Which of these AGP Video cards are better?

Now before you go saying PCI-E this and that, save your breath i know its alot better thats not what im getting at.



Im revamping an older custom built computer that was made back in 2004 and not sure which card to put into it. i searched around for the best AGP card you can get and i came across 2 different cards the:



ATI Radeon HD 4650 with 1Gb GDDR2 DRAM



And



Nvidia Geforce 7800 GS with 256MB GDDR3 of DRAM



to me the ATI card looks higher performance but in the video card category's i fall short handed

which one will be best gaming wise. and is there a AGP card better then these listed that i may have overlooked?



idk if this helps but this is my rig:



Intel Pentium 4 2.36Ghz=== Upgrading to a Pentium 4 HT Extreme Edition 3.4ghz

1GB ( 512 Mb x 2) DDR RAM 333 Mhz=== Upgrading to 2Gb (1GBx 2) 400Mhz

20 Gb WD 7200 RPM EIDE HDD (Primary)===Upgrading to a 320BG 7200 RPM SATA 1 HDD

80 GB Barracuda 4 7200 RPM EIDE HDD ( Slave)===Keeping this as a slave

Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE Sound Card===Upgrading to a Sound Blaster X-FI Xtreme Gamer

Nvidia Geforce FX 5500 Video Card 256Mb GDDR DRAM|||I had a 7800 GS until recently, and loved it, but Tom's Hardware rates the 4650 as the better card. I'd go with the Tom's on this one and get the ATI card.



Check http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/rade… for a Hierarchy Chart. The higher up on the table the card, the better it is. Tom's ranked the HD 4650 one rung higher than the 7800 GS.



I don't know where you've looked, but the HD4670 is AGP as well. It is about 40 bucks more, but I think that is the best AGP chipset overall.|||ok AGP get the powercolor ATI Radeon AGP 1 gb DDR3 HD 4670 for about $109.00 That's what i got and it overloaded my CPU and i had to overclock the cpu to keep up



these are the last of the best AGP cards around see below|||the 1 gb will give better performance

as it has 4 the ram
