for 210 pounds

6600GT although budget alot of reviews say it plays doom3 like a 6800gt, and if you get an SLI motheboard two of these can beat a 6800ultra...
Gainward Ultra 1960 Goes Like Hell (6565) GeForce 6600 GT 128MB DDR3

AGP cards:

that will play hl2 in top as that is the card that hl2 was originally designed to be played with
dunno about doom3?
Chunky
agp
arse
if i were you i would go for a r9800xt if you can get them that cheap?
have a search around
remember that nvidias generally play doom3 better and ATIs play hl2 better, although i think you can mod hl2 to run on nvidias perfectly.......
what other system specs do you have?
1024 mb ddr 400 ram athlon 64bit 3.2 g processor
For that price, I'd go for a standard 6800 from nVidia. Below that, for around £150, is the 6600GT - AGP versions should be arriving any time now. ATi doesn't really have anything from the new generation to compete with the 6600GT - the X700 is only on PCI Express right now. The 9800 Pro is still a good card, but the 6600GT beats it most of the time, and only tends to lose when the resolution and AA is turned up.
In short, if you have £200, I would recommend a 6800.
