Get a 512MB one, or none at all. I couldn't tell you which brand to buy though. sry

Sober enough to know what I'm doing, drunk enough to really enjoy doing it

Did you guys hear teh question? He wants a SECOND video card...

Id suggest not spending the money ona second to run in SLI, instead go for an EVGA/BFG/XFX 7600GT or 7900GT...

Itd be a much better upgrade than another 6600(non GT even)....

First, he didnt say what he wanted the second card for... another computer perhaps or upgrading his current pos.

Second, you recommended the same thing as me and max... Looks like you should read the replies. gg

7900gt if u have the cash, 7600gt if u dont. 7900gt runs faster than the 7800gtx, only when overclocked

Depends on which brand of card your looking at...

Some 7900GT's actually outpreform the 7800GTX's...and theyre less money!

Don't get a 7900gt at the moment there are problems with these particular cards.

yes, depends which one u got... im having problems with the overclocking, games lock up and shit. evga says the cards shut down prematurely. but i went from 570 core to 550, 745 mem and it works. 7600gt is the best card under 200 bucks right now

That would be stupid for a gamer. 7600's are not meant for gaming. They are meant for media centers. I would suggest an nvidia 6800 GT.

EDIT - Am i thinking of 7300's? If so go for the 7600.
