What do you think good prices good cards?

 

I dont know anything really.

[mrlipring]

well, i have a ti4200 128mb golden sample 650xp. Do you want vivo? it would appear that the 5200 is SLIGHTLY faster, with dx9 support, but no vivo.

[emsley]

Not sure im a bit of a noober when it comes to cards....

 

What would you go for.

 

I think the last one could be better of coursee you pay more mooney you get beeter stuff

[mrlipring]

do you plan on using tv-in? will you be wanting to capture video?

 

if not, the geforce fx is what you want. either card is pretty good though.

[emsley]

Will it run splinter cell and metal gear solid 2?

[ME!]

it should. just make sure the cards have T&L support, which they most likely do, and you will be set.

[emsley]

T@L effect= smooooooth surficies

 

Will be a few weeks but ill have a new card soon.

Defintly lots better than my Geforce2mx

 

Too bad time has passed my old faithfull by. You just cant get by on 350mhz machine with a 64meg 2mx and 384 megs of ram (':wink:')

[emsley]

The guy knows he stuff

[mrlipring]

either of those cards will play any of the current games just fine, assuming you're running a relatively fast machine anyway. (faster than 1ghz)

 

they both have t@l, yeah. the only difference between them is that the fx has full dx9 support, and the gf4 has tv-in, and is a wee bit slower.

[emsley]

I think i will get the more exscensorive one.
