Hi all
Currently looking at building a cheap gaming rig and am wanting some advice on what graphics card to go with. I'm looking at between £60 and £100 and have seen a fair few cards within this budget, but I haven't been able to find any reviews comparing them. The cards I've been looking at then are as follows:
PCI-X Geforce 6600 GT 128Mb ~£90
PCI-X X1600 Pro 256Mb ~ £85
2nd hand AGP Radeon 9800 Pro/XT 256Mb ~ £65
How do the new budget cards compare to the older top end card? I know having PCI-Express would give me more upgrade potential in the future but I'm not particularly interested in that right now. I'm more interested in how the cards perform against each other.
Therefore does anybody have any decent benchmarks or articles comparing the cards? Also, in your opinion, which would be the better card to go for in pure performance terms?
Thanks
