What's the most terrifyingly fast PCI card? (NOT PCI-E)

So, what's the fastest PCI card?

Seems to be:

FX5200

or

Radeon 9250 (or SE)

Thanks.

I would hazard a guess at the Radeon 9800

Didn't they only do up to the 9550 in PCI? :confused:

Fastest PCI graphics card:
Nvidia = 5700LE
Ati = Radeon 9250

Swings and roundabouts which is better than which

I think 5700tbh, has dx9, so means aero ready, while the ati won't even do that, as for game performance: Not even the slightest clue.

Does it have to be DX9 or DX9c? I don't think either are 'c' revision, I could be wrong though.

Geforce 6200.

Is the 5700LE still available new?

I can only find the Nvidia FX5200, 6200 and ATI 9250.

They're almost always cripped by a 64-bit memory bus, with a few exceptions (older chips like the Geforce 2\Radeon 9000).

I found a Asus V9570LE/TD/128M by searching for it

OK, I couldn't find any in the UK.

I've gone for a 6200. Will see how it performs in 3DMark 2001
