Trying to stay under $90 US. AGP

Ive narrowed it down to:
GIGABYTE GV-N62128DE Geforce 6200 128MB 64-bit DDR AGP 4X/8X $62
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814125201
(Inserting hyperlinks isnt working for me)

SAPPHIRE Radeon 9600 Pro Advantage 100561 GR Radeon 9600PRO 128MB 128-bit DDR AGP 4X/8X $70
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102408

And a few other 256MB cards. I wanted to know which would give the best performance out of the 9600PRO, 9600XT, and the 6200 with 128MB and 256MB.

I'd check out Bigdawgs thread , but you can't go wrong with the SAPPHIRE Radeon 9600 Pro . God it's only $70 U.S. now ?




While it is dated still some good info for you .

If you mean the video card guide, its way out of date.

Wow what a coincidence. I just replaced video card on a computer here. It had a Sapphire Ati 9600 Pro Advantage 256MB. That card failed after about 8 months use (not overclocked). I replaced it with An Asus Nvidia G-force 6200 128MB. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814121542

I'm not sure which has better performance because the computer isn't used for gaming. All I know is that the fanless design is a great option for silent computing. I also prefer the Nvidia drivers.

one review said that would work for battlefield 2, how would it work for something like world of warcraft cs:source or F.E.A.R? i mean i've been looking at the x800 x850 and 6800 with hopelessness, expensive.
