How do these AGP cards look?

Thanks for the quick reply!!

If it was only the 30$ I'd do it in a heartbeat but both the cards I listed had 20-30$ rebates.

While money isn't that big of deal just because I am not sure how long I will be sticking with this rig I'd like to stay around that 100-115 price range.

Especially since I really only play realtime strategy games and from what I can tell their required hardware is much lower then other PC games.
 
yeah, usually it's more CPu intensive, but RTS games are becoming more graphically intensive. take a look at the new RTS called Company of Heroes. That game looks comp taxing, lol. Well, I'd recommend you get an X850XT if you want power, but it's lacking in newer tech. If you absolutely need the new tech (Sm3, etc...) and you MUST choose between those two cards, I'd take the 6800XT from XFX BECAUSE from what I've heard, the XFX GDDR3 versions have a higher probability of unlocking pipes to make the card equivalent to the 6800GS, plus, GDDR3 generally overclocks better than GDDR2 and has tighter RAM timings =).
 
Thanks again for the replies. I do have to say in my short visit this place is great!

Anyways In no way do I need to pick from these two cards.

I have been looking now for almost week reading everything I can and basically breaking it down to what I will be using it for (HOMMV and BFME2) and how much I was kind of looking to spend these two seemed decent.

Besides being AGP really I don't care what it is as long as it doesn't totally break the bank and plays those two games I want!

If you don't want to spend more to get an AGP 7600 GT, get an AGP 7600 GS for about the same price as that 6800 XT. Faster, smaller, runs cooler, less power consumption.
 
the 7600gs from XFX is a great choice... i work at compusa and that is the card i sell the most... great price range and its a good card from under 19" monitors and most games other than BF2 fear and oblivion.. which most customers at compusa dont play anyways....


but it will play BF2 just not at super high res with full AA and high detail...

I love XFX i have a 7800gt that died i sent i to them and with in 4 days i had a new card...


sold that and now i own a 7800gtx from XFX also..
