Best sub $200 AGP Card?

[krang00]

Ok, I know this has been beaten to death and I have searched but it seems like I'm getting a bit of old/differing information.

I'm selling my GeForce 6600 256 to my friend so I need a new AGP card. I don't want to spend over $200, any suggestions? I mainly play BF2 at 1280x1024. For some reason when I switched to the 6600 I couldn't play at a resolution lower than that on my SGI 1600SW Flat panel monitor. Anything less than that and everything gets shifted right, partly off the screen. Anyway, what do you think?

Maybe the ATI X800 GTO?

Do they sell an AGP 512 MB version of that card? I definately want a card with 512 MB for future games.

6600gt or an x800gto.

edit: The amount of memory means nothing on a card.

Don't get caught up in how much memory a card has.

Check this one out: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102680

Would you buy it? lol

I'd look towards getting a 6800GS/GT.

BTW, please use the search function before you post because I'm 99% I saw this exact same thread title in the past few days, and there are about a billion different threads asking for the best $200 AGP card.

Does it matter that the core clock is only 350 on that card? I was looking at this card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16814161005, I realize it is only DDR2 but the core speed is 500. Although, the memory clock is only 800 at 128 bit. And it only has 12 pixelshaders. Ok, never mind
