614975 2007-11-25 06:24:00 Hey Guys.

Just Buying A Budget Gaming Card For Older Games Like Half-Life 2, Battlefield 2 And Maybe Call Of Duty 4 On Low (Since People Have Been Playing It On 9550's)

Just Making A Poll On Which Card Would Be Better For Money .vs. Performance.

614976 2007-11-25 06:29:00 Well what do you call budget? I know someone who thinks an $850 8800GTX is budget...

What are YOU wanting to spend?

614977 2007-11-25 06:41:00 I would say he considers around $200 to be budget mejobloggs (264)
614978 2007-11-25 06:44:00 Well Thats What The Poll Is, The Poll Is My Choice Of Cards. CaptainVincent (76)
614979 2007-11-25 07:42:00 I would say he considers around $200 to be budget Well the poll was not there when I posted.

I would suggest an 8600GT 256MB in that case

614980 2007-11-25 18:37:00 If you pop over to Tomsharware.com and read there VGA chart you'll see the 2600XT is marginally faster than the 8600GT so is probably the better buy ;) Pete O'Neil (6584)
614981 2007-11-25 19:29:00 Nope, can't do that because while I might choose one based on its GPU - you ruined the poll by having crap brands in it. pctek (84)
614982 2007-11-25 19:31:00 I don't trust the albatron brand, so I agree with Pete - go with the 2600 XT Greven (91)
614983 2007-11-25 20:54:00 Take your pick between the 2600XT and the 8600GT, I slighter favour the 8600GT (nvidia is doing better with drivers at the moment) but to be quite honest their is little difference between the two (power does favour the 2600XT though, you want see any benefit though cause the 2600XT only has a 128bit bus which limits both cards).

614984 2007-11-25 21:22:00 This would be my choice.
