Best Gaming Card for $150?

[JumperJones]

Hey guys I have a little money and want to upgrade my video card, any suggestions? Primary use is gaming and $150 is my price range. Thanks

Radeon 7500 is around $199. Well the Radeon 64mb VIVO is a great buy. Well the prices are falling on it. Maybe you can get that and some more Ram.

I can't speak on experience since I just ordered this card and haven't used it yet, but check out the CardExpert GeForce 2 Pro/450 with 64MB of 4.5ns DDR memory. If you search under my name recently you'll see that I posted a couple reviews and asked what people thought. I've heard/read great things. It's ~$135. It's got the fastest memory of any Pro card out there.

The radeon 64DDR will probably drop into your price range in a couple of weeks.

The Radeon64 can't outperform the Ge2 Pro, and I think this guy distinctly asked for a 'gaming' card. If you've got a budget of 150 dollars, get a Geforce2 Pro with the fastest memory available... like the Cardexpert I suppose.

I would go for Radeon 64mb VIVO over the GF2 pro. Well remember the Radeon 64mb does have some DX7 and DX8 features compared to the GF2 pro only having DX7 features. Also more games are going to support its 3rd pixel pipeline giving it a speed increase.

GEFORCE-2-ULTRA!!!!Right now it is 180, but the geforce 3 just dropped 40 bucks, and the geforce 2 pro jsut dropped 50 bucks, so i'm guessing it will drop too.
