Decent AGP card for $50 or cheaper?

I guess if I had only about $50 I'd try to find an honest seller on ebay with a 9800Pro. It'd be used, for sure, but if good it'd be hard to beat for the money. I have used a few FX5200's for very basic systems but I would not spend more than $35-40 on a new one, they're not really that powerful (5200Ultra on Pricewatch is under 40 to your door).

10 bucks.. i could think of many better things-- couple a gallons of arizona tea, game or two of cards.. but that is a fair price. im sure you could put it for sale on ebay and get rid of it fast.

You can have my old 9800pro for $30. Just the card though. I misplaced everything else that came with it (driver CD, etc.). It served me well for about a year and a half, and is still in good working condition. PM me if your interested.

Anyone recommending a gaming level of card should read the statment in bold, it just seems to suggest he's looking for something that will support good desktop resolutions and Windows GUI refresh time. (Like how crap integrated cards are slow to redraw program windows, things like that.)

A used 9700 PRO will completely annihilate a 6200 though...


Ummm no. A 6200 kills a X300 much less a 9700 PRO.

Ummm...no. :roll: Sure, an X300 is much better than a 9700pro... :lol: 
You've got to be joking.

Double no.

A 9700 PRO kills a 6200 AND an X300. Hell, a 9700 PRO will beat an X600 PRO.

Get your facts straight before trying to straighten other people out, homes...

Well I had my benchmarks somewhere on my agp rig but I remember now its an OCed 6200 so that would explain why I would defend it.

Anyway you're right about the 9700 PRO vs. 6200 both @ stock speed.
