Is that a good deal, or can someone direct me to something better? This Radeon 9200 is really starting to die or something...

No. Seriously. No.

what's wrong with your current card? I have the same...there isn't a problem, at least in renegade, unless you are playing in a 16 vs 16 game with 1024 768 resolution and very high details. course', if it is a game like splinter cell you want to play I see the need, as mine played horrible.

By the way, you can grab an 9700 here in the UK for about 125 pounds. Dunno what that is in dollars, but the dollar is absolute rubbish. imports from the US are cheaper than buying things in retail stores in the UK.

The Saphire is a normal 9600 pro, and the other is a XT9600 pro.
A sort of faster core and stuff.

The 9550 is a good choice as it clocks to a 9700 no problem. (Apprantely)

So, you want this card, but how much are you willing to pay for it?

You can get a good deal for that much.
$150 CDN ~ $125 USD

Quick search on Newegg brought up some nice cards.

By the way - Keep your options open. Don't set your mind on just ATI. nVidia cards are well worth a look.

Here are some choices:
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-164-008&depa=1
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-102-303&depa=1
Or
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-102-464&depa=1
(last two practically the same thing)

GeForce 6600 isn't bad:
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-145-113&depa=1

And the last one:
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-131-227&depa=1

Before you buy, ask yourself if you really need 256MB of memory. Usually 128MB is plenty for most games. Also 128MB cards tend to have slightly better quality of memory.

If you can decide against a 256MB card, then you can afford a better GPU or Chipset.

i got a sapphire 9800se 128mb for £70 from http://www.ebuyer.com if thats any help....never had any probs with it, running 2 monitors from it.

Has 1 DVI and 1 D-Sub connection. Dunno if they still sell exactly the same one, got this a few months back, but you should be able to find similar.

While we are on the subject of video cards, I was wondering if this is a pretty good card I can use?

i found these cards, as you havent given a price heres a really good deal one:
http://www.lowestonweb.com/Products/DisplayInfoMain.asp?e=3633B7C0-E08A-44B6-B583-8A8D0253C1B2

and here is a great card, slightly cheaper
http://www.lowestonweb.com/Products/DisplayInfoMain.asp?e=1F9C71A3-14DE-4718-8681-5B8A9BDE3E08

They also have a price beater policy so its probably best to get it from there ^

Edit- just found this one too

Glyde51:
http://www.asenashop.com/ivn/pr-0/6766.html (they ship to Canada)
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=40158&item=5174030088&rd=1#ebayphotohosting (doubt you'll have the time to get it)
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=40158&item=5176773839&rd=1
(you have the time to get it)
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=40158&item=5175861318&rd=1
(nearly the same)


125.95 USD = 151.558 CAD
It's a good deal, I'm sure we could give you that missing $1.60 Razz

Visorneon: He can't afford that.
