thanks for any help

Would help alott if you post how much money you have to spend...

but out of the ones you listed the last one is the best.

[SpartanSniper]

yeah i was thinking about that one too and i can probably just split the price with my brother.but one more ?:will it make planetside less laggy and run faster?

[Daleon]

Yea, how much you can spend will really help alot.

The problem with the NV 5200 128 is that has 64 bit memory interface. This is freaking insane. Its half that of the 5600 Ultra which is half that of a 9700 Pro. It absolutely destroy's its performance. The 5200 128 Ultra which does have 128 bit memory interface still doesn't perform all that well but cost about $145+.

That being said, for about $100 or so you can find 9100 Pro 128's, maybe even 9200 Pro 128's now. Try Ebay, about $100 I think.

As for performance, it depends on most of your system and what your running now.

Best value card out there right now is a Radeon 9500 Pro, but it is about $175 I think.
