A good AGP video card

[35g700]

Does anyone know a good AGP card that will play Oblivion well for about $100? I want to be able to play oblivion on my current computer until I get my new computer. (current computer only has a FX 5200 128mb)
currently im looking at this card: Newegg.com - POWERCOLOR 26PRO512M AGP Radeon HD 2600PRO 512MB 128-bit GDDR2 AGP 4X/8X HDCP Ready Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards


also looking at this card too

Newegg.com - HIS Hightech H165PRQ512AN-R Radeon X1650PRO 512MB 128-bit GDDR2 AGP 4X/8X Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

The 2600 looks like the best solution. There isnt to many AGP cards out now a days. Most have switched over to PCIe. There are some but not the neset stuff.

My old 5500 is still kicking butt.

You can get a 3850 AGP card.

With this card, you can max out games:

By the way my CPU socket type is 478...

this is my motherboard (I think, Ill check when I get home):ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

new CPU I hope to get(maybe):Newegg.com - Open Box: Intel Pentium 4 3.0E Prescott 3.0GHz 1MB L2 Cache Socket 478 89W Single-Core Processor

and then the video card suggested: Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100228L Radeon HD 3850 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X HDCP Ready Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

also my case: Newegg.com - RAIDMAX Scorpio ATX-868WUP Blue Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 420W Power Supply - Computer Cases accept mine is silver and it has a 500 watt PSU. If that dosn't work i also have a 650 watt BFG powersupply that is going into my new computer (once I get parts in like 4 months) that I can use until then...

My biggest question is will the cooling be good enough with that case if i get a P4 and that video card?

For good cooling, just make sure you have a couple of case fans, no dust, and decent wire management.


cooling only becomes an issue when overclocking, which i assume you wont be doing.

No i wont be over clocking and all fans are in place.
