Current best mid-range card?

The 'best card for the money' thread at the top of this forum is for you.

But the short answer is the 7900 GS.

Shoot, I forgot to mention it must be an AGP card.

Thanks.

i have to believe that its gotta be better to just save and change platforms. even if u take that money that was saved for the card and get a mobo with integrated graphics and then upgrade to pci later it seems that pouring money into agp doesnt make sense anymore. i'm by no means an expert just my $0.02

AGP? ouch.

Well you can probably get a 7600 GT around that price, maybe $190-ish if you can find one.

If you consider upgrading, you can get a 7600 GT for ~$130 and you have about $60 for your upgrade... that should cover a motherboard.

If it is AGP then it is the GF7600GT for $150 while the x1950PRO is the best agp card but it is around $250

Your best bet is to try to win a 7800gs of of ebay for that price range. I've seen them go for $180-ish.

I just purchased a X1950 Pro from best buy sunday for $199 - 12% off. Isnt that pretty good card for the money?

thats a great Deal...  

It maybe a good idea to also say what your coming from (PC spec wise) another option might be a x850 basicaly I would go with the cheapest x850 or 7600GT in AGP form.

Awesome. I didn't think the AGP X1950 PROs wouyld be touching $200 yet.

The X1950 PRO is probably the best AGP card in existance...

That's gotta be PCI-E. Haven't seen them for anywhere near that price for AGP.

Yes, it's a BBA PCI-e they had for $199 and many folks got 10 & 12% off coupons in the mail. The Visiontek AGP X1950 pro is on their shelves, but it's $299.

wow $300 for that cash you could sell your old mobo CPU and RAm get a new one and still have cash for like a GF 7600GT PCI-e

Just bought an X850XT from ebay for $69 last week. Usually I see them going for $100+$16 shipping with BIN.

pretty good price i saw a X850XT for $89 open Box from Newegg.com which i believe is a little more reliable then Ebay

Yeah, mine's PCI-E. Your probably right, the agp version was probably not on sale.
