what would a good, relatively cheap, video card be?

i mean, I have a GeForce 5700 LE (128MB) now, what would an upgrade option be?

If this is for real, its a fantastic deal:

Indeed, it is a fantastic deal.

Hey guys, it is for real! I posted about this over at IL2/ubi board & several guys jumped on it, they are posting analysis & benchmarks of all sorts.

"After a few hours of fun, think I can provide some information that could be useful. First, my system specs:

Barton 2500+ o/c to 200x11
2x512MB Corsair PC3200, 6-3-3-2
Audigy 2ZS, latest betas, Driver Version: 5.12.0001.1162

I have posted my [Render_OpenGL], and can add the following BD benchmarks

My 9800 pro had the R350 core, 128MB, with no mods, only after market cooling. The BD numbers indicate the X850XT will yield acceptable FPS during gameplay, regardless of AA and AF settings. The same cannot be said for my 9800 pro.

Hope this answers some questions. Will be glad to do any specific testing if requested."

Right here you can get a 6800Ultra AGP for the same price.

To my opinion that to be a better option.

SM3.0 e.g.

Not that it is widespread use already however you do see a number of games having it already.

It is nice to have a card that has all features.

In searching pricewatch, I could not find a 6800 Ultra AGP at all. The higher-performing 6800GT AGP and Ultras were quite expensive.

So, yours must be a special somewhere. Do you have the link?

No special somewhere.

Couldn't find it ATM, but a month back they had Gigabyte ones.
