Folks I need your advice,

My AMD64 box I use for a bit of gaming (FS2004, Halflife etc) has got an old graphics card in it ~ nVidia GeForce 6200.

I ran the free 3dMark application to find its 3d score, and it's an embarrasing 326 !!!!

System is running an AMD Athlon64 3500 at 2.2Ghz, 1Gb ram but the graphics are slow in games, even in MS FS2004.

I'm a bit out of date with my Graphics card knowledge, any ideas what I should replace my GeForce 6200 with ?

Can't go to PCI-E as my MoBo doesn't support it

Cheers

Mark

As said my ATi X850XTPE AGP card is for sale, check here https://www.scoobynet.com/computer-and-technology-related-34/535307-powercolour-ati-x850xt-platinum-edition.html and PM me if ure interested. Its a bargain at that price.

The nVidia 7800GS can be had for under £180 now and outperforms all the ATI solutions. Or if you are willing to spend a bit more, the Gainward versions of it run with a full 20 pipeline 7800GT core (24 pipeline 7900GT core in the case of the GS+) and more memory for around £250.

7800GS review here and Gainward 7800GS review here.

I have the Gainward 7800GS and it wipes the floor with my previous X800XT card but I still think the X800/X850 card is very good.
