Please help! Looking for a Video Card for under $100.

[imported_gotchaz]

Hi I'm building a system where I want to not spend too much money. I'd like to keep the video card (PCI-E) under $100 if possible. I don't game alot, maybe some RTS' but that's about it. I watch some movies etc.

So far I've seen DIAMOND BV300 Radeon X1300LE 256MB onboard (512MB Hyper Memory) GDDR2 PCI Express x16 Low profile DUAL DVI Video Card - Retail for $99

x800GTO, ~90 on the egg.

get the geforce 7300 gt.Much better performer than the x1300 le.Or for around that price u can get a x1300 xt.Which is basically a x1600 pro?Which means performance is good.

I would spend $112 plus shipping and get this 7600GTS.

You should at least get an X600Pro, which is around $100 or less. There are also a lot of open-box cards you can get for less than $100, such as:

The 7600GTS linked to above is a great card for the money, though, and worth the extra amount if you near the $100 price range. It's clocked significantly faster than a normal 7600GS.

I'd get the $120 AR 7900GS or the $49 AR 7600GS both listed in the Hot Deal forum.

If you insist on a new card with full warranty AND staying around $100, about the best you'll be able to do is either the 7600GTS linked above by LW07 or this EVGA 6600GT:

If you really care about gaming performance though, I'd suggest scaring up another $36 & getting this 7600GT instead... it also has a $20 mail in rebate for a final cost of $109 + shipping & I'd say its by far your best bet.

You might also tale a look as the FS/FT forum where theres a number of X800/850XT's & 6800NU/GT's selling for $90 to $120 shipped.


Edit: That 7900GS from Frys was a great deal, but it's $189 OTD and the deal is only for the 24th.. the 7600GS is still valid till the 30th so its worth considering.
