Video Card

[imported_SiberianX37]

Hi everyone. I am looking at buying a video card for no more than 150bux. Nvidia preferably. Do you guys have any good ideas on what I should get?

its been STRONGLY recommended that you shell out the extra $60, and get a 6600GT. its in a class in itself above the $150 cards.

Are you looking to game with this card? If so, there isn't really anything decent for $150 you can get from Nvidia IMO. (6600GT's are around $200 as far as I know)

You'd be best off (at the $150 price point) looking for a used 9700pro/9800pro (perhaps on the FS/T forums here).

if nvidia is a true priority, then i can be no help...
but a good $150 range card is the ati 9600XT or PRO, im not a 100% sure on the price, but the 9800 is, in my opinion, the best cheaper card

9600s are cheaper then that, and the 6600GT is a better choice then the 9800 for around the same price. its a bit faster, and has SM3.
