Re: What\'s the best low-graphics FPS right now?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102595 is the play if you're floating around $200.
a simple bios flash will open up all 16 pipelines, and it easily runs at 850 speeds.

Please do not buy an ATI card, this will be the worst money you ever spend!

Re: What\'s the best low-graphics FPS right now?
Couldn't possibly be further from the truth. This is an example of either small sample size or fanboi talk.
ATI's have been very well regarded for many years, and in fact until the new Nvidia's came out, were in fact at the top of virtually every magazine and web site's choices for best cards, nearly always beating Nvidia. The truth is, both companies make great cards. But you do have some weirdness attached, like how Mac enthusiasts sometimes think not having a PC is almost a religious or moral choice or something, and say all PC's suck.

It should also be mentioned that the OP probably doesn't have PCI Express. Oh, and Stabn is right about ATI's drivers. Yeah, they have gotten better, but I still trust Nvidia to deal with drivers in a much better way than ATI.

Re: What\'s the best low-graphics FPS right now?
i like nvidia's drivers better too. i'm typing this on a 6600GT, but my work system has a 9800PRO and it's fine.
as far as 'disagreeing with this', what does nvidia have that's close to an X850 XT PE for $230? the 6800GT is $300. if you google 'x800gto2' you'll see all the discussions about it.
