What graphics card do you recommend for newest directX?

What card would you recommend for a AGP user (I am still living on my GeForce 2 MX 440\50) that is (hopefully) <$200? If that is at all possible?

a 6800GS i think is ~$200, really nice card. a 7800GS would perform better but i think theyre still priced pretty high

If you need Linux support nVidia's 6800GS as Anaconda suggested would be a good choice. On the ATI side of things, the X800GTO is about the same performance wise.

As a side note if your still using that 2.4 GHz Celeron, both cards are going to be handicapped by the speed of your processor.

Yes, I have the 2.4 Celecron... Could you give me some details?
Oh, but would I still be able to play Oblivion?

Didn't know it was a secret?

If it plays now then yes, it will play and it will be faster.

Ok.... Hopefully it will play... (and FarCry will look better

) and my old computer will get a small facelift... Next thing I need to do Is get some more RAM...

GeForce 2 MX 440\50

... get rid of that p.o.s.

And you use it with Oblivion?!?! It should have posted you a warning "This card is so old the only reason you don't need a water-cooled fan on it is because the mold it has grown dissipates the heat."

I would snail-mail you my old card, if it wasn't the exact same one you have.

I'm going too.... And I don't use it with Oblivion, but I want to, I only use it on FarCry, Morrowind, HL2, Perimeter: Geometry of War...

If it plays now then yes, it will play and it will be faster.

And if it doesn't, will I be able to play it? *Prays*
