shader model 3.0

[sycopathman]

I want to buy a video card for around $100 and it needs shader model 3.0
I know the radeon X1 series has it.
I wanted to know which version of nvidia has it too.
And any suggestions for a 3.0 card for around that price.
Forgot to add its for a pci express not agp.

AGP or PCI express?

PCIe would be the geforce 7600 GS

AGP would be a 6600 GT

Why do you want SM 3.0 so bad?

 

[sycopathman]

Some games require it.
Also I edited my post its PCI express.

76gt

76gt

Agreed. Been seeing them for just around $100 lately. To the OP: anything less than a 7600GT will be a sm3.0 slide show.

g.w. posted a link about the new splintercell utilizing sm3.0
with no path back to sm2.o

7600GT is a great deal at $100.

I look at a online store and couldn't find one for $100 the GT.
Which online stores sells them for that?

yes but the 7900gs is better value if you can afford a bit more

It's about $100 more on newegg. And his price range is $100, so in this case 7600GT is best deal.
