Getting new video card, Need some help!

[BallisticMissle]

Alright im getting a new video card and im having troubles choosing between two and here they are:
BFG GeForce OC 128MB AGP Video Card (6600GT)
BFG Technologies GeForce 6200 256MB AGP Video Card

Yeah those are the two, if ones better could you tell me whats better?
also this is my current card, could you tell me whats better if its no trouble
Geforce FX 5700LE

well, your card is pretty old to be playing the latest games. i would suggest the 6600gt, but even more, a 6800nu is better. and if you were a real enthusiast, you should get a 6800gt as it is way better.

The BFG 6600GT will OBLITERATE that 6200.

 

[Munky]

This is in canada, right? For a second, I though I saw the most overpriced cards in history...

Anyway, the 6600gt is WAY faster than the 6200. 256mb is a waste of space on either of these cards, but the gpu speed makes a huge difference

Dont buy from Futureshop dude. You could get a 6800GT for 330$ lol...

Get the 6600gt, or get a 6800nu and softmod it to unlock the 4 hidden pipes and make it from 12p/5vs to 16p/6vs. The 6800NU when softmodded and overclocked comes close to 6800GT stock performance.

you can get a 6600gt (leadtek, best quality) from newegg.com for <$200...close to $170 or 180 if i'm correct.

But, if you're going to spend that much, you might as well get a 6800 or 6800gt.

Pay attention people, he is obviously in Canada with those prices.

That BFG would be a good card to buy, but if you can afford to get a 6800 it would be well worth it.

 

[Ramsez]

Even in canadian money, a 6600GT goes for around 240 when you look even just a little. 330 is deffinitively overpriced. In fact, I payed my eVGA 6800GT 335$ CAD.

 

[BrokenArrow]

No comparison. 6600GT hands down. 256MB on a 6200 is a marketing gimick and pretty worthless.

 

[BallisticMissle]

Yeah, im from Canada, seems like the 6600GT is the best way to go, anyways the only reason im getting it from futureshop is because i have like a Discounts on videos cards there, thanks for all the input guys

 

[ElFenix]

is a 6200 faster than a 5700 to begin with?

 

[BallisticMissle]

Well is the 6600GT a huge improvement over the my FX 5700LE? would it be worth the money/trouble to get a new one?

If you are going to buy from Futureshop why not get this: X800XL for $349 minus whatever discount you get? or this AIW9800 pro for $199 here . They want too much for the Nvidia cards there.

Or how about an X800XT Platinum Edition for $289 Canadian? http://shopati.ca/searchresults.asp?dept_id=38
