Video Card

[razor5000]

Hello all,

Could you please help me find a graphics card? I am hoping soon to buy a new processor, as the one I have at the moment is a bit week when playing games or high definition videos. I have a NVIDIA FX 5200 graphics card which as I am sure you know is rubbish.

Spec:
Abit VA 20
AMD Athlon XP 2000+ (soon to be upgraded to 2Ghz many be more)
1Gb Memory
160Gb Hard Drive

I would like a graphics card that is:

Passively Cooled - Very Important
AGP
NVIDIA based
Dual DVI - Not that important but would be very nice
Around £100 - £150 something like that

Thanks for your help

Regards

If your really into hi def videos, go for the ASUS 7600 GS

Has everything you need, good power for games, PureVideo, even HDCP


Note: As far as i know only the asus version has HDCP

Get the 6800GS. It's £164.44 after VAT. It's like between a 6800 and 6800GT in performance.

This is a review of an Asus V9999 Gamer Edition, which has very similar specs as that 6800GS I linked too.
