At the moment I have a 256MB NVidia GeForce FX 5600XT and am looking to upgrade. I don't have a lot of money and I only have an AGP slot so my options are limited. I have seen this card:

The ATI Radeon 9250 256MB AGP for a reasonable price but aren't sure if this card is significantly better than the one i already have.

I hear good things about the 6600GT but cannot seem to find it new on an AGP card.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.:confused:
 
Featuring video output support

OK, can someone tell me what video card DOES NOT support video output ;)

But I totally agree with Omega. My Macintosh has a 9200, I know how bad they are. Stick with you 5600 if that's all you can afford now.

The 6600GT is good, but I suppose it is becomming more rare. The 7300GT is very similar(sligtly slower) but I don't beleive it's offered in AGP...

I think they mean video output for a tv, either RCA or s-video :P

The family PC has a 9200SE, and it was ok for playing UT2004, but anything newer then that is virtually unplayable. Not to mention it doesnt even support DX9 fully.

Haha, yeah, I figured, but you'd think they'd say TV Output or something like that :rolleyes:

I remember when the 9200 cards came out. One of my friends got one so he'd have a better card than my 8500 :P

Well, i used to have a 9250 on my PC and it almost made no difference from my onboard video!! (nVidia 6150 LE)
 
strangehold already linked to a 6600GT for $100 on Newegg,i'd go with that,cheap price with good performance...plus you can probably get it up to 6800 speeds.
