What's the best video card for the price right now?

I was only looking to spend about $30 after shipping for a new video card for my computer. I don't do much gaming, but would like to get the best card for the money just in case. I just don't keep up on the new equipment enough anymore to be able to make a good decision on my own. I use pricewatch.com to purchase most of my parts usually. It has to be an AGP card. Which one would you get?



Thanks in advance!|||There are no good cards for $30... Card that cheap (like the GeForce FX 5200 and Radeon 9200) are just obsolete crap, literally a waste of money. You're better off saving until you can get a $55 card.



Unfortunately, AGP cards cost more than PCI-E versions of the same model, because there aren't as many manufactured.



The GeForce 6200, Geforce 7300GT, Radeon X1650 and Radeon 2400 are decent low-cost cards, the Radeon 2600XT is better. The Radeon 3850 is hands-down the best AGP card, but that's a $110 card for gamers.



You best bet is probably looking for a used card on Ebay or Craigslist- something that was $75 brand-new might be available for $30ish, but for Ebay, you'll still have shipping costs.



Here's a possibility- 6 days to go, though:

Also checkout Newegg.com.|||For a $30 AGP card it's not going to be that great, but I would recommend the Geforce 6200 AGP. The 5200s are cheaper but they perform significantly worse compared to a 6200.
