Looking for the best AGP at $100 or less for my current system in sig.

Had a 9800Pro which died, and now I need something to replace it. What is the best to get in your guy's opinion? I'm very opened to used items as well ... as long as I can get the warranty.

I personally would be very careful buying a used card..but that's just me. I would look into the card linked above... good cards..

I know what you mean, I don't want to get burned. The nice thing about XFX is that they'll extend their warranty to second owners.
 
Hmmm, you want a card for <=$100 that performs as well as the 9800 and carries a warranty. You don't want much, do you?

Wow, that was really fast! Just wondering ... how does this card perform compared to a 6800GT? I know this one has fewer pipelines(12 vs 16 on the 6800GT). I've been able to find some used 6800GT's around $100.

Thanks.

A 7600GS should perform favorably played against a 6800GT.
 
9800pro = 6600GT = 7300GT
x800GTO = 6800 = 7600GS
x800XL = 6800GT = 7600GT
x850xt = 6800 Ultra = 7600GT KO
 
according to Tom's Hardware on that link that was provider earlier the 6800 gt and ultra outperformed the 7600 gs by aprrox 25% which was roughly 48 fps for the 7600 and 59 fps for the 6800 gt and 68 fps for the 6800 ultra. One of the big thigs that determines video card speed is how much info can be processed at the same time, and the 6800 series is a 256 mg card on a 256bit achitecture. So, even though the speeds might not be as fas its still processing more info at the same time, thus higher fps.
