Video card question

**Yngwie** · 01-20-2006, 05:00 AM

or maybe you know an online store in the US that I can buy a very good card for the price limit I set.

**crackerboy** · 01-20-2006, 05:01 AM

Well new games does req a bit of power so i would go with a 6600 gt card thats less then 200
now its not the best but it will get the job done or if you go up to about 250 dollars a 6800 gs card

edit
does the card need to be AGP or PCI-E ?

I heard many good things about leadtek. I know a lot about computers, but I just want to make sure that I get a good video card. With all the stuff coming out when it comes to video cards it can be a tad confusing haha

also a good card, but I have a regular CRT monitor so I need a vga plugin. This one has dual DVI

**Fah King** · 01-20-2006, 05:10 AM

All new cards come with DVI but they also come with 2 DVI to VGA converters so you shouldnt have a problem

**crackerboy** · 01-20-2006, 05:10 AM

**crackerboy** · 01-20-2006, 05:11 AM

If you go wiht Leadtek, make sure you update your drivers for the card. Use the LEADTEK from their site drivers. A lot of people recommend different things for these cards from support forums. Do NOT use the nvidia, or some of the other support drivers. Each can cause different issues of annoyance. Especially the 6600 gt. I have it. Had problems initially, and most of it was driver related.

Other than that, good card.

**Korban** · 01-20-2006, 08:09 AM

You won't find anything decent for under $200

**EdgeXXX** · 01-20-2006, 08:14 AM

Have you looked at Newegg.com?

ATI is the best?

They have HORRIBLE support, drivers are a mess and their software suites are utter complete garbage.
