My desktop computer is 3 years old now, so is the ATI Radeon 9700 Pro graphics card that came with it. Unfortunately, the graphics card collapsed yesterday, so I have to get a new one. I don't need the best card out there, since I've nearly stopped playing all kinds of games. However, I need one which is at least as good as the previous one, without being too expensive.

Any ideas? I know I should have researched myself more, maybe, but I need to buy a new card as fast as possible, I have lots of stuff on the other computer (schoolwork, song projects etc.) which I have to be able to use again very soon...

all cards since then are just as strong -- good choices right now are the ATi x900 or nVidia 6600GT

Ok, let's say that it's broken for good then... The point is, that I need a new graphics card, a cheap one, that is just as good as my previous one... I forgot to mention, that it has to be in the AGP format, btw...

I'll look into the cards mentioned above there, thanks neo-

Are you sure you need one just as good when you're not gaming?

DurFarc if you like ATI video cards and looking for one thats a little bit more powerfull try the ATI Radeon 9800, even though I would put a bullet into just about any ati card I come across.

here is a link for you to go to look at and buy just becarefull that some seller doesn't screw you over.....

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I bought a card earlier today, so the thread can be closed now if you wish.
