So I'm looking to upgrade my GFX Card...

Which do y'all suggest? I only have a single AGP port and a few PCI (NOT PCI-E!!!) slots left in my PC, so...This one? Or this one? Or any others that might be better? o_O

EDIT: Also, how can I tell what format my AGP port is? Found it, it's 8x. >_>
EDIT: This is my current card for reference.

Found a better one. And it's not Tiger Direct-Suck. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814150223

Do the 7950 GT. Trust me. I have it, and it's an AMAZING card. It runs, as an example, BF 2142 at 1024x768 with 2x AA and full AF, and every setting on full at around 80 FPS. But, since that's AGP, and I don't know the rest of your specs, your mileage may vary, although I don't know by how much due to different ports.

hold on shadow, i thought the nVidia GPUs couldn't do AA and AF at the same time? maybe i missed a patch, or and update or something though...

Meaning...? Like AGP format? Because I edited my first post to say that it's 8X compatible. Anyways, sounds like it's pretty good card.

Do you know if it can run Halo 2 Vista?

Maybe it's just me, but the experience I had with Tiger Direct was terrible.

I meant that I don't know if AGP 8X will bottleneck the performance of the card, as compared to my PCIe x16 version of it.
It should run H2V fine if it can handle BF 2142 at full.
