HELP: Looking for a new video card
 
Damo
there are so many 64 mb video cards out there that will more than meet your needs. talking about one in particular to look for is ridiculous. just go to any computer outlet and ask them for a list, you'll be amazed.

I need a new video card badly, my Voodoo3 is outdated and there are no drivers for XP. I'm thinking about either a GeForce3 or a eVGA GeForce4 MX440 64MB AGP. Also, I'm trying to stay in the price range of about $100-200. My friend was telling me to get an ATI Radion...what do you think I should get?


the Radeon 8500 (go to Pricewatch for the cheapest price) is prolly the best deal around.. if you play CS, you will appreciate smoothvision.. I love mine :D

yes Radeon 8500 is very good the fastest ones are as fast as the fastest geoforce4's.

However i believe the radeon 8500 comes in three speeds, so the ones listed on pricewatch might not be as fast as the geoforce4's, but at $125 they are still a good deal.

I almost bought a radeon 8500 at the pricewatch $125 price but instead opted for a geoforce3 ti200 at a similar price. I couldn't find a website that had a comprehensive video card review section so i couldn't really compare them so i just went with my personal preferences.

i must admit, recently i have not really been up to the news on Vid cards, but my roommate, who has been, says that the Radeon8500 is the best deal...

yes your right and the MX cards suck big time...thats why they are cheap...my Gforce 2 GTS 64megs is faster then the MX GF 4...and they dont support Vertex Shader and Pixel Shader....so dont buy it if your a hardcore gamer like me..

Cool, I think the wait for the Ti4200 may have been worth it...check out this IGN test article: http://pc.ign.com/articles/357/357504p1.html

Hopefully I'll be able pick one of these up soon :D
