Best Graphics Card/cards for under 100$

**Surferman** · 12-25-2005

Hey i wanna know the BEST graphics card for under 100 bucks. I know you cant get much with 100$ but it makes no sense putting a high powered card in a small dell. I just wanna upgrade my graphics for gaming(NFS,Farcry,Halflife 2,doom3,sims,battlefield,etc) Thanks!

To tell you the truth dont bother doing that, if you not going to upgrade it to at least something like 6800 then you wont get all the games to run smoothly. Its better of that you save your money for something. I know it costs more money but it will be worth it. Just try to save as much you can before you decide to buy a card. Seriously it wont be worth buying it since you will have to change it the next year to play newer games.

Whats the best 6800 thats the cheap but still decent?!

6600 FX is what you want for under $100, its £125 over here and can play well on my set up, Can play Half life 2 very smoothly and can play F.E.A.R on a Solid medium - high

I would say a 6800 costs something like 250 and a 6600 is somewhere in the 150's. I would recomend you get a 6800 to make sure that it will last another 2 yrs. I guess you can try the 6600 if you looking to play games like HL2 without great detail. But the question arises is it worth it if it can become out dated in the next year or so.

if you want BEST graphic card, there is no way you want anything below 100 bucks.

don't buy a graphic card under the $100, it sux

really, i bought also one and its bullshit,

if you want to play the games like hl2, bf2, etc buy a card about the 200 300 bucks,

it will be a waist of money if you buy one of $100.

wich one do you now have?

i had also the same problem, i had a old family pc, and i wanted to buy a new graphic card, or a whole new pc, so i first bought a new graphic card, and it still sucks, so i bought a new pc and now its fine
