Which cards are best for gaming at under $200?

only ONE currently AVAILABLE choice: Radeon 9800Pro (and it can be had for ~$150 occasionally - on sale).

If you can wait a couple of months, there should be LOTS of choices (6600/X700) that'll be marginally to much better than the 9800p.

Tell me if you see one.

Would be interesting to see where the 6600s released recently would place against the 9800Pros. Wonder why we haven't seen any reviews of them?

look in Hot Deals . . . J&R had one for $155 shipped . . . NewEgg has refurbs for that price.

To CLARIFY an earlier comment i made: some versions of the 6600 and the x700 barely beat the 9800p . . . the faster ones will 'trounce' it . . . don't grab the first 6600/x700 you see.


edit: LOOK at Pricewatch . . . GameVE.com has a 9800p (128MB/256bit) for $151 (edit: NO, it's 128bit)
(do i need to link for you also)
:roll:

2nd Edit;: there ARE reviews of the x700 cxomparing to the 6600 AND the 9800p (and XT) in Anand's OWN review. Somebody isn't "keeping UP".
