Help with vga choice

Which is better:

EVGA 7600GT passive cooling 256MB ddr3

Inno3d Geforce 8500gt 512 ddr2

sapphire ati hd 2600pro 512 ddr2

For me DX10 is not a big deal since i can't afford a decent card and i play games at 10x7 res no AA/AF but on high settings

I would like to play CoH,SupCom and Bioshock maybe Crysis

Current config:Cpu E6750,Intel DP35DP,2 GB DDR2 800, 320 gb seagate

I live in lebanon so the prices are a little different : http://www.pcandparts.com/price.htm

Please help asap ordering ....

You have a really nice rig there, sure that you can't pull out some extra money for a 8800GTS or 2900XT?

If you can't, then try to at least get a 7900GS or X1950Pro, they're cheap these days now..

The prices are 2900XT == 589$ and 8800GTs 320 MB 400$ish!

That's way more expensive than i can afford but the X1950 pro was for 220$+10% TAx = 242$ also much expensive!

10x for the reply suggestions....

Do you know any sites that deliver internationally?

go for the geforce 8500 or maybe if you would like to add a little more money go for the 8600. Im sure they are more powerful than the geforce 7 GPU. Sorry i dont know anything about ATi cards.cero10

These are DDR2 versions don't you think it is a limitation?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

DO NOT BUY THE 8500 GT!!!

Try your best to buy the 8600 GT or 2600 XT.

If it's between those cards, I would look at the 7600 GT. But it's a really old card now.

The shopkeeper should be slapped. He/She keeps ordering 512MB versions of low end cards, which is a big no no.

Ask them about the price of the X1900 GT 256MB.

For your needs (it's a shame because you have a really good rig), the 7600 or even the 2600 is fine. But definitely look into that X1900 GT.

It used to retail at 200$Boulio

Fixed my post.

Thank you for your replies and I am gonna go for the 2600 because spending 150$ on an old VGA don't seam reasonable!

I hope I won't regret it! Do you know any performance issues on a rig like that ? Will it run biochock smooth at 10x7 high details no AF/AA?

I would get ATI 2900 PRO $250metroid_mario

Read the original post. :|

So finally my pc is on the way:

1XIntel P4 E6750 2.66GHz 4MB - Core 2 DUO 1333MHz - LGA775 Original Boxed

1X Intel DP35DP w/Sound+SATA+Firewire+1GB Lan& PCI Express

2X 1GB PC-6400 800MHz Kingston DDR2

1X Seagate-Seagate 320GB 7200RPM.10 S-ATA II HDD + SATA power

Adapter 1X Sapphire HD 2600 Pro 512MB PCIe w/TV-OUT

1X Samsung SH-S182M 18X DVDRW - Dual Layer Black LightScribe

Do you think it will run SupCom WiC and bioshock at 10x7 max no AA/AF?
