GeForce 4 MX 440 AGP8x here I know it sux

Out of those 2, FX 5700LE.  However, you should realise you can buy a Brand New 9200, 9250 for under £30 or a GeForce 6200 for £45.  I'd recommend a 9200 or 9250 over the FX5700LE if you want true DirextX 9 compatability, something the FX series has trouble with.

For £35 it's a good card, just be aware of what you can buy new for the money aswell.

the FX5700 is better, but the FX series does suck, i used to have an FX5600 256mb and it was pretty lame, but still better than your current card traxy. And for £35, there's no reason not to upgrade, you will almost surely see a performance increase.

Brian, is that card better than the card that I'm going to buy, or my current card, because I prefer ATi cards...

How much for it btw?

I think the 9600 is a bit better, but don't quote me on it.

yeam it does sound a bit fishy, but what do i know im not sure about the stats for my computer....lol

i think iv got a GeForce 6200 GT or somthing...lol

NVidia only make two families better: 6600 and 7800.

9600 Pro & 9600XT are better, the 9600 (plain) tends to drop off a lot in OpenGL games compared to a 5700.  However, a 9600 (plain) is better than a 5700LE which is just a crippled 5700 (plain).  I used a Sapphire Atlantis 9600 256MB and a 5700 (plain) 128MB and the 5700 was the much better card.

From a 9000 the next logical upgrade would be either 9600, 5700, X300 or 6200.  Take your pick really, they'll all outperform the 9000.

And one reason is because the 6800 series lacks the Hardware WMV Decoding on the PureVideo chip while the 6600 & 7800 has it.  The other is, the 6800's always had solid competitinio in the X800 & X850 series, while the 6600T has next to no competition and the 7800 is unrivaled for now.

The price, I don't really know, I got it for around 120$ USD, give me your best offer, and I'm shipping it + insurance
