New video card (for new system)

Jeff Vincent 24 January 2005 17:51:51
 I've been out of the sim scene for a while, but I'm building a new
PC and want to select a good video card for it. I want to spend no
more than $200US. It will be for old (GPL, NR2003) and new (GTR)
sims. My questions...

Do you think its worth going for a PCIexpress motherboard (right
now I'm thinking AGP), so when (if) I upgrade the video card in a
couple of years, I'll have a decent selection to choose from?

Anti-aliasing was very helpful for racing sims and used to be
better on the ATI cards. Is this still true and is it a good enough
reason to select ATI over NVidia? (My old PC has a Voodoo 5, so I am
a little bit out of the loop. :)­

Some of the candidates I've seen: NVidia 6600, NVidia 6600GT, ATI
9600XT, ATI 9800Pro. What would you recommend?

Thanks for your answers and suggestions...

(FWIW, here's what I'm considering building:
A64 3000+ (socket939),
Abit AV8 (VIA K8T800Pro),
1x 512m PC3200,
Seagate EIDE HD,
NEC ND3520A DVD+-RW, and
Antec SLK2650-BQE w/350w PSU.
My priorities are cheap, quiet, and reasonably high performance.)

"But in a way, fear is a big part of racing, because if there was
nothing to be frightened of, and no limit, any fool could get into
a motor car and racing would not exist as a sport." -- Jim Clark

As for video cards IMO ATI looks the best, and the general thought it they
still out perform Nvidia in the FASO and AF functions, but the gap has
closed with the newer generation cards.. I run GPL, NR2003, and F1C with no
problems on my ATI 9700 pro. IRC ATI doesn't have FSAA with 16 bit color so
that can be a factor in GPL

If you are going to stay with AGP slot then you might as well save a few
more bucks and go with a socket a setup on an Nforce2 400 based board. If I
was to build a 939 setup I would go with a PCIE card for future upgrades.
From what I have seen there is not a lot of price difference between AGP or
PCIE, and the 6600Gt seems to be getting pretty good bang for the buck
ratings.
