Thanks for the reply, but i meant AGP video cards.

they are some of the best agp cards the only one that beats a 4670 is a 3870 but they expensive

an nvidia 6600gt (newer version called 7300gt) or 9800 pro would be a small upgrade for agp.

 

[godless]

6600gt? you can get a way better card than that. like the 3850 or 4670. plus the 3850 was only 75bucks after mir.

Thanks for for all the help guys, i really should just go for the 3850..

Problem with AGP is pricing. When you step down in performance, you don't save a lot of cash. Example: HD 4650 down to a 3650 saves you roughly $10. Stepping down to a GDDR2 X1650 pro saves another $10 or so. Hard to spend $60 for one of those if a much better 4650 is $80.

Keep an eye on the memory type/clocks as they do vary. Better to have 512MB of higher clocked GDDR3 than 1GB of low clocked GDDR2.

There isn't much out there new below the X1650 pro that is a step up from your card. Avoid the Geforce FX5x00, 6200, or Radeon 9550... they are below your card.

Depending on your system specs, you may not find the 3850 worth the $95.

What is the CPU and power supply?
