Of those two the nVidia is better, based on the specs, and it is an upgrade over what you currently have. As for what to look for, clock speed, pixel pipelines, memory speed, memory interface, and finally size of memory.

The EVGA nVidia GeForce is somewhat more advantageous suited to run video games listed right here are some constructive factors of that product: *PCI exhibit well matched *GeForce 7200 GS with 450 MHz clock *256MB sixty 4-bit 2.5 ns GDDR2 memory *532 MHz useful memory price *finished DirectX 9 and Open GL 2.0 help look at amazon.

ATI and nvidia are like ford and chevy... they both serve the same purpose, but each have their own unique qualities..
theres a few things to consider when buying a new card:
amount of ram
pipelines
type of card slot you currently have on your motherboard
ive used both brands of cards myself for many years.. and in my opinion the ATI seems to be the one im partial too.
nvidia worked fine.. but it always seemed to have driver issues( something ATI doesnt suffer from)
as far as your upgrade.. you have to ask yourself... is the card doing what you are askling of it?... while playing games.. is their lag at high resolutions? does the screen look clear? and probably the most important question... and i willing to accept the problems that sometimes occur when swapping cards out to gain a half a percent of speed..
bottom line... if yer happy with it now...and its not broken... leave it alone..
happy holidays

you can't tell between the 2
both have a different architecture for it's GPU
I had the 6600GT
and i only had good experiences
it can play any game up to Battlefield 2
that means no BF2142, Oblivion, other extremely high end games.
but Battlefield2 is pretty high up there, i cna play it on all high graphics as well.
i got 2 7800GTs though
they work well
