Graphic Card Question (Geforce 7800 GS)?

Manufacturer is not a big deal, all four listed are good. Not sure why it is cheaper, but why worry, BFG makes good stuff. I don't see the price dropping much. By the way, the 7800GS is not the most powerful card for AGP, the Radeon X1950Pro is, but is very hard to find for AGP, here is one:http://www.excaliberpc.com/Sapphire_ATI_Radeon_VCX... I checked about 15 stores, its on backorder at all of them.

If you don't overclock anything then go for the cheapest at 200$. The ones that are already overclocked by the manufacturer are pricier because they garantee their overclock. And you will not notice the difference that much. save 100$ and overclock it yourself with the applet "coolbits" if you want.

Of course I would tell you to go with PCI-E since I was in the same dilemna, but when I upgraded the 7800 was 400$ for the basic one so I had no choice but to upgrade everything I wasn't gonna pay 400$ for that card.

But for 200$ it's acceptable. Just don't wast 300$ for it.

The Radeon x1950 Pro is the fastest video card for agp. But it does depend some on the cpu. Some games will run much faster, others are limited to how fast the cpu can get data to the video card. goto www.tomshardware.com to see video and cpu benchmarks.
