Worse.
Radeons go in generally this order from oldest to newest:
7xxx series -> 8xxx -> 9xxx ->X--- -> X1--- -> X2--- -> X3---

ahh and aww thought soo my step dad was insisting that it was better so i had to prove him wrong

what kind of slot does your pc use, I'm sure you could find a way better card thats not too expensive.

i dont no what slot it uses im not graphic card savvy as i said. How do i check?

Looks likes its AGP.

Anyway, this is the one I have. It was more expensive when I got it but now its only $50. It works pretty well. I haven't had any problems with it anyway.

i was thinking of getting a nvidia card...

=D

how much is that??? when i get a new job ill most likely buy a new PC and graphic's card.

Well, just in case here are the different slot types:

AGP:


PCI:


PCI Express x16:

as far as slots go, PCIe > AGP > PCI


unless you know what each slot in your pc is, just see what slot your card used, then buy based on slot. that way you only need to look at cards that will actually be able to connect to your motherboard
