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.

But the short answer is the 7900 GS.


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

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.

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