magerx7 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Alright, I'll tell you right now, my graphics card stinks, and that's why I'm getting a new and better one in the near future. I'll want one that will be good for games such as Guild Wars and World of Warcraft. If you could suggest some good cards under $200, that would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!

blade995 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 We are going to need more information than that. What is your power supply? What graphics slot do you have? (AGP or PCI-express) Is that budget in American dollars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magerx7 Posted June 3, 2007 Author Share Posted June 3, 2007 Ok, I thought you would need more info but I wasn't sure. My chip at the moment is a RADEON 9100 AGP. The budget is US dollars. I'm not sure where to find what my power supply is. :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blade995 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Well if it's a prebuilt you can Google the model number and find the specs which should include the power supply. If not, you can open you computer case and there should be a label on the power supply (power supply usually located in the top left of a computer case).

magerx7 Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 I'll have to check out my power supply tommarow. My computer is wedged back inbetween the desk and a wall, so getting to it is a bit of a hassle. :roll: Reason for Edit: Typo :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeDaStudd Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Off the top of my head I would recommend a X1950Pro (here). Or the 8600GT, as its more future proof, but doesn't perform as well on DX9 (What all of the current games) link here. Note they both cost ~$130 after rebates. Which leaves you with $70 to spend on a PSU if you need it or some more ram.

It's a lower model than one of the ones listed above, and you save about 20 bucks. It's still a fairly decent card, and still a great deal for the money. The refuge that you built to flee that places that you've come to fear the most ... is the place that you have come to fear the most.Operator - http://www.heartunit.orgCouncil - http://z8.invisionfree.com/skillazModerator - http://forum.meebo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heres the best $300 sub card I can find. Its more powerful then the two other card I recommended. The only thing is that its a DX9 card. If you plan on using vista and playing the DX10 (still far off) I would get this its not as powerful as the other card, but will be more suited to future games and vista, plus its a faction of the price.

Those wouldn't work with what he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blade995 Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Here's the best AGP graphics card that is the fastest I could find for under $200. x1950pro http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814161070 7800GS http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814130274 I think the x1950pro is faster but you would need a second opinion on that.

das1330 Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 blade is correct. the 1950 is faster but neither are "future proof" as they are both dx9 cards, so if you are going to get a new computer sometime in the next year, these will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
