| Post subject: | In the market for a new video card |
and am looking for good places to find deals. I also wouldn't mind some suggestions on which card to get. When I bought my ATI 9700Pro it was one of the top of the line cards (and therefore pricy) but hope to find something mid-range this time. The games I play don't require top of the line vid cards. I haven't shopped for a card in so long. What should I be looking for? Is 512MB vs 256MB a huge deal? Who is making the better mid-range cards these days, ATI or nVidia? Info like that would be most helpful. This also naturally means I will not be in game until I get my new card (turns out the video memory in this one is dying). |

I certainly don't know much video cards but I always had nVidia. Never had any issues. Sorry about the card, man. Have missed you online. Get it fixed asap! |

I have a radeon 9800 pro 256. It is an excellet card but I always said my next card will be an Nvidea card. Nvidea cards handle doul monitors native and ATI always seems to bug up new games for some reason. |

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814150131 Geforce 7800GS's or similar models are pretty much top of the line using AGP. |

I see I can get an ATI Radeon x1300 Pro for $130CDN from a local store. Anyone have experience with this card or know if its decent enough? Looks promising to my unprofessoinal eyes. |
