Budget graphics card help
Alright, I'm finnally building a new comp and I need help selecting a graphis card. I'm on a tight budget and I'm looking for the best card I can get for 100 or less, preferably less.
It needs to be a 4x agp card, no need for tvout. Thanks guys. |

Hi Jp1095,
Check out the ATI Radeon 8500LE, it's a great budget gaming card. |

I'd go with the 128MB if possible, but 64MB can handle most games fine.

64 is adequate for almost all games out now. ATI is the way to go for budget and performance right now.

As weird as it may sound, the Radeon 8500LE is actually faster than the Radeon 9000.
