Zxian Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 If you can save up a little bit more money, get a 7300GS or an X700. That little bit more money will go a long way for performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmX.Memnoch Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 The thing is...none of them are good choices. Especially for the games you've mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 You're not willing nor apparently financially situated enough to purchase a card suitable for the tasks you wish to accomplish. Save more money. I'd love to have a Raptor drive for $50 but that's absolutely out of the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ven Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Inno3D FX6600 128ddr 64bit tv-dvi 8x. But then again, i only selected it because it got 6600 while the rest got 6200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmX.Memnoch Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 (edited) Since it only has DDR that card is not a particularly good choice either. The memory bandwidth is so crippled that it won't be much better than the 6200 cards in the list with DDR2.As we said, none of them are good choices so no one is willing to tell you "yeah, purchase this one and you'll be ok". Hardware is usually a long term purchase, especially if you're on a limited budget, so you sould save a little more and purchase something you'll be happy with and will last longer...instead of purchasing something you'll be "ok", or possibly disappointed, with.
