    Well these are the only cards I can afford, please tell me which one is better for games such as Counterstrike:Source and Medal of Honour:Pacific Assault. Please dont talk about other cards because these are really the only ones I can afford.

    FX5700 128MB VIDEO CARD
    128MB ATI RADEON 9250


    Thank

    How well does the card work in general? Do you have 3D Mark, if so what was your score.


    My Pc is a AMD Athlon Xp 2600+, 512Mb RAM, 80Gb Harddrive - will it work well with that

    I would personally say the Radeon 9250. That's one of the better cards out on the market right now...

    Get a NVidia Geforce4 6600GT MSI Edition, 128 Meg. It'll solve all of you problems whatever they are. That's what I tun and I got it for like 300 Canadian so its like 200? 250 down in the USA I'm guessing? Not all that much more than the other ones. All you have to do is save up a little bit more... I also run AMD Athlon 2500+ 1.8~1.9GHz, 1024 (1 Gig) RAM and 80GB Hd. But other than that, I've heard alot of good things about ATI Radeons. Really good things.. Although I head the newer better ones are like really pricey. So out of the two of those id probably lean at the ATI, because FX5700 isn't all that great. But it's a decent video card...

    Yeh, Im in australia so the 6600GT, although I wanted it is about $400 Australian. And this Radeon 9250 is about $50 and I heard some good reviews about so Im thinking I will buy this now, and when I get a part-time job(Im 15) i will get a better card, maybe a 9800pro or a 6600GT.

    ATI will always be better than Nvidia, so get the Radeon 9250. But I suggest you put more money into a card and get the best one on the Market, ATI Radeon x850 Platinum
