LOL! I bet you're glad he pointed that out! There are cheap video cards to be had on ebay, and a lot of them do work. If you find a very cheap one that works, rather than use it, put it back on ebay and make a profit. If it doesn't work you got conned, that'll teach you! I don't mind the idea of selling something on ebay but buying things like graphics cards? I wouldn't...

Don't forget its not the GPU anymore its the text pipes and ther things on a card that makes or breaks it.
A Xtreme 6800 can out do most 7200,7300 and even the lower end 7600's. 0-o
TOms hardware has a large Vid card chart comparering their FPSs on newer games.

I said the 7600 not the X1900, although clearly that's the best. Poor canadian people have to pay almost as much as we do!

The 7600 you mean? LOL ATI's drivers now are much better than they used to be, they do everything I want them to do, and they do actually apply it, so where's the problem?

pardon my brand favouritism here, but The Geforce FX series of cards were vastly inferior to Radeon 9000 series cards, hence why most people I know of who bought a card that generation bought the Radeons. The drivers weren't great, but the GeForce ones were worse. There were several game compatibility issues I seem to recall, and there was, most importantly of all, the 3DMark scandal. An FX5900 would pull like 15,000 marks in 3Dmark for whatever, and a Radeon 9800 would get 12,000 - this fooled people into buying the FX thinking it was faster, when in fact the drivers were heavily optimised for 3dmark numbers, and the cards were way inferior performance-wise, some cards achieving only 60% of the speed of the rival ATis. It's market abuse like this that made me prefer ATi stuff, as I knew they could be trusted with more of the promises they made.
Don't be fooled into thinking I'm an anti-nVidia guy though, far from it. In the $100-$150 price bracket, there is no card that can equal a Geforce 7600GT, and a rightly-priced 7800 can also perform quite well, but the GeForce FX/Radeon 9000 series line was not a good time for nVidia. Likewise the Geforce 6/Radeon Xx00 series line was not a good time for ATi, the 6600 being by far preferable to the inferior X600 and X700 series lines. X800s could take on 6800s, but in the midrange market nVidia left ATi in the dust. that situation hasn't changed a great deal in the US now. In the UK, an X1800GTO is the same price as a rival 7600GT, so guess which one I recommend... However, now US prices have gone crazy and the X1800 is 60% more than the 7600, I recommend the other.

They are forever topping each other, you're right, but to compare a 9800 to an FX5200 is just laughable. A 9250Se is more powerful than an FX5200, let alone a 9800XT.
