ATI 9250 PCI for I think 120 (At the time) would be the one I have.
...I didn't know about graphic slots, otherwise I would've got a computer with PCI-e or AGP ;/ |

Just something to keep in mind:
PCI is an outdated standard for video cards now. Any PCI card will have a relative low performance. If your computer has no AGP or PCI Express slot, you probably need to buy a new computer. The new standard for graphics cards is PCI Express. PCI Express (Or PCI-E) is faster than AGP and way faster than the old PCI. If you are buying a new computer, make sure it has a PCI-Express motherboard with a PCI-Express videocard. Last edited by Hyper.nl; Aug 09, 2007 at 06:45 AM // 06:45.. |

If all you are wanting to play is Guild Wars any of these cards will probably be your best bet. Just make sure the card you get is Direct X 9c compatible and you'll be good. Also make sure to research the card you are looking at, and that your computer meets the requirements for the card... This is extremely important when it comes to power supplies. As stated before, PCI is outdated. Newer cards are not being manufactured for PCI slots as it is just too slow compared to newer technology such as PCI-E. Eventually you will have to upgrade your computer to get anything better. |
