What is the best gaming video card to buy?

Well sorry to say this but the 7800 GTX processor from nvidia isn't te best one. It was untill ATI released the new radeon 1900 processor. It's aprox 10% faster. But things aren't going to stop here. nVidia already announced the new 7900 GTX processor (to beat what ati has conquered :)). Tehnically speaking, there is no best video card looking at how computers delevop. If today this is the best one, tommorow voila, something better appears. \nAnd if you want a link with a card based on Radeon 1900 processor, well you could try it here:

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.

If you could afford it the Nvidia 7900GTX would be the best, but those are over $500 and huge to boot. I love my 7800GT. They are under $300 and only take up one slot, much more room if you want to go with SLI. Runs cool too, about 40-42C average even while playing games. I have HL2, FEAR, Far Cry, Quake4, all look awesome!\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814150108

The fastest PCI video card you can buy is the 256MB ATI 9250: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102527  If you meant PCI-e, then this would be the best card for the money: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814131319 although you'd probably be happy with this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814161161

I suggest 9600 PRO (Ati) if you can afford it, its a good value for money card if you want to save some money. However the next step up would be a GeForce Nvidia 6600gt.

Well, it all depends on how much money you are willing to spend. \n\nA good, gaming, reasonably-priced graphics card is an Nvidia GeForce 6600. =)\n\nThat will last you a decent time I think.\n\nOh, and it depends also what kind of slots you have on your computer. Be sure to buy a AGP graphics card if you have a slot in your motherboard for that, or buy a PCIe card if your computer is a bit newer and has a slot for it. =)

There is no such thing as the Very Best. Each company has their ups and downs. It all depends on what you need. Nvidia is one of the top though, yes. I personally prefer ATI products.

An 8500 is worthless if you want games to play well.  What price range are you looking at?\n\nI'd say a decent, not great, card would be a 6600 or a 9800 Pro.

check and compare specs and prices. know what you want your card to do. i picked up a nvidia geforce 6600gt for around your price and it works fine for me. i also understand if i want to play some of the newer games coming out i might need to get a better card. but for now this one does great for me. keeps up with multiplayer games and works great when i play games offline. \n\n   look at whatever games you have or are going to get and see what they recommend, and get a card a little better then what they recommend so it isn't obsolete to soon.\n \n   P.S. check out  www.newegg.com  there prices are good and ships fairly fast. also you can compare and read others views on the items you are looking at.

If the eVGA card will do what you want it to, then buy it. Your system sounds like it's a few years old, so I wouldn't spend too much to upgrade it. nVidia (geforce) cards are definitely a better choice performance wise than what ATI offers in your price range. Check online to see if you can find benchmarks for the three cards you are considering and see how they stack up.

get somthing from asus ... lok for the features you want ...plenty of pci expansion slots ...if you dont want to buy a new video card then you need an agp board but if u want to play the latest games you should move up to pci express and get a new video card like an nvidia 7950 ... a sli capable board is a bonus if you ever want to increase video performance even more by adding a second card ... raid is a good feature to have ...sata is better if you want to move up to faster harddrives  ...and get a board that supports ddr2 unless ur wanting to keep ur old memory ... it really depends on if ur wanting to run ur old components off of it or wanting to put together a new system ...

I've you got good money go ahead and buy the Nvidia 7900 GTS, that will make your dreams come true and put a 500 dollar worth of damage in your pocket too.\n\nYou can't go wrong with an Nvidia 6800 GS neither, it's pretty good.

Graphic Card companies like ATI or Nividia are always releasing new graphic cards. I would check their websites and look. Don't be suprised to pay $600  for the best.

The 7900GT is the newer and better card. The 7900GT is almost as fast as the 7800GTX.\nAnd the 7900GTX is currently the King of all the cards.\nIt's a lot faster than ATI's best video card.
