Would anyone happen to know a good Video Card? (AGP, not PCI-Express)
I currently have a nVIDIA FX 5500 but I need a card that supports the amount of shading needed to play F.E.A.R., prefferably a nVIDIA card but if Radion has one suitible ill go for it.

how much money do you want to spend... heres a good one for $115 Video Card

I think it would be better to buy the 6600gt than to buy the regular 6600 100 more mhz for 30 bucks more and I bet if you had a good computer with this card you can run most games out right now on high

EDIT: and gaara those new x1000 series are PCI-E only

x800 or x850 you can get either as plat edt for more, or the 6800

x1800 <----I plan on getting this, its refurbished so it's cheaper, but no cords, hopefully I'm getting this

[midknight5]

Well I was looking to spend around maybe 100 - 150, but the only reason I dont want PCI-Express is because I dont really want to havta buy a new motherboard as well.
I just had to buy a new HD because my old one died; so im low on cash.

x800 pro would be my choice. should be able to get one for under $175 (some of the sapphire ones you can flash the bios to x800 xtpe) That link was for a x1800xl which is actually SLOWER than x850xt. Not worth upgrading from an x8xx untill the x1800xts become affordable. Thats my opinion.

nvidia 6800Gt or x850pro both are AGP cost 280-350 $
if i sell my laptop and buy a better laptop an asus i might be able to play cs source again. ill have an x600 64mb card with hypermemory or something like that i read in reviews that they tested it with hl2 and it worked. hehehe who knos. i need to raise 800 bucks to get the new laptop

[ManGay [ARP]]

yea if you're not looking to spend much i would definetly buy the 6600gt really the best bang for the buck right now for AGP

[Haven]

or a Radeon 9800 that will last you a while.

[misterweels]

they stop making 9800 then again they stopped making agp cards now too i think

[Haven]

errr i just saw a 9800 at best buy, and a bunch of other AGP's, hardly anyone I know uses PCI express.....

[ManGay [ARP]]

no they didn't they will soon but they didn't and they have good cheap 9800s at newegg.com

[S.W.A.T. 2.0]

If you're on a budget get a 6600 GT, I just saw one for $112 or so on Newegg.com.

[Haven]

yea my neighbor just got the 6600, he gets like 120 FPS on his 1 gig of RAM, and 2.8 Ghz Dual Core intel.
