Hey guys. I have a fairly "old" s754 A64 3200+ setup, with a gig of ram, DFI Lanparty mobo, and a 6800GT (AGP) which just died. Despite what most people may think, and how obsolete AGP is becoming, this still ran every single game I play on the highest settings, very smoothly, even with some AA and AF on.. so I have no need to upgrade to try and get triple digit FPS. I'm fine ever knocking down the settings from Ultra High to just plain High, and bumping the resolution down a notch on the newer games if I ever have to.
I am tryin to spend around $200 on a new video card to replace it. The problem its still AGP, which is "outdated" of course, but I really dont care to upgrade. In fact, I'd be fine with buying another 6800GT to replace it, but I figure I might as well upgrade while I am at it. I was thinking about getting the 7600GT, but it is hard to find. The only places I can find it (in AGP) are around $200. For $35 more, I can get the 7800GS though ($235). I read a lot of mixed things, some saying its worth it and some saying its not, so if anyone has any opinions please help me out here. Also, I know there is that new ATI card coming out, but is it worth waiting for and will it be in my price range?
Thanks!
