I need some feedback on video cards. I am trying to replace my current video card because I want to play games like FEAR. I think I have narrowed it down. Keep in mind I want to spend between $100.00 and $200.00. Please give input on which one you all think would be better. Keep in mind I am not a serious gamer and dont feel the need to max my settings but do want the games to run smooth. If you think they are pretty much the same then I would probably go with the cheaper which looks like that would be the ATI. Any comments are welcomed.
NVIDIA Geforce 6600 w/256 RAM
ATI Radeon 9550 w/256 RAM
One other question. I was looking on newegg.com and saw these cards. Why are these two video cards below which appear similiar so different in price? Just curious.
