good AGP card

[skuvnar]

Hi,

I'm currently thinking of buying a new AGP card but can't decide.
I am thinking of buying ATI's x850 or nVidia's 7600GT. Which one is better value? Also please suggest any other 'good' midrange AGP cards.

-Thanks

The X850 Pro is a great card, as you can see, I have one.

I can play games like FEAR, Oblivion and BF2 on high settings, I'd really recomend getting one .

I would go with 7600GT because it support Shader model 3.0 and consume less power.

X850pro and 7600GT performs the same.
X850xt is slightly faster than 7600GT

There's a comparison between the two cards.

I like the X850 Pro but I supose it's down to opinion. ATI or nVidea?

Although the x850PRO is a terrific card, im going to have to go with Maroon. The 7600GT does support DX9.0c and SM3, and would be the better choice overall.

Yeah, the 7600GT is the sweet spot at the moment.
