Gaming Graphics Card Suggestions

Hey everyone,

I'm running on an old ATI Radeon 9200 right now and I need to upgrade to a better gaming graphics card. Right now World of Warcraft runs fine but I would like to put my video settings to the max so I can get the full potential of the graphics.
Thanks for your input!

 

Well, what motherboard do you have and how much are you looking to spend?

 

I've got a AMD Athlon 2500+ 1.8 Ghz and I'm looking to spend not over $200.

 

He asked which motherboard. He asked that so he can get the type of VGA standard you would need. With an older system like that you probably have AGP, but there is a chance for PCI-Ex or even and old PCI only mobo.

 

My motherboard is an ECS 741GX-M and I guess my budget is under $150 now.

 

Well, you're limited to PCI or AGP, and given that AGP is preferrable to PCI, the Radeon HD3850 is about the best bet in your price range.

 

Yeah I need an AGP card. PCI won't work for me. How about the GeForce 7600 GS?

 

It's a little older, but it will still be a good boost from the 9200.

 

I got a deal for $80 for the card.
