Title: New Graphics Card
Post by: Grimnar on November 10, 2004, 09:29:25 PM
Well after 3 years my nice TI 4200 128mb is comming to his end.

And i need to look for a nice replacement :(

So what card would you recommend me.

It should be a good card but i don't want to pay much.
(so not those new cards ;) )

Info would be fine. I don't need any sites where i can order one, because i will ask my boss to order one for me (that is cheaper for me :) )

If you need some specs of my pc right now well here they are:

AMD Athlon 2600+
1GB DDR400
280GB HDD
Asus A7N8X-X Mainboard
NEC 2510
LITE-ON DVD-ROM
Audigy 2 zs (that is a 7.1 sound card)
with the box from the audigy plantinum card (the first card i had but i moved that one to my second pc)

That is my system in short words and for now.
Things are going to change within some weeks.
But about what is going to change after the graphics card is still not clear.

What's your budget?  Best value for money card about that isn't the newest generation would probably be the Radeon 9800 Pro, or if you can afford it the XT version.

The 9800SE is a bit on the slow side, I'd go with the 9800Pro myself.
