Hey there. Just like the title said.. Does anyone know a decent video card for a reasonable price? I will have to be able to play videos and movies in HD, youtube too, and an occasional mid-graphics game. Thanks in advance! Flame. By the way, the spellingcheck turned out blank. Did I win?

I just picked up a EVGA GT 220 1GB DDR3 for $45. I paid $80 for it and then there was a $35 manufactuer's rebate. I think its a pretty good card as it will play every game on low or medium and even some games on high. It has VGA, DVI, and HDMI output.

The GT 240 can be had for less than $100 as well and its a slight improvement.

Anything right now is an improvement. xD I have an old RADEON 9800SE, which is currently in a coma. Cause of death, no idea. Anyhow, thanks for your input, I'll check it out. Anyone else?

I think I need to raise my limit. :P And I live in the Netherlands. Thanks for everything so far, guys. You've been a real help so far. At least now I know at what cards I need to look. :P Any other suggestions?

I think this is the right site for the Netherlands. 4650 for 49 and I think the banner on the home page says free delivery on all orders. If you revise your budget let us know and I will have another look.

Since you had a 9800SE,you have a PC with an AGP port. Any modern card is PCI-E. Those won't fit and would be way too powerful for an older PC.

The best AGP card is something like a Radeon HD 4650 but that costscloser to 100euro.

Your best bet would be to get a second hand R9800Pro or GF 7900 for 30 euro.

Ugh. Either that, or a new computer? I'm sorry, but can you guys look for me again? This time, it's anything below 100 euros / 130 bucks, the best one could get under that price, and AGP compatible. I hope I'm not bugging you guys too much...

I think the 4650 agp is your best bet but I think the 3850 agp might be a slightly better card. I used to have the 3850 agp card about a year ago and I was very happy with it.

Thanks, Snail. =D I'm impressed how you managed to find that on a Dutch site. :P I'll have my neighbour take a look at it, he's a bit more into computers, but I wanted your suggestions aswell. =) Thanks again, all!
