Video card comparison

Yes, I know they are old cards. Yes, I know they are crap compared to today's standards.

But, for a casual gamer, what is the better deal:

1. A used PNY 128 MB GeForce FX 5600 Ulltra for $40 or less
2. A used Gainward 128 MB GeForce FX5700 Ultra for $50 or less
3. A new BFG 256 MB 6200 OC for $80. (really, my max budget)

Or, better yet, what would be a good price for #1 or #2?

honestly, i wouldnt waste my $ on those cards u listed...save up and buy a worthwhile card, at LEAST a 6600GT or 6800XT/GS

 

I should have mentioned, I am restricted by a 4x slot and a 250 watt PSU.

Nope. That is exactly the source of my confusion.

Both the specs from Dell and PC Wizard say that the port is version 1.0.

While the ATI support page says "2.0 compliant." Unless that means COMPLIANT but not required and backwards compatible??

So if it fits, its all good?
