i have $190 to spend on a video card for my pc as i sold my 5800 for 90bucks, and gave my 9700pro to my brother. so which card would be the best for my pc?
Ati Radeon 9550 256MB, GeForce 5500 OC, or a Radeon 9200. also, it has to run splinter cell chaos theory.

None of them are good chosies, I think your 9700pro beats all of them. Buy a 6600Gt or a 6800Le. The 6800Le is weaker but you can mod and overclok it more and then it will perform. If you need someting cheaper go with the x700pro or XT.

I would really save up for a 6600GT. I wouldn't really go anything lower.

it had a prize giveway with a oj company
this guy EMPTIED 24 cans of oj in the f.ckin grass just to see if he would win something
he didn't win nothing and his mother whupped his ass:fact:
right about now what you just said it seems like stupidity is a game you play with that guy on xbox live

lol xman, its looks like you havent been reading my threads lately. first of all, theres no need for that kinda talk. 2nd of all, i gave my 9700pro to my brother becuase he had a integrated GeForce 4 MX. plus i sold my FX5800 for 90 bucks for a friend that his pc i built. and lastly, i put that money towards a new video card, and splinter cell ct.
ps: right about now what you just said it seems like stupidity is a game you play on the forums. :P

Do you mean that it rips apart your 9550? Because thats the only hting i can think of. No offense, but you asked for help, we gave you the answer and you chose pretty much the worst card for the money... Return that thing before its too late and buy an X700

nope thats not what i mean. what i mean is, there is no such thing as a BBA 9800XT with 128MB. 9800XT's have 256MB. so he has to be wrong or he doesent know anything.

i saw the post where you said you got the 5800 for free and how it's better than the 9700pro i think
don't try and pickup my talk, not one person will agree on what you did, so you just go back and turn on your xbox
BBA 9800xt 128MB those who know
would know built by ati doesn't sell 128mb xt
and that's it a r360 core 9800pro flashed to xt
BBA 9800pro -> flashed to XT
that's exactly why i posted what i did
cause you MAD, now you trying to sh.t me up cause my sig have BBA 9800XT 128MB :nono:
i wouldn't sell my friend my good vcard to buy a piece of sh.t (i wouldn't say the card is sh.t:, but it's sh.t compared to what you had), i would tell him buy the POS
i would only do that for family, and i still wouldn't buy what you bought, i'd have waited, atleast more than a couple hours
you prolly did all that in one day(sell 5800, post here, buy 9550), you asked for help, ppl wasted their time to help and you still went ahead
you should have posted
i'm going from a 9700pro to 5800 to 9550, wish me luck

wow someone needs to really ban your ass. i only got this 9550 to hold me off until july. then i will get a AIW X800XT. then who will be crying now?

crying about what, i'm contented with my card, i could plug in my pci mx420 and i'd still laugh at you
no matter what you do you'll always be remember as the madman who sold his video card to buy sh.t, that's like having to go to work 30miles away and you sold your car and still have to add money to it to buy a bicycle
now go back and play with your xbox

Both of you, bow down to my dual FX 4400!
j/k... and switching to x800XT on July is good. Price will come down too, due to the release of R520 cards I suppose.
