hello all i am really undecided on which new graphics card to get i am into playin games like most people especially counter strike source . i am looking to spend around £100 on a new AGP graphics card i have so far found these three


128MB AGPx8 NVidia GeForce 6800LE DDR DVI TV-out £102

128MB AGPx8 NVidia GeForce 6600GT GDDR3 DVI TV-out £104

256MB AGPx8 NVidia GeForce 6600 DDR 128-Bit DVI TV-out£75

can anyone tell me which of these cards is best. or recomend any other cards around this price range.

my PC set up at the moment is

AMD athlon 2500+
1024 MB pc3200 memory
and an agp motherboard

thanks alot

the first 6600gt and the 6800 LE are very evenly matched, it would be out of either of these in my opinion.
as far as im aware the 256 meg version of the 6600gt has slower memory, therefore performance would take a hit
 
But the 6800LE can also easily unlock to a 6800GT. But if you dont want to do that then take the GDDR3 6600GT.
 
thanks for the replies.

how do you unlock the 6800LE? obviously this will invalidate the warrany but what are the chances of it wrecking the card
 
sorry for all these questions guys lol but at the moment i have an AMD athlon 2500+ is this processor powerful enuf to get the ful benefits of the 6600gt, 6800LE etc?

cheers
 
6800 gt but it wont play fear on high settings lol

It wont necissarily be a 6800gt becuase of the lack of gddr3 memory, but itll have the pipes, which is a big improvement.
