eVGA 7800GT $334 after MIR!

Such a good deal thought it was worth making a thread for

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130247

This is cheaper than PCI-E 6800GTs were going for 3 months ago, and it eats them for breakfast!

Over $100 off MSRP ($449)

Performance here:

Okay your the expert, give me a good budget card for an old PC so I can play the new Civ 4 on my PC, my current card is years old and doesn't even support most games, ideas, under $100, under $200?

Thanks

Minimum I would recommend
PNY 6600GT AGP $129 after MIR:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814133137

If you have a bit more cash, this is significantly better:
XFX 6800 AGP $144 after MIR:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150106

Both are fast and support latest eye candy & features, more expensive one will let you run with more stuff on

A guy I work with bought an XFX 6600 a few months ago and the card ended up crapping out on him within the first month.
Maybe a fluke but I'm weary of their product quality.

Because it's the latest and greatest right now so nVidia is going to crank the pricing on their 6800's down in order to get rid of them.
