Videocards

[darktiger]

My friend wants to buy 3 videocards for under $100 a piece. He will be doing some moderate gaming(does not have to run at high resolutions and does not care about the best framerates). What do you all suggest.....Are the 9600 regular or 5700fx good cards...

Sorry to link to another hardware website, but Tomshardware has a rundown of the performance of all these cards: http://graphics.tomshardware.com/graphic/20041004/vga_charts-04.html#3dmark_2003

Maybe you could see which games he'd be playing and check out the closest match on those graphs and see what looks best. I think for gaming a 9600Pro would be a rather better choice, but probably more than $100...
