PNY Graphics Cards - ok or bad?

[Caylan Raal]

Anyone able to give any feedback on the reliability of PNY gfx cards? Always gone with gigabyte in the past, but recently my card has died and im having difficulty getting hold of a well branded, decent AGP card thats still in stock. Dont want to spend loads of money and cant quite afford a new pc either yet.

Looking specifically at a PNY GE-FORCE 7300GT 512MB. Currently forced to put my cwappy old fx5200 back in the slot which struggles on some things now.

Unless you can differentiate between 52 and 55 fps with your eyes only, doubt you'll notice much difference.

PNY are a decent brand and the 7300GT is not a bad little card. It won't be any good at high resolutions but at 1024x768 it will run pretty much every game.

Tried ebay Cay? Should be able to pick up some bargains.

Also i'd be tempted to go with a high end 6xxx card rather than a low 7xxx card. Or the radeon equivalent as you can get better bargains and the raw performance is better.

These might help
