Graphic Card for World of Warcraft

Hmmm I'd really reccomend getting a Geforce 5700 LE or something instead of a 5500 or 5600 due to the better vertex pipeline and improved fragment pipeline. Or you should also consider the Ati 9600. I believe theres also no Geforce 6200's selling cheap from companies like leadtek which are in fact very decent cards,.

if u can i would suggest a 9800pro u can get them for like 150 at www.newegg.com or if u perfer nvidia then a 6600GT, they should be around the same price.

dont get the 9800 pro actually...6600gt is cheaper and faster !

I have a 6600gt and it works wonders on this game, although what you really need is nice ram, after putting in that other gig of ram, Ironforge no longer rapes my computer

Dont go for the 5700LE, its core/ram speeds are lower then 5500.....

Core and ram speeds are not the most important factors in pc hardware.

i just checked and the cheapest 9800pro i saw was 146, the cheapest 6600Gt i saw was 160 but this was at www.newegg.com .

though i was saying go with what he perfer/Wants, not what every one esle wants want him to get cuz that be what they want and not what he want.

Them 2 is the best 2 budget cards around the 140-160 range he can get thats why i suggest get either of the 2.


Also watch out for 64bit mem buses 5700LEs, stay away from 64bit memory bus cards, and i wouldnt suggest u get a 5200, nor a 5500, since the 5500 is just a oced 5200.

Totally stay away from low end video card's if you want to play real games. The 5200 is a total piece of garbage. Get at least a 9800 Pro or even better the 6600GT like others have said.

omg.. have to safe a bit longer than
I was just hoping for a graphic card that i can use for a while... I dont have to play it on high setting.. just medium setting and a fps around the 30 would be good enough...

i really feel its such a waste of video card like 9800pro in my crappy pc :/
Do note i got a geforce 2 now So i my standards for graphic card is proly quite low..

il have to give this a bit more thinking >< thanks for replies.

your computer is better then what some people have, dont feel sad over it .

Go for the FX 5700, not LE, just and advice.....

to be honest, the 9800 pro isnt that great no more. i dun see how it will be a "waste"?

It kicks the living crap out of a 5200 though.

I suggets 9600 pro, the price is cheap and got nice performance.

Just gotta say, noone should buy FX5700LE. It really sucks. I miss my FX5700ultra...

how come u traded your ultra for LE???

Im betting his got burnt...

You could always get a 6600 regular. Blows those fx cards away and is cheap.

The 6600 is a good value. Probably about the same speed or a bit faster than the 9600XT (aside from mem bandwidth) and quite a bit cheaper.. a 256MB card can be had for $135 on Newegg.

D.D. - why not? The 9800 Pro is still a great card, and I'm not just saying that because I have one.. I know you have one, and are you dissapointed? It'll run anything you throw at it with ease (as long as you aren't kicking up the AA/AF in extreme resolutions, etc.. ), and it's one hell of a lot better than anything else mentioned in this thread.
