What is the difference in video cards depending on price?

I found some video cards for ddr2 motherboard for 160$ and others for 60$. I m looking for one with s-video capability. Which one do you recommend as being the best?|||well first you have to ask yourself what am i using this video card for? Gaming, regular usage, home theater.



Then you have to compare video cards and there are 5 different criteria your looking for

1) speed (core clock) measured in Mhz

2 Memory - can range anywhere from 64 mb - 2 gigs

3) Effective Memory Clock - thats how fast the data is traveling from your motherboard to your video card

4) What formats of video encoding. Directx 9, 10, or 11 and/or open GL

5) what outputs you need D-sub, DVI, S-video, HDMI, mini display





If you just looking for a low end video card that your just going to surf to web and need just a little power http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500118



i think this would give you the most bang for the buck. about 87 dollars
