Price Guide, January 2006: Video Cards

Low-End Graphics
For the same price as the X700 we suggested on the previous page, the cheapest X1300 variant we are seeing is the Sapphire Radeon X1300 256MB [RTPE: 100141]. We suggest going with the X700 rather than this X1300 since it gives us better performance for the same price.
Lastly, we have here are the Radeon X300's and the GeForce 6200 cards. Any of these choices would be decent enough for very basic graphics. You'll find that these are generally better than onboard graphics, so if you're looking for something just a hair better at a very low cost, these might be for you.
This concludes this week's video card price guide. We thank you for reading and hope to see you back next week as we take a look at storage alternatives. Until next time....

I got my Leadtek 128MB 6800LE AGP for $129USD from Newegg a couple months back. This one fully unlocks so it just made the deal even sweeter.Turin39789 - Monday, January 9, 2006 - link
but how does my ti4200 compare to these cards?Spacecomber - Monday, January 9, 2006 - link
The 6600GT is a bit faster than a 9800 Pro, if that helps situate these cards vis a vis a Ti4200.Turin39789 - Monday, January 9, 2006 - link

No, actually, we were in the process of posting it. You were just lucky enough to see us at work. :-)yacoub - Monday, January 9, 2006 - link
You were in the process of posting it for 30-45 minutes? What are you uploading from, a 14.4k modem? =P(The frontpage tease was there a long time before the link actually went anywhere more than a search page.)
