Any good $150 AGP cards better than a 5900 Ultra 256meg?

I've got a Leadtek Winfast A350 Ultra (256mb).

I'm not wanting to upgrade my mobo and CPU just yet, I figure in about a year or so. But I'm wondering if there's any AGP cards out there worth spending $150 on until I'm ready? Or would something like that be only a small increase?

thanks mpjesse!

Further researching your suggestion I've read comparisons saying that a 6600GT is better than a 6800XT?


All of these similar naming conventions make it really confusing... which is I'm sure what Nvidia's plan was. LE, XT, GT, GTX, there really ought to be a chart explaining all of these things.

So, you would recommend the 6800XT over the 6600GT?
Any idea what kind of performance increase these will give me over the 5900?

word. thanks again.

Those things are $100 more for 128 MB more Video RAM...if you have a budget that's not worth it, IMO.

Wow, very nice! If its used, I hope it works.

Edit: To answer your question, most 6600 GTs are below or around $150 these days. For Example: JATON 3DForce6600GT Geforce 6600GT 128MB 128-bit GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X at Newegg.com They're still not a better deal than you got.
