Is pricing a concern? How much would you like to spend? The 7600GT can be found for $159 after rebates, which is a heck of a deal if you could budget that. Once we pick a video card out we can select a power supply.

Well,I'am wanting either :1.)XFX 7600GT XXX Edition
or
2.)XFX 7600 XT
or
3.)X1600Pro
or
4.)X1300Pro
or
5.)X800XT

These are the only games that I intend to play;and anyone of these cards will play them well:
1.)Serious Sam 2
2.)Swat 4
3.)America's Army
4.)PainKiller
5.)Quake 4
6.)NBA LIVE 06
7.)Joint Operations:Typhoon Rising

I really don't have a real big budget.So,which ever video card,that will legitimaly perform well and give me some good game play will do.

I have a 17"CRT Monitor & 14"Flat screen monitor

no battlefield 2??????

its a toss up between the 7600 and the x800xt. I had a regular x800 AGP and it ran Quake 4 at max FPS and took a lot to bring it down.

so I'm guessing your budget is under $200?

$100-$149 or $150-$200?

My budget is about $235.00 max

I think 7800gt is a nice choice if you can find one around your price range.


of all the cards you listed, I think 7600 maybe a better pefoermer, but 1600 has mroe feature.

The X1600 performs less than a 6600GT. Don't even think about it!

X1600Pro is out of the race!LOL....................
