9600xt. The link didn't show me any product. Are you leaning towards ATI or Nvidia?

[AtomicRadio]

NVIDIA... heres the link again http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814145113

The link works for me.

I really recommend spending $44 more to get a really good 6600 GT http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130220 Also make sure you got at least a 300 watt Power Supply. Do you have a custom built pc or a company pc like example: sony vaio, compaq, hp.

i got a custom rig... and idk if i got a 300 watt power supply... where do i go to see what i have?? and plus i dont want to spend that much. What is the deffence form the 1 i post and urS?

[Homie]

There is a huge diffrence. The one i showed you is alot faster and i recommend spending $44 more for that card. If you can't spend that much i recommend saving up until you got $44 more. Also open your case and look at the power supply and it will tell you how many watts you got. Your power supply should look something like this. http://hltherevolution.com/DSC01840.JPG

yea it said DC out 300... is that good?

[Homie]

It's alright. I just noticed at the bottom of this page http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130220 It says

System Requirements Minimum of a 350 Watt power supply.

I'd probably go get a new Power supply. But make sure the Power supply is 20 pin if your motherboard is 20 pin. Same if your motherboard is 24 pin then get 24 pin Power supply.

yeah like a guy up there said, spend about 50 bucks more and you can get a slightly better video card and you will probably notice the difference

9800pro

6600GT end of Story, it our preforms the 9xxx series from ATI, and is the best mid-range card out there right now.

Let me open up the book...9800pro...the end

can't beat the price/performance

Don't listen to anyone saying 9800 PRO. 12 months ago yes. Now you should avoid like the plague. They were the best card out there for your money but it's been replaced by the 6600GT. You'll get anywhere from 20-50% more out of a 6600GT than a 9800PRO depending on the game/settings etc. This is really the only card to recommend for a mid range price. It's even cheaper than a 9800 PRO. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150089

If you don't believe me check the benchmarks http://graphics.tomshardware.com/gra...s-pcie-04.html Make sure you look at the figures for the 6600GT not the plain 6600

And before anyone starts I'm not an Nvidia fanboy it's just the 6600GT is the best card for the money right this minute.
