new video card

[fox_au]

am look at upgrading my nvidia geforce fx5200 to a ati 9550 which around $100 AUD could any 1 recomend any other cards for around 100 to 150 AUD am using a agp slot
almost forgot it has to be able to do dual screen

 

[fox_au]

so can any 1 help me out

get a Geforce 6600, it walks all over the 9550 and should be around $150.
I checked UK prices and they are around £60 which is equivelant to AUD $150

hey thanx for ur help i check out how much it is its about $250 aud which is to much for now so might have to stick to the 9550 unless u know any other which are cheaper

A 6600 128MB AGP is $155 lowest in NZ and the AUSD is stronger than NZ and that should out preform it

 

[fox_au]

is the 9550 better than the fx5200

scrach that there the same speed with the 9550 brealy being better just becouse the 5x00 cards sucked that much



do you have AGP? if so 6600GT would be good or even look for a used 6800GT

 

[fox_au]

i just cant afford a 6600gt yet and i was lookin at the 9550 coz it can do dual monitor
