I Have $300 and need a AGP Card and not sure what to get

[puncrawcboi92]

I was thinking the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 256 mb or the Radeon X800XL, but i am open to other cards

6800GT and O/C it to ultra numbers. $290 at Newegg.

How fast can you o/c it?
500mhz/1100mhz?

 

[puncrawcboi92]

Instead of having $300 say I have $200, what is a good card

I think i am going to put $100 away to update my system to an
AMD Athlon 64 3200+

Standard 6800 Ultras run at 400/1.1 and my pair of XFX's go there easily. Add some additional cooling and I have seen guys get them up near 490 but I haven't heard of one at 500 yet. My 6800GT's run really well and relatively coolly at 400/1.1 and I don't push them past that as I haven't had a need to (can play everything maxed out) and want them to last a couple years.

get the XFX 6600GT off of newegg, it's about 150 bucks. With a great setup you can set everything at high in BF2 with decent frames.

what's better the EVGA Geforce 6800 128MB 256-bit DDR AGP 4X/8X or
the ATI Radeon 9800PRO 256MB 256-bit DDR AGP 4X/8X

I am not quite sure but... doesn't the 6600gt beat the 9800pro and the regular 6800?
