**Chief Ryback** · 10-12-2004, 10:24 AM

I have about £80 to spend - Does anyone know which is the best budget PCI-Express card?

Should i be going for ATI or NVidia?

Cheers

I would go for ATI

I think you can get a plain 6600 for that or maybe a tad more

6600

Have you got a motherboard which has a PCI-Express bus?

Yes i have the PCI-E Bus

I ended up ordering a Radeon X600 in the end for £80

i think you should have gone with the 6600 or 6200
the X600 can barely run doom 1 at max settings

ok maybe slightly but from the Benchmarks I've seen, it only barely managed 1024x768 with no filtering on in Far Cry
