Whats the best budget AGP video card for around $200.00 canadian. Thanks.

for $200 you can go high end AGP...

AGP Geforce 6800nu's can be found in the states for $170, dont know how that will translate to canadian... hands down the best AGP card going right now in your price range.

6600GT is the best you're looking at for ~$200 up here

are 6800's not avalible or are they still in the$250 range in canada?

Last I seen they were $275 for an XFX on sale after rebate.

I just got a 6800nu. I've had a 6800gt and an x800xt in the recent past. And quite honestly, the 6800nu does the trick for me. I can play most games at 1280x1024 with high details, and some of the newer ones I have to drop to 1024x768 (F.E.A.R. runs at 1024x768 with no aa/af like butter).

I love this card. It's cheap, it performs great, and it's cheap. Did I mention it's cheap?

my $.02

This one is a good deal:

6600GT or better yet 6800

At around $200CDN, you could get a nice 6600GT, but I still believe the best budget AGP card out there is the 9800 Pro, which usually can be had for under $200CDN.

Here's the link for the $220CDN 6600GT from NCIX.com

and...

Here's a link to Future Shop for a $250CDN ATI AIW 9800 Pro which is on sale currently...$150CDN off the regular price.

I would also recommend eBay, because you more than likely can get a better card for the same price. Good luck!
