You could probably pick one up used for around $150CAD or so.
 
Or just a normal 6800 (most OC to GT)...I just saw a used one in forums for $100 (US)...shipping and stuff should get it close to $150 CAD.
 
k well i donno where your shopping, but heres canadas newegg.

"evga 7600GT KO - $202" (the pic is wrong, if you order that card, you well get the EVGA 7 series KO cooler)
 
thanks for the replies guys, appreciate it.

Just to clarify, my P4 551 won't bottleneck the 7600GT or 7900GS?? What I mean is that I'd see a HUGE difference between those cards and say a X800XL?
 
Thanks guys for all your help.

I got a used Asus 7600GT for $150 CDN and I am loving it! =)
