Where can I find the modern video cards ranked? I am interested in cards probably from x800 up and nvidia 6600 up, AGP&PCI-E.

I don't need a mix between NVIDIA and ATI in the same list as I don't want to get into a flamefest. Just one list for NVIDIA and one list for ATI. I could have sworn there used to be a list here, but maybe I'm thinking about CPUs or something...

Anyway, does anyone know of such lists? Im trying to pick a new AGP video card and realize now that such a list would make my choice much much easier.

Thanks!
 
This might be of use.

Yeah it's tomshardware, but it'll give you an idea as to the performance level of the cards you'll be looking at.

If you need direct hardware comparison of cards, check out www.gpureview.com to compare specs of cards side by side.

Yeah,it's pretty good however it's missing the 7900's.
 
In most situations 1800/1900s will likely will take a lead over the 7800's listed there but they do seem to be downright killing them in a lot of those tests. I think there was one where a x800xl was beating a 7800GTX SLI setup.
 
well its something like...

x1900xtx/7900gtx
x1800xt/7900gt

someone finish it off for me plz :p lol
 
I dont know much about ATIs AGP cards.......but the nVidia list is quite short these days:

6600GT
6800GS (I think) This is a short list of good gaming cards. It leaves out the 6800GT .
7800GS

You can find some good 6800 class AGP cards on eBay if you look. The 6800GT is still a great card but not made anymore since the 6800GS. HardOCP has a review of the 7800GS in here somewhere.
 
that link was helpful. with NVIDIA is GT>GS>GTO? or what is with the suffixes? which one is normal, and which one is the crippled version?

Nvidia does have a GTO but you can't really find it. It's slightly faster than the 6800NU. If you're talking about the AGP series, this is the order (at stock):

7800GS>6800Ultra>6800GT>or=6800GS>6800NU/GTO>6600GT

Now let me clarify some things:
-6800GT will overclock to Ultra speeds on the stock cooler 90% of the time.

-6800GS has fewer pipelines than the GT, however when it is clocked around 50 Mhz farther on the core, it will perform near the GT. Also, a feature specific to the AGP GS is that it comes with four pipes and one vertex shader disabled. That means if you can successfully unlock the GS at reference speeds you'll have a GT, and if you overclock it a bit more you'll have an Ultra.

-6800NU/GTO can also unlock to the same 16/6 as the GT, though because of it's far slower memory clocks, it will not overclock to GT speeds (without heavy modding at least).
