Buying a video card

[TheRaven2156]

I don't want to spend anymore money than 180$ Canadian, is this the best video card (PCI Express) I can get for that price range? or is there a different one I should buy. Thanks for all the replys, im hoping to buy one today but just making sure before I commit.

Get a Geforce 6800nu and if you cant get that card, then get a 6600GT.

I'd go for a 6600GT over a plain 6800.

Check the PCI-e charts at tomshardware: http://graphics.tomshardware.com/graphic/20050524/vga_charts-07.html
the 6600GT significantly outperforms the plain 6800.

6600GT is awesome... plays almost every game out there... but it can only do Far Cry at medium. 🙁 It's upgrade time for me.

As far as i could see, they don't even have any 6800 vanilla cards on NCIX.com.
If they did, they'd be well over the OP price range anyway.
