new video card..

soo I'm thinking about getting a new card!, so now is time to play choose the card grr :X
http://www.aopen.com/products/vga/pa3000plus.htm (32meg) is what I have right now, but I always have to set the detail to low because its cheap..

so I'm trying to find a new card *does a dance* right now I'm looking at these .. (prices in CDN)

ATi RadeonTM 7000 - 64MB SDRAM 4X AGP TV OUT OEM $58.75
Sapphire Radeon™ 9200 - 128MB DDR, 8XAGP TV OUT $122.50

Gainward Geforce FX5200 128MB DDR DVI TV OUT (3 yr MFR) $147.50 '

bleh :\ but those are just prices in my town i've really checked else where yet :X

Get a Radeon 9000 Pro. It's about $75 US.

Don't bother with the 5200.

For something a bit cheaper maybe try a Radeon 8500 LE, but they're discontinued so hard to find.

Also what's your budget? It'll help us help you.

Hmm... I agree, the 8500le is actually probably better than the 9000 and the 9200. But hard to find. Here's my 2 cents tho. If you could stand to save up just a wittle bit longer , I reccomend the 9600 pro. Much more future proof, and amazing gaming.

ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 128MB DDR $248

OR, if you could find one (There discontinued now, but a few places still got em) The 9500 pro is actually better, becuase it has 8 texture (or was it rendering, or both) pipelines where as the 9600 pro only has 4.

Yeh, I suppose a 9600 is fine. But if you don't play games, then why bother?

Get nividia Geforce 4 64/128 MB video card if you want to play computer games otherwise all their suggestions are good

Malevolent... if you don't play games then he could stick with the card he has. And the 9600 pro is more than just fine. w00t

hmmm
you guys are tough :P
but I might get the 9200 just because someone offered to beat 122cdn :D

also my buget is around 150CDN which isn't alot.

Do you game?

quite a bit
I'd like to play splintercell but my current video card doesn't
support the rendering in it.

Then go for anything above a Radeon 9000.

You can probably find a geforce4 ti4200 for pretty cheap.

I don't know about this stuff in Canada... but hey, ATI is Canadian... they must have some retailers there.
