Best price/performance ratio for an AGP card?
« on: April 17, 2006, 02:05:15 PM »
I'm looking to upgrade my AGP video card for a faster one. My personal PC is the fastest in the house and my oldest has been using it to play any high end games he has, as it's the only one with the horsepower to handle it. Sadly even my system chokes on Quake IV, it's embarassing! I refuse to do yet another full system build at this time, so I am focusing only on the gfx card. Here's the current system specs.

Soyo Dragon Ultra MB(KT400 something something, from memory)
1.5GB DDR400
AthlonXP 3200
Sound Blaster Live!(old f*'ing sound card)
GeForce FX 5700LE AGP
Catweasel MK4(Hey, this is a retro site :-P )

I havn't been following developments in hardware for ~1-2 years too closely so suggestions on the best price/performance ratio would be appreciated. I'm eyeballing this video card. Thoughts? I'd prefer not go far over $200, as in 1 year it will be obsolete junk like my current Geforce FX :lol:
