Cheap graphics cards
2005-09-05, 1:55 PM #1
I'm looking to buy a top of the line graphics card for pretty cheap. I know there's sites out there (factorydirect.ca) that have cheaper prices on graphics cards, and I'd like to find a really good card for cheap prices. I live in Canada and I know where to find them (in toronto theres tons of places however I dont have available transportation to make it to the places where they are sold) so preferably some place where u can buy them online even..

Anyone able to help?

Eh, all I can say is get a 6800 or (if you can afford it) a 7800. A 6600GT will be a waste as it's already seeing slowdown with AA and AF off on some games (FEAR) and will only get worse in the future. The X800 isn't a bad card, and I guess when it comes down to it it's better for the money than the 6800, but as far as against the 7800 goes...yeah, the 7800 destroys it (and has transparent AA, which is actually pretty damn cool).

That's all I have to say.

Yeah, thanks Yoshi.

I also forgot to mention, I am limited to AGP 8x. I don't got PCI X or anything fancy schmancy..

Tigerdirect.ca is a good place to check out also.
