Which is technologically advanced yet affordable (economical) Gaming Card for playing current & future games ?

The 6800GS's would be at the top of my list of affordable, but yet pretty fast.  If you're wanting faster, I'd get a 7900GT, it's almost twice as fast as your 6800GS, plus it has twice the pipelines.  BUT, nVidia doesn't seem to have a supply of them now.  \n\nI just checked all of the places I usually buy computer parts from online, and they're not in stock anywhere.  If you want one soon, take about $350 with you, plus money for taxes, to Fry's Electronics, and you can probably have one tomorrow.

Any card is fine, I suggest either an ATI card, or a Gforce card. You can find cards anywhere now from like $70-$300 that are good. \n\nFirst just check to find out if your computer has AGP, PCI, or PCI-E (PCI Express) ports. To do this look inside your computer. If you see little brown ports that means you have AGP, if you have PCI then you have just plain metal ports, and if you have PCI-E then you have gold ports. PCI-E is the best, followed by AGP, and finally, the oldest type, PCI. \n\nI suggest atleast getting a 256mb card, as that will work for most. If you are into extreme gaming then you might want to head up to the 512mbs. Also, be sure to check if your computer has dual capabilites. Which means you can have two graphic cards at once. \n\nFor more information be sure to check www.wikipedia.com ... Simply search PCI-E ports, AGP ports, or PCI ports, this will help to give you a picture of what your looking for, while looking in your computer. \n\nGood luck! if you need any more help feel free to email me.

Okay, first of all the X1300 is a horrible card for gaming, second of all, I need to see how much 170 euros is in dollars (goes to Google), okay, nice budget you got there.  I would look toward a nVidia 7600GS or 7600GT.  I would go for the GT though if you could, I'd try to get two 7600GS's as they have performance close to a 7900GT when you pair them together over SLi but then you have to have an SLi motherboard and a suffiecently powerful power supply.\n\nIf you're still stuck with AGP look for either the 6600GS or Radeon X1600, they're far from the best but tons better than the worst cards out there.  I hope you aren't stuck with AGP.\n\nSpeaking of which, you'll be buying new cards in about a year for DirectX 10 support and no card made today supports it, they won't be out until the end of the year.  If you need a stop-gap between them, the 7600GT is an excellent choice.

When you say "suitable for gaming", what type of games are you looking at playing?  The really high-end first-person titles like Half-Life 2, Fear, Everquest II etc probably have hardware requirements that far exceed what you've got.   \n\nMost of the high-end gaming cards that offer dual outputs are PCI-Express these days (rather than AGP) and generally have dual-DVI.  The most common configuration is still one VGA and one DVI output port, and you can use a $5 adapter.\n\nThere are a number of older AGP cards that have dual VGA outputs like the GeForce 5200 and ATI Radeon 7000 series, but those aren't fast enough for the newest games.   However, they will handle games like StarCraft, the Sims, and watching photos & video clips just fine.  That might be a good choice for what you're doing.

http://www.newegg.com/\nhttp://www.tigerdirect.com/\n\nYou will see a lot of video cards for ATI and Nvidia chipsets.

Its ok for old games. I would steer away from AMD boards and for that price you can get one at Compusa that is better and same price on sale!

I did some research because I'm faced with the exact same ponderance. For me, the best answer is the ATI X1600 PRO 512 MB AGP card. *I THINK* \n\nBoth the ATI website and the Best Buy website would sell it to me for $299. Newegg.com sold it to me for $139. In a fit of hindsight, since I have time to kill waiting for it to be delivered, I'm looking into what it takes to install the card once it gets here and if I can do it myself or will I have to pay more to get someone to do it correctly. The thing I love about PC games is that the kind of people who are hardcore Gamers are not known to be the most jobful people in the world, yet computer games and parts are among the most astronomically priced things you can buy... TODAY. Tomorrow, the part you just paid upwards of $697 for can be found on the floor of Big Lots swept into a corner because no one would be willing to be seen holding it. \n\nThe Newegg website tells me I have approximately 5 days left before I can expect delivery of my card. If I install it without frying my PC I'll come back and tell you, otherwise you'll read about "Crazed Incoherent Man Shoots at Graphics Card Manufactuer Employee, Self" on the bottom of the back page of the last section of your local paper in 6 days.

Define cheap $.  There are all sorts of price ranges but if you don't want to spend too much then you have several options.  I'm going to assume you have an AGP slot so my response will be limited to that.  I think the Geforce 6600 is about as good as you will be able to do on a limited budget, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814143056 but it is $86, I didn't know if that was too high or not.

BFG GeForce 7800GS is about the best you will still find for AGP. It's time to start thinking of a PCI-e system.\n\nEdit:\nGalaxy brand?!? FX5500?!? Is this meant to be a joke?\n\nBFG has great product and customer support. The card I linked to is $213.77 shipped. Seriously though, it's time to start considering putting those funds towards a more current, ground up build.

You can read here for a quick lesson on graphics cards.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_card\nBut in my opinion, even if you aren't a hard core gamer, you should still get the best graphics card you can reasonably afford. Eventually the newer software programs are going to be written where older graphics cards make the program average. Read the specifications on a graphics card package or game cd and you will see what the minimum requirements your computer must meet are. You want to be better than average so you aren't outdated like you say in a month and a half.

Lol..funny situation. See i just had a 6600gt(pci) in december up until a few days ago. Then all of a sudden it stopped working, and it had decent graphics and good framerates. So i had to buy a new one and decided to go with the 7600gs which is cheaper and recent. I must say that it plays world of warcraft excellently with graphics on full and Doom runs well.\n\nand it runs really cool. at least the PNY one does.

How much are you wanting to spend and do you have an AGP or PCIe slot?\n\nI would not recommend the 1600 series for gaming.  It is at the bottom on my list.  If you want a gaming card get at least an 1800 series ATI card or a 7800 series Nvidia card.\n\nI would recommend you get an ATI 1900 series card then.  Get one that fits in your price range.

The new Nvidia GeForce 7950 GX2 is a great video card for games but cost around 700 bucks
