Please, PLEASE have a 'budget card' roundup!

[dderidex]

I BEG any hardware review site reading these forums to consider this again!

There are SO MANY cards available on pricewatch for under $100 now! GF-FX 128mb cards for $73 shipped! GeForce2 Ti for $61 shipped! GeForce3 Ti200 for $65 shipped! Radeon 7500 for $50, 9000 for $63, 8500LE for $70, all shipped prices! Supposedly, the non-pro 9600 will even enter this market at $100, even.

How do these cards stack up against each other now? Which is the fastest, and which provides the most 'bang for your buck'?

I love the 8500LE for price/performance ratio. Now that I have a 9700pro I'd never go back but regardless, it's definitley a phenomal card for the price.

While it is not completely up to date, check out Tom's VGA cards II review article. Except for the lack of the FX cards, you'll get to see everything from the lowly kyro II up to the 9700 Pro on one graph. And you'll even see how they do on an old Athlon 1Ghz system as well as the newer XP2800+.

Enjoy!
