Looking for the best card that is 200.00 or less....
I play all sorts of games...

WoW, Counter Strike, BF and many many others...

i am not a fan boy of eitehr side so i can go either way on companies.

any input would be great... i have Peaked at the 7600gt and X1800 GTO...

but any otehr suggestion would be great.

THanks
 
AGP or PCI-e? used x850xt in agp and same for 7800gt for pci-e can be bought for less then 150 and 200 respectively.
 
PCI-E...

going to upgrade my whole system its getting out of date...

so gonna go with PCI-E
 
For that price range, definately the 7600 GT but if you were to go a bit higher into the 250 range you could easily pick up a X1800XT now and that would really deliver the goods.
 
Used 7800gt's and GTX can be found for around $200.

I bought a 7800GTX off ebay for 214 ish. My brother also sold a 7800GT for around 210ish.

wouldnt a 7800gt flat out beat a X1800XL??

X1800XT is another story.

No, the X1800XL and 7800GT are about on par with each other default, but in most games its the X1800XL that wins overall. especially with AA and/ AF in BF2 the X1800XL actually doubles the 7800GT's frame rate (maxed out) the 7800GT is good, although in the long run i would go X1800XL mainly because the overclocks they can take. i can run mine 685/685 and this is from 500/500 :p with my single core im seeing about early 9000's in 3dmark05 thats strate up demolishing any 7800GT. id see my self running about X1800XT 256 performance, or 7900GT.. i was actually going to buy a 7800GT but didnt :p and im glad i got this card instead. it deffinetly will max fear for ya :p

Look at this review here dude. notice the 7800GT wins at first but when AA/AF is turned on the 7800GT falls over in all the games, and of course everybody runs AA/AF :) X1800 nearly doubles thie card with high AA/AF.. clearly shows the 7800GT easily boggs down. now just pciture the X1800 at 685/685

Actually most reviews on the internet show the 7800GT being faster in almost everything. But once you turn on HQ to try to elimante shimmering the difference is gone, and often the 1800xl would gain a lead
 
what about the x1800 series compared to a 7900gt? Cant the 7900 be had for around $220 if you look hard enough?
 
I agrew with the others who say that for an extra $30 you can score an x1800XT which would blow the rest of these cards out of the water.
 
IDK i see the X1800 doubling the 7800GT in BF2 and thats just looks great. also the 7800GT always boggs down with AA an AF on.. pretty much every body overclocks there cards to get those performances edges well the 7800GT easily becomes limited with stock cooling.. and a X1800XL can pretty much keep going. look at viper jon i think hes got his at 740 core lol thats insane would easily kill a 7900GT, so all im saying is a X1800XL or X1800XT is the best thing for the money.
