Video Card Decision....

Bigshow1030 · 04-22-2005, 09:01 PM

Gentleman I need help deciding on a video card.....I have got $175 dollars to spend on a video card and I need to know what your guy's opinion is. I had a xfx 5700 and it went to shit......so they have refunded part of my money and now I am needing to get a new card. I am only playing games like lock-on(airplane games) and more simulation flying games at about the same caliber......any opinions would be helpful

The 6600GT is seriously fast & should fit your budget.

Yeah I agree with tweaker 6600GT is your best option. right now newegg has a agp 6600GT on sale for $160 after rebates.

everyone will say that the 6600gt is the best card for your budget so go for it.

I have a 6800GT and it's great. If you can't afford it, I bet the 6600 would be great too as the others say here.

...any perticular reason? (besides how much you like the packaging, and the goodies it came with, and the brand.) i mean any technical reason as to why you prefer it over any other brand?

(i read over somewhere else you got an XFX and were raving about it...)
