Another "which direction" to go ...

[PsychoPCFan]

I have $250 in Best Buy gift cards .. Need a new video card. Here is the following setup...

S478 - Abit IC-7 Max 3 w/ P4 2.8c (o/c to 3.3)
9600XT
1 Gig of PC4400

All I do is the following ...

1. MAME
2. Visual Pinball/PinMame
3. Blog/Web site editing
4. Games (BF2, Diablo 1/2, C&C, and Sims 2).

I would like my BF2 to run at 60fps @ 10x7 or 12x10 - thats all.

Any suggestions ....on a video card upgrade ...

assuming you're just upgrading the vid card, I'd get a 6800gt or 6800gs, whichever you can find cheaper.

It seems that Best Buy does not carry the 6800XX line of stuff anymore ...
I do see a 6600 and 6600GT ...

the best that you may get is an X800 XT or an X1800 XL or you can also consider an X800 PRO.

Since he has a 9600XT, he has an AGP motherboard so PCI-E cards dont count here.

I say get a X850 XT, 6800GS or 7800GS
