As the title says...simple question:
Which one...
HIS Excalibur ATI Radeon 9550 256MB or XFX GeForce 6200 256MB?

I know they're not new cards but I don't want to spend loads on just 1 thing for my computer and I don't really want to play EVERY game on full video settings, infact I don't really care about graphics as long as I can play the games lol.

Now I know they both play Battlefield 2, but, the GeForce 6200 is supported by TES IV: Oblivion and the Radeon 9550 isn't. I don't exactly want a new graphics card just to play Oblivion but I would like to.

I currently have a GeForceFX 5600 Ultra 128MB but it doesn't exactly let me enjoy playing Battlefield 2 because I can only have it on low (maybe the odd one on medium, textures mainly) and doesn't let me play Oblivion at all without it jumping so much I can't even close the game, also tried it with the "Ultra Low Video Settings" for older graphics cards in the new patch which doesn't work at all.
This card has been giving me a few problems lately though and I think its time to change.

I'm mainly interested in the two cards above and in this topics title so if anyone has had either of these cards before please tell me what you think, also, if anyone has another card they recommend and is similar or better than the two I am interested in (preferably less than £60) then please do so.




Thanks.
 
Thanks for the replies.

I'm not going to get either of those cards now lol, going to get a GeForce 6600 GP 256MB AGP - Its slightly over what I want to spend on a card but i've also been told to get either this card or a 6800 and this is the only one I can really afford at the moment :p
