The best card for you depends on your budget. Have a look at Tom's hardware recommendation.
I have a Leadtek 7800 GS (overclocked from 375/1200 to 500/1400) that scores a fine 6700 points in 3D Mark 2005 and 1470 in the Shader Model 3 test in 3D Mark 2006 (you can see here how it stands, e.g. it beats the 1950Pro  which is considered the best AGP card). |
Wow. More great advice. Thanks for the link. I find all this card stuff baffling. According to my computer's manual I have card connector slots for PCI and AGP, but maybe it's better to stick with AGP.:hmm: I can't say I know the difference though.
