Prican25 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 both are a bad choice, its walmart for god sake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryph Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Neither. Both of those cards are crap. It would be a waste of money to upgrade to either of those. Save up some more and then get something atleast half way decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weirdy Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Seriously, I recommend to just save up some more and buy something better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 How can you even look at those cards with a straight face? Yes, they do suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_cinder Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 They're all correct, and those cards will NOT run FEAR for you. I can barely get away with it on my Radeon 8500, so you'd better get something like a 9550 at the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken_cinder Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Personally I'd stay away from the earlier FX cards, for several reasons (See TES IV Oblivion, pixel shader implementation is lacking on those cards in hardware). And I'd definitely go with an AGP card if you can, not a PCI card. If you're looking for a card around $80, I'd suggest for an ATi card this one or for an NvIdia card this one. Personally I'd go with the ATi card, as from a non-loyalty (I'm very partial to ATi) standpoint, that x1300 is considerably more powerful than the 6600.

Gryph Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 The x1300 is a nice budget card. I played HL2: Ep. 1 on one and I was impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
