So im not looking at upgrading to PCI anytime soon. But I would like to atleast play oblivion on higher settings than low.

Im currently running a Radeon 9600XT 128MB AGP video card. Any suggestions on any AGP ATI cards that perform better than the 9600XT and cost around $200 - $300 dollars Canadian?

Being Canadian I can't use newegg. So don't bother using links from them for prices.
 
68XX series, x8XX series pick your faverite avoid the 68XX le, xt cards and the x8XX gt, se cards and you do mean 200-300 canadian right

Basically whatever you can find since agp cards at a good price are hard to come buy take what you can get feel free to post video cards you think might be good in this thread
 
You could probably search on eBay for a good, used 6800GT, since they're still a very good contender even for today. Best place to grab the once-popular AGP era cards.
 
If you are in Canada and are looking for an AGP upgrade, I think this card will give you the best bang for your buck. It's a full, 16-pipe card (like an X800XT, but with slightly lower clocks), plus it's cheaper and a lot faster than the two cards you are looking at. I found out about the deal from this thread, which you can check out if you would like more information.

AIW X800XL, ftw @ that price.
 
Whatever you do, do it soon - AGP cards are starting to get hard to come by, especially in the performance area.
