Is there any decent videocard out there that can run on a 330w PSU?

Ok, I recently played the FEAR demo and all I can say is, I want it. Now I know no matter what I get without a complete system upgrade won't be able to play it with most things turned on, but I would like something better than my current card. (ti4600) However, my current PSU is an Antec True330, so I'm a bit worried on what I can get that will work. (Also needs to be AGP)

Something like an AGP x800 Pro should do the trick, or a 6600GT if that is more in your budget.

A gf 6800(nu) has pretty low power consumption, so you might want to consider that one.

You'd probably find a 7800GT runs fine.

*edit* sorry, didn't read closely enough, no 7800's for AGP

I was thinking of getting that one, although one better would be nicer. My biggest concern is the 6600gt consuming too much power though.

Nvidia recommends a 300w PSU for the 6600GT, I'm running one on a generic 350watt Rosewill PSU just fine. I'm sure a 330w would handle it with ease. Personally I'd go for a 6800 though, and preferably one that unlocks. The 6600GT is just barely enough power to run FEAR decently.

Ooh, thanks for those, klah! I guess it helps to look sometimes.

And the 6800GT would definitely be better, but the 6600GT is so much cheaper. (120-130) My fault for not saying my cheapness at the moment though.

If you have a quality 6800GT it will run fine.

6600GT will run fine. As will a 6800nu.
