I'm an ATI Radeon guy

6800GT. It was a beast in its day and I paid a pretty penny for it, now its still a decent card.
Radeon had the better cards in the 9xxx days but its x800 and x1800 lines are subpar.

Radeon 9700PRO

THE best of its generation (which was about 2 generations ago), still a very decent card that only struggles with the most demanding games (such as F.E.A.R.). Cost a small fortune in its day (around 300€), I don't think I'll ever waste that much on a gfx card again

ATI X800. Combined with the rest of my PC, it can handle nearly all modern games no prob at max settings. You should see Far Cry and Half-Life 2, it's beautiful.

I'm looking at either the new AGP version of the nVidia 7800 256 meg or the ATI X1900. Maybe in about two months.

The 7800 means I can keep my MB as is but if I have the cash, that X1900 card look delicious. Beaucoup money though, and I'll need a PCI-E MB to boot.

The 7800 option would cost (today) about $500 w/tx. The X1900 would run $950 w/tx. including the new MB.

Yeesh...

That 7800 is looking better and better. Gah!, I could buy the 7800, a top of the line Viewsonic 19" screen (black case of course!) and a another gig of RAM for the cost of going to a PCI-E setup. And I do want a Viewsonic screen to replace this white cased El Cheapskate 19" I have now.

(I hate white cased screens. )

Ditto here. Good card still, but it struggles on the newer games. Time to upgrade my box soon...

NVidia, a GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X.

Runs Rome, BI, Medieval and a score of other games just fine, however the newers games are going pass this level of video card ( thinks Battlefield2, Oblivion, MTW2 etc. etc. )

So, I'm probably going to save up for a new card...

Another one with the Sapphire X700 Pro PCI-E. Got it about 6 months ago for £110, runs HL2 and RTW at 1024x768 no probs whatsoever. Struggled a bit with the demo for X3 (but what doesn't eh?)

One of the worst nVidias. Often I have to zoom out to the sprite level in RTW to get rid of lagging.

on my pc I'm running an ATI 9600 Pro on my PC, and my laptop has a Nvidia 5600Go card.

My PC runs stuff pretty well, of course I can't max out all my settings, but all told it does well. In RTW most of my settings are medium, and large units (80-100 troops) with little lag, or anything.

When I upgrade my PC, should I send you my old card? These AGP beauties are going to become collectors' items ...

There's a good man! What's your old card? My Incompatible language is an FX5500.

Radeon 9600, 256 mb.

[Somebody Else]

nVidia GeForce Go 7800 256 Mb. I think it's a PCI-Express...

Only got hold of it yesterday, so still haven't given it a proper go yet.

As I posted earlier, I'm running a 9700 pro, which is sort of a '57 Chevy of graphics cards these days. I picked it up well after it was the hottest card, so I didn't have to lay out much cashola. Haven't the foggiest how it stacks up against a 5500.

[lars573]

ATI Radeon X1300 (not the SE which I think stands for **** edition). But I'm not partial to either ATI or Nividia. Now that ATi fixed their drivers.

It would kick it in the butt single handed.
