Is this a good graphics card.

Please help me choosing the right graphics card. I want to upgrade my graphics card from GeForce 6200 256 MB AGP card to 7300LE 256 MB PCI-E. The following specifications are for the card Nvidia GeForce 7300LE 256 MB PCI-E Graphic Card.

Will this card run all of the latest games atleast under the minimum settings.

CARD SPECIFICATIONS:
Next-Generation Superscalar GPU architecture
64-bit floating point texture filtering and blending
PCI Express support
Memory Interface - 64-bit
Memory Bandwidth - 6.5 GB/sec.
Fill Rate (billion texels/sec.) - 1.8
Vertices/sec. (million) - 338
Pixels Per Clock (peak) - 4
Memory - DDR2
RAMDAC - 400 MHz
Vertices Per Second 700 million
Pixels per Clock (peak) 20
RAMDACs 400MHz
Memory Date Rate 1.05GHz (vs. standard 1GHz)
Graphics Core 450MHz (vs. standard 400MHz)

My System Configuration:
Pentium 4 3.00 GHz with HT
160 GB Hard Disk
1024 MB DDR RAM
Foxconn 915PL7AE intel chipset motherboard
(This board has both AGP slot and a PCIe slot -SEE IMAGE BELOW)
Onboard Realtek 7.1 Channel sound.
Nvidia Geforce XFX 6200 256MB AGP card (Inserted in the AGP slot of Board)

THIS IS HOW MY MOTHERBOARD LOOKS LIKE

Naw, get a 7600GS atleast.

ya.....u should go from a 6200 to a 7600GS for 8.5k or 7600GT for 12k...

Ya its not a gud move from a 6200 to a 7300LE. Get at least a 7300GT for around 5k.It has DDR3 mem. Its a lot better as its got 128 bit mem interface nd performs somewhat similar to a 7600GS. But 7600GS performs better in higher res nd when effects r turned on.
7300GS: 3.5k
7300GT: 5k
7600GS: 6.5k
7600GT :10~11k.

7600GS -a round 6500
7600GT - 9k+

Don't get anthing less than 7600GT

No get a 7600GS !

Normally a 7600GS will only be unnoticeably or barely noticeably better than a 6600GT. Both of these are low end according to me but a 7600GT is a 6800 ultra competitor and is thus a mainstream card.

Get a 7600GS ...

It depends on the budget. If hes low on it get teh 7600GS nd if he has enough bucks, then get the 7600GT. nd if if has even higher consider 7900GT etc.

Thanks for this info arvind_n20. I first thought the card that i specified would suit me but now i have changed my mind after seeing these replies and from you. My budget is below 7K so i will have to choose wisely. Anyway thanks for the help.

If thats the case go for the 7600GS. Its the best card available for the price. Its better than a 6600GT in perfomance nd also future proof too.
7600GS has the core/mem clocks at 400/800 nd it has the same chip of that of the 7600GT-same no. of pixel as well as vertex pipelines. The only diff is the core nd mem clocks. GT has 560/1400 nd has GDDR3, but GS has DDR2.

Most probably the 7600GS would cost 7k, as its the brand named FORSA whose giving out 7600GS for 6.5k. All other gud brands like ASUS, XFX nd MSI r giving out at a min of 7k.
If u can stretch out around 1.5k more u can buy a 7600GT from a brand named Palit. The 7600GT is most likely a 6800Ultra in perfomance, nd requires much less power nd produce much less heat than the 6800.

well .. the 6800U definitely gets an upper hand at higher res. with more aa ...

The 7600GT is a bit slower than the 6800U only due to the limited 128 bit mem interface..i think, nd also maybe due to less no. if pixel/vertex pipes. But consider the power consumption, heat, card size nd price, its the 7600GT which wins.

I have planned to buy the 7300GT card. so can some one tell me where i could get the 7300GT card for 5K or less.I can find the rates only around 6K..Please dont give ebay link....

7300GT DDR2 is crap, probably much/little worse than a 6600GT.

depends on ur budget but u should go with a 7600 based card
