Best AGP Card for the Money

Strengths: Low Power Consumption, Excellent Warranty, Great Performance, VIVO

Weakness: Not Dual DVI, Expensive Without Sale / Rebate

I have been struggling with the decision of whether or not to upgrade motherboards to get PCIe support. I wasn't sure if it was worth investing serious money in an AGP card at this point. However, seeing as how the mid-range cards are not bandwidth limited with the AGP port, a $200-$250 expense seemed reasonable. The rest of my system (74GB raptor, 1 GB RAM, Athlon 3500+, Shuttle SN95G5) is more...

A midrange card that thinks--and acts like--it costs...

Strengths: TV in/out, Low power consumption, Top-of-the-line features and performance for a midrange price

Weakness: Lack of dual-DVI outputs

I have an eMachines T3256, which was an incredible PC for the price ($399 for an Athlon XP 3200+, 512MB PC3200 RAM, 160GB HDD, DVD+-RW, and second-bay CD-ROM). The system's only real weak point, however, is that it relies upon integrated graphics (GeForce 4MX--better than Intel's integrated option, but not by much). From the beginning, therefore, I'd had it in mind to purchase an AGP video card...

This card is the best for the price

Strengths: Fast FPS on benchmark Great detail in games

Weakness: Heavy card

This card is the best. I can now play Doom 3 and F.E.A.R. without any static screens and great detail. The installation was easy and ATI drivers are always updated so your new card will keep on performing great.

ATI Radeon X800-XL AGP

Strengths: Incredible Speed with Good Value. TIVO = TV in and out.

Weakness: Cannot use with WinMe or Win98. Catalyst control center.

This is an awesome video card. I am able to run all my 3d applications and games at 100FPS at 1280x1024 with 4 x Full Screen Anti-Aliasing (FSAA) and 8 X Anisotropic Filtering (AF) with an Athlon XP 3200. I can even turn up the AF and FSAA even more with a negligible performance hit, but there is no need. With the AGP version of this card you also get TV in (in addition to TV-out). You can split...

XL Means Extra Large

Strengths: Performance, relative price, quality, features.

Weakness: Output options.

This is a fast, cool running and well priced gaming card relative to the competition (6800GT) and blows it away in motion-video performance and quality. The fan can be noisy at full speed but this is to be expected with any single-slot card and can be managed with third-party programs like ATI Tray Tools or you could opt to install a larger aftermarket cooler. The card is relatively long due...

ATI Radeon X800 XL Graphics Card

Strengths: Absolutely great card. Has very useful features such as the FM encoder, and still has the ability to game the newer games.

Weakness: Price

Love the card, can play UT2004, DOOM 3, HL2 at the higher settings with good frame rates. Also provides great everydat features such as the FM, TV tuner. Love the remote and the easy to setup software that came with it.

ATI Radeon X800 XL Graphics Card

Strengths: Great price.

Weakness: None.

Fast card. Low power consumption. Decent manufacturer warranty. Equivalent to the 6800GT, but about $100 cheaper. Hopefully it will be usuable with ATIs Multi Rendering technology when it comes out.

Radeon X800 XL Video Card (256MB, AGP 8X, DVI)

Strengths: Fast card. Low power consumption. Decent manufacturer warranty. Equivalent to the 6800GT, but about $100 cheaper. Hopefully it will be usuable with ATIs Multi Rendering technology when it comes out.

Weakness: none that i know of

Fast card. Low power consumption. Decent manufacturer warranty. Equivalent to the 6800GT, but about $100 cheaper. Hopefully it will be usuable with ATIs Multi Rendering technology when it comes out.Also benchmarks on the card have shown it to out perform the ATI's X850 card in most aspects. So it is very much worth the price and a great card to have.

a good price/performance ratio for agp

Strengths: Lets you turn up eye candy at very playable frame rates. I got a good deal on it :)

Weakness: last generation=not very future proof; Doesn't render some things correctly; Seems to run hot (55C idle); unresponsive, annoying drivers (w/control center)

--I'm coming from a GF4 Ti4400, and I paid $220 AR inc. shipping for this card. --If you can't afford a card with more future proof features (PCI-e, avivo/PureVideo, Shader Model 3.0 support, hardware high-def decode, etc) this is a great value. Otherwise, I would skip this and even the PCI-e version. --Also something people should know: this card renders some things horribly where my 3 y.o. GF4...
