VIDEO CARD HELP!

ok, i was just wondering, I want to be able to play CoD, full details, and no AAor AF. that said, would a good video card be a FX5200 128bit 128mb????

Ive been reading alot about this, mixed reviews, dont forget tho, i live in CANADA, so everything is pretty expensive here.

another thing is that ive heard that the Radeon 9000 pro isnt a good gaming card, i thinks that gay, my freind got one, ne game out there now he can max out and it runs beautifully.

so....just a thought, if thats not considered a gaming card, and neither is the fx5200, i think it will bne pretty good.

can any one here help me to figure out what is better or whats worth it????thanks, on a STRICT budget also

I have a 5200 and I played SOF2 and DoD on max details, except this isn't a gaming card. Most people say it isn't very good for gaming, and CoD is probaly a very demanding game. Now I upgraded to a 9800 and even Halo runs fine.

I'm not sure what video card you should get, but you could wait a while and fine a good deal on a 9600 or something.

What is your budget? That would help recommending a card in your price range.
