Curse

Yesterday, my GeForce 6800 Ultra decided to fizzle out on me. Now I have a fairly old system hence the AGP x4/x8 slot. Since I won't be investing much more money in this old system, neither am I inclined to buy a new system at the moment, I'm basically looking for a decent but not very expensive graphics card. It just has to do for now untill I decide to buy a new system. My price range isn't very high since I'm not willing to spend too much money on it anymore around 50/100$, it doesn't have to do that much either. The Geforce 6200 is pretty cheap is it worth anything? Also how long does your GPU last before it fizzles out? Just wondering. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Don't get the 6200 pr any FX that below 5900 just because it's cheap. Go for 7 series instead, 7600 or 7800 both GS & GT. Or if you really want to go cheap, try the old 5950 or 6600gt I've seen it from time to time on ebay. Cheap as chip.

Might be hard to find a good agp card these days and age though.

I recommend either the XFX GeForce 7600GS or the 7800GT, they make AGP versions of both, and both are very good cards (will run all the games you would want to play - read as; no one wants to play Crysis).

Thank you all for your input. I went for the GeForce 7600 GT as suggest by some people. Sorry, Rahja I don't live in the U.S., so I can't use newegg and that card wasn't available here.
