I picked out this: 84.99$ Video Card- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102019 so far, does anyone else have any ideas or is that a good buy with the 20$ rebate

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814161009 is 90.00$ But i dont know if the heatsink will fit in my case.

i wudnt gET This one,
get the Geforce 7300 256mb DDR2 Its better IMO

I looked at the GeForces, i have one right now its just a 5500fx though. I think the Radeon would perform better, because the RAMDAC bandwith is way higher than the nvidia, the core clock on the Radeon is higher too, but it comes pre overclocked, so i dont know the non-overclocked core clock. Lol your avatar is nvidia....

^ nah believe me,, i Had the same GFX As urs( the FX 5500) 256mb it was good but cudnt keep up with games like battle field...etc cuz its just DDR, And its lil big over for the FX Series, but the 7300 is waaay better, DDR2, Also cheap,

Here is another good card to consider: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814131007
No rebate to deal with and is a 256 bit card instead of 128 like the 1600.

I dont know lol, they both look good, but whats the advantage of the 256bit memory?

nickslick74 · Aug 23, 2006

It allows for more bandwidth. The 1600 does support SM 3.0 and the 800GTO doesn't. Not a big deal right now as most games don't use that yet. Pretty much a toss up between the cards. Its always good to have multiple options!

Hmm, i think i may have to resort to "Which one looks cooler" lol. 256bit allows for more bandwith, but the other 1 has a higher Memory speed, i dont know lol. Definitely not gonna be that 7300 mentioned earlier Lol. I think i am going to get this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102019 because its 5$ cheaper (Jk). But my first thought is usualy the best
