Does Nvidia have anything to compete in the $130-$150 range?

ATI has the 9600XT ($130) and 9800 128bit ($150). It seems to me the first good Geforce is the 5900XT at $175. What about below that, do they all suck compared to ATI?

Geforce FX5700?

nVidia is just plain not competitive price-for-price below the 6800 nu. At least until the 6600 & 6600GT AGPs come out.

Ya, the 6600s are $130, but not in AGP yet. As far as I know the 5700U are worse than the 5900XTs and more expensive. I don't see how the 5700 can compete unless it's at least as good as a 9600XT.

You sure the 6600 will be out in AGP ever?

5700u is a great card, but not for the price, there were some brand spankin enw BFG 5700u's on chumbo.com not too long ago. That's a pretty decent deal.

5700 Ultra refurb - $125

I would just go with the Radeon 9800 Pro or a 9700 Pro. The 5000 series of nVidia cards should probably be avoided.

nope....geforcefx series cards are too expensive for the performance they bring to the table.

XFX GEFORCE 6600 GT 128MB Dual DVI AGP

I think he meant the regular non GT 6600.

nope, they own the >80 dollar market and 250-400 dollar market tho.

9700pro refurb or 9800pro will be much better.
