Is the GeForce 5900xt a good card for $200? I just saw it at Best Buy, and since im looking to upgrade from this GeForce4mx it seemed pretty good. Anyone thoughts on this--or does anyone own this card? Thanks. Smile

Ahh im so confused on what card to buy! All these different numbers haha. Very Happy

I think im going to wait till a few weeks into May, since the new GeForce 6800 or w/e is coming out April 26th, prices should be dropping soon then. Smile

5200 doesn't suck. It's not the best but for its price, its a very good deal.

And $200 for the 5900XT is an even better deal in my opinion.

Don't buy it because it sounds good. Check the clock speeds and look at some benchmarks.

No matter what brand you buy all cards are going to have different clock speeds. But the highest end nividia one I saw the Gigabyte or something like it had the highest clock speed and core speed of any card.

On the downside im sure it generates a LOT of heat

GeForce 6800 is out now, with the Radeon X800 Pro soon to follow. No matter what you get, unless you're willing to spend $500, you're going to get left in the dust.

Yeah, I got mine for 80$. It may not be the best, but it beats the hell out of my old TNT2.

Yah, I saw that card for 99$. Im told I wouldnt see much of an improvement (if any) over my GeForce 4mx.

When you install a video card, do you need to use a power plug (like that connects to teh hard drive or power supplier?) Some say I do some say I dont, by the way it would be an AGP card.

The high-end cards like the FX5950 or possibly the 5900 and above need direct power from the comp.

The 5200 and 5600 don't.

Does anyone know if
eVGA e-GeForce FX 5500 256MB DDR AGP Graphics Card

If it doesn't specify it probably doesn't need one.

Well, I cant find any information on installation specifically! I google.com it and I find nothing for installation guides, and we all know the workers at BestBuy know nothing. Ahh Smile
