GIGABYTE GeForce 6200 512MB GDDR2 AGP 8X Low Profile Video Card GV-N62-512L
GIGABYTE GeForce 6200 512MB GDDR2 AGP 8X Low Profile Video Card GV-N62-512L

Pros: Cheap, Low Power Consumption, Quiet. Supports Shader Model 3.0 in an AGP 8X Card = GREAT!

Cons: Can't handle any games within the past 1-2 years without being on lower graphics settings. This is expected. This card is 512MB at only 64-bit

Overall Review: @Blackfall This card is not going to run any games that are that new without lagging, it is the minimum requirements which means running without crashing the game. I had to play rift on 7-8 frames all the way to 50. Until I bought a Radeon 4950 on here for like $59, and upgraded my motherboard to PCI-Express. AGP is old. But this card will run games that came out longer than 2 years ago pretty decent. However I reccommend if you have PCI-Express on your motherboard you choose another option. If you only have AGP 8x this is the cheapest Shader Model 3.0 card you will find. Motherboards are only like $45 that can support a new PCI-Express card.

XFX Radeon HD 4850 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card HD-485X-ZNFC

Pros: Cheap works great. Cant beat it for the price.

Cons: Runs hot, and loud Requires a 450watt power supply Does not boot everytime system posts but no video Does not boot everytime fan runs on card like it tries to post. Never does.

Overall Review: I would stay away for XFX brand unless you really cant afford an extra $20
