    Default advice on a video card

    Hello , i'm searching a new video card, unfortunately my system support only agp so i'm searching for a cheap video card to play games for about a year more and then upgrading all my system.
    However is a bit diffcult to find a medium level agp card, now i've finded a geforce 7600GS 256 DDR2 for a cheap price (65€) , at the moment i have a 6600 gt, a 7600gs would give me a good improvment or is not worth the investment? thanks

    Hey, that's what I have, but the 512mb version from BFG Tech. It was working fine until I formated my computer, now it has some problems with certain games.

    I don't know if it's worth going from 6600 gt to 7600gs. Maybe you should wait for the DX10 cards (if they appear on agp) but they're restricted to Windows Vista users only...

    I have the 7600gs it is pretty good although for m2tw you will have to run it on medium settings.

    you can always try comparing them here:

    just select the two cards, and then pick your benchmark (make sure to do several, since different card perform better in some apps than others)
