Ive been lurking for a while and figured Id ask here. I have a Dell 4550 P4 2.53 running a GIG of RAM. I dont to a lot of intensive gaming, but I do play CoH, CoV, WoW and a few others. I upgraded the stock video card with a 9200SE. Then replaced that with the 256MB ATI 9550. It was suggested to me that the 6800 GS was a good card as was the 7800 GS/GS CO. I have a 410W power supply on order from www.pcpowerandcooling.com so that end is covered. Im not looking to unlock the card or anything, just want something that will perform well right out of its packaging. Price isnt a huge factor, but the easier on the wallet the better. A new tower will be built later in the year.

TIA
 
Hmm, no opinions between the 6800gs and the 7800gs for my system? Also, its a 2X/4X AGP board. Id hate to throw the coin at the 7800 when the 6800 would have done basically the same thing being im on the 4X AGP. Any and all advise is appreciated. Im going mental trying to read all of the reviews and deciding when I really dont know most of the jargon used in the reviews.
 
They are both good performers. I'd say they perform about as well as each other per dollar.

If you aren't looking for insane high performance or don't run at ultra high resolutions, then the 6800GS is a good choice. From what I hear it performs as well as the 6800 GT, but is significantly cheaper.
