Looking for a good PCI video card

Ator · 26-October-05, 08:33 AM

A friend of mine needs to get a better video card (he's using integrated graphics on his Dell), but I don't know where to look for a regular PCI video card. He said he used to have a Radeon 9700 PCI, but i'm not sure if they ever made those. Does anyone know where I can take a look at some of these cards? Thanks guys and gals!

Darn.. [you know you're in trouble when you can't find even the old enthusiast models for your interface anymore], a quick pricegrab seems to conclude that this x600XT is about as fast/ and cheapest price for it as you'll probably get, but maybe you might try Ebay..

Konai ... he's looking for PCI ... not PCI-E.

Someone already put up the NewEgg link, so here's a couple more:

TigerDirect's PCI cards
ZipZoomFly's PCI cards -- note: these guys aren't allowing me to search by interface, so you have to go through the 32mb and 64mb listings to find PCI cards.

But if you're looking for quick and simple, CompUSA's PCI listing has exhorbitant prices for crappy cards.

I must appologize (didn't read thoroughly enough in the rush to get to school this morning) darn mis-organized pricegrabber..
Alas, this is the MOST POWERFUL card you'll find on the market, aswell as the most reputable, AND cheapest source: GeForce FX 5700LE

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. I'll show it to him at work tomorrow, and probably just suggest a motherboard upgrade instead.

I'm sure the FX5700LE isn't worth it.
