Um, if you got a FX 5200 you either have AGP or PCI, if you have PCI, buy a whole new computer, if you have AGP you have hope, to have hope you should have at least 1GB of mem, and at least a 2.8ghz or 2800+ processor, if you don't, buy a new comp. A good card that's cheap is a 6600GT, it shuld run at least medium, a good deal for running high would be 6800GT or X800XL.

Re: Debating between two video cards

any card that has 512MB of ram is a rip-off. It dosen't give any performance increase as of now. In the future when games support 512MB cards then you'll see an improvement, by then any card you buy now will be horribly obsolete.

(oh, and get the 850XT :))

Re: Debating between two video cards

yeah my card has a AGP 8x bus and my comp is a P4 3.0 ghz w/ 1 gig of ram. I was looking at some of the nvidia cards including the 6800 ultra and comparing it to the 6600 series. There is an obvious difference between the two. How much of a difference is it during gameplay (especially in bf2 )? Also, how much of a difference is there between the 6800 ultra and the 6800 gt. There is also a second option that i could choose. I could also beg my parents for a 7800 gtx.

Get on your knees...lol. The 7800 would be sweet, but I don't think it comes in AGP. You can overclock those 6800's, if you're into that thing. Otherwise the Ultra is better than the gt and both will smoke a 6600.

Re: Debating between two video cards

I just went and ordered a new X850XT on my lunch break due to the discussions and input in this thread. Just wanted to say thanks for the suggestions and info. It's been on my mind a lot lately which card to get but I've never been able to actually make a concrete decision until today.

What is the difference between agp 8x, agp 16x, and pci?

Re: Debating between two video cards

Thank you all for the input. Clearly the X850XT is the better of the two. Now how about comparing the X850XT ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102483 ) With the GeForce 7800GT( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150108 ). Both are the same price...which would you guys prefer?

Well, i'm mostly an ATI fanboy since i just prefer their cards, but i still can't substitute for raw facts. the 7800GT will outperform the X850 XTPE, cause it has 20 pipelines, which means 25% better performance if all the other stuff like clock speeds are the same. I just want to see what ATi can do about their new series of vid cards, cause they got 2 extra months, i'm not even sure when they're to release it.
