I'd definately go with the 9800pro. I think that's the best bang for your buck.Quote:

Its slower than a 9800XT at high res (>1024x768) because of the 128 bit memory bandwidth but I could not find a 9800XT anywhere.
clear
Bigdawg i think i found my card at newegg - Here it got good reviews and im really happy with it but.........it is not in stock :angry:
i'd choose a 6600 GT over a Radeon 9800PRO

its only 15$ over....the card has better benchmarks than the 9800PRO
Yeah , according to what i've heard from many people the nVidia 6600 is the best value card , and i also read that it is better than the 9800XT ... If i have money i'll definetely replace my 9600xt with this card..Quote:

I think that is completly bull because I have that game and currently I am using a Nvidia Geforce 4 mx video card and at that resolution i get way over 125 fps. So they are probably lying about most that also I ran the game with full settings no tweaks maybe my card is just special? :) Also runs Halflife 2 demo 1024x768 with well over 40 fps with full settings so I am very confused.
If you look hard, you can get a Nvidia 6600GT for around $220 though the AGP version are a little hard to find at the moment. Just stop eating junk food for a few weeks and you'll earn that extra 20 bucks.
Well I have reached my discision and i'm going to choose the XFX nVIDIA GeForce 6600GT Video Card, 128MB GDDR3, 128-Bit, Dual DVI, AGP 8X, Model "PVT43AND" -RETAIL
$225 Thanks guys for helping me find a card. :)

Today im buying the card but I have one problem is there a store like radio shack or circuit city or anywhere that has the card I want besides the net? My dad doesn't want to use his credit card???
Whereabouts do you live? There must be a computer shop nearby.
I live in Ingleside texas yes there are circuit city radio shack and some others but im not sure if they have the one i want.
Well I went to Circuit City Today and instead of the 220$ geforce 6600 i go tthe 6800 340$ i hope its better at all.
