Graphics card.Follow

I am looking for the best graphics card I can get for like 80$ on Ebay, because a geforce fx5200 can play it and they were like 20-40 bucks.. or maybe I'm just ignorant.

You have to watch those FX cards, some of them are ok but some are really not much better then a geforce 3.

I spend $100 on ebay and got the Geforce FX 5600 and have to say its ALOT better then my geforce 3. Id recommend spending about $100 on a fx5600 before a 5200. I think the 5200 has about the same speed as the geforce 3 had, which isn't saying much.

You can get by with lower end cards like a geforce 3, but dont expect any grand performance even on lower settings. Now I have my texture qualitys set to high and the game looks and runs wonderful.

There is a guy on Ebay blazindvd I think is the name. He has the geforce fx 5600 cards with 256 ram for $98 free shipping. I got one and a friend got one and they work great with eq2. Sure there are better cards out there if you don't care to spend nearly double, but for the price you can't go wrong.

Thank you so much. I'm sure this will be great, the bare minimum won't do, because newer games will come out and well, you know. Like the Geforce 2 Mx400 I had which was well.. minimal, it worked for FFXI (sorry to mention its name, lol) Again, thanks!!
