Default I need a Gervineer! - 06-05-2005, 03:26 PM
Okay, so. I have this completely shitty video card (GeForce FX5600xt 256MB). It's so shitty I don't even want to talk about it. oOo:

What I do want to talk about is what is a good video card at around $200? I don't want to spend more than that, but I need for my computer to stop fucking locking up every 10 minutes.

kthx

If I had to choose either of thoose two I'd go with the 6600. I have the 128mb model and it runs like a dream.

6600GT 128MB is the sweet spot for mid-range cards.

Leadtek is on sale for $150 with $20 mail in rebate: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814122206
