ppl, i'm runnin on an s3 savage4 16mb VGA(old hat....i kw). thats the only stupid thing on my p4.
i finally decided to upgrade, but i can afford ne 64mb VGA(dont plan on a 128 cuz i mite get those dumb 1s, i'd rather go for the best of the 64mb), so pls suggest a few good 64mb VGAs(prefer ATi or Nvidia,checked their sites too;but i need ur opinion).
10x a bunch
Well, i have an nvidia gforce 4 mx440 card.
The price was good, and no complaints so far.
And the performance is really good, (my opinion)
i have nvidia g-force 4 120mb
but befor that i had nvidia g-force 4 44mx 64mb
and it worked like a charme.......
i think u should but it
HAT TRICK !!
Also a geforce 4 64mb with no complaints!! :)
but sme1 told me that geforce4 mx was compared wit geforce3. heard it was that bad! dunno wat to do. wat do think bout the ATi Radeon 8500LE? got my eyes on it.
ne ways pls name sme class titles that'll work on it(i prefer those max payne type 1st person shooters). My Pc specs.
P4 1.4Ghz, 27+gb free HD space, 384mb ram, creative vibra128 n a 64mb VGA(pretty soon), OS WinXP Pro.
gettin UT2k3,mafia,splinter cell,new world order or smethin;waitin for gta vice city n max payne 2,heard halo n doom 3d will be out 2; will max payne work?
10x a truckload guyz
if you want a 64mb 1 then definitly get a
geforce 4 mx440 64mb ddr
pretty sweet cards for the price of £40ish
altho if ya got the cash splash out on somthing like a geforce4 ti4600
it depends on how much you are willing to spend..
ATI are the speed kings just now, i.e. they have the fastest GPU about.
nVidia are probably much better value for money.
Bit like AMD/Intel really...
Nvidia rulz!
Also about that amd/intel bit lamsey. Intel rules expesially the newest pentium rocks.
AMD processors and nVidia GPUs = good value for money
Intel processors and ATi GPUs = brute force high performance
how come you like nVidia and Intel?
bah, haven't seen any good recmmendations yet......
if u want a good card, get a nvidia Geforce 4Ti4600
i know it's expensive, so only get that if you play alot of graphic intensive games, such as UT2003, C&C Generals, etc etc....
the highest GPU on the market to date is the ATI 9700 Pro.... this costs roughly $350 US dollars, so unless you're REALLLLLLLLLY into high end graphics games.....
I'd suggest a GeForce 4Ti4200..... good price, about $140 US dollars, and great performance......
oh BTW, alot of people mentioned a Geforce4MX.....
let's just say that an GF4MX is a souped up version of a Geforce 2.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!
even a GF3 will beat that any day......
always go for a Ti.......
ex Geforce4Ti
Geforce3Ti..........
hope that helped.....
The ati 8500LE is a good value card (its 'crucial' to shop around) but make sure you install drivers correctly or you could have problems. ;) .
I would agree cost efficient, use that one myself and it gets the job done. If you are lucky you get pick on up even less, I did about $99.00 (US) off Ebay.......ATi, eh not to impressed with them yet, they seem to be coming of age, but as davinda says unless you have the right driver, you could run into problems........Quote:

Nvidia Geforce4 Ti4600 would be nice to have but I'm no forking out $$$ for it just yet, waitin a few months for it to get better priced ;)
Actually, the GeForce 4mx doesn't even some close to the Geforce 3. It is more like the Geforce 2, which is really bad and I don't know why people still buy that card. Go with ATI, they are the best right now. the 9500 is the best value (e.g. Gf4ti 4200 price with Gf4ti 4600 performance). If you are strapped for cash, get the 9000 (It's beats the Gf4mx to a bloddy pulp). Don't even think about playing UT2k3 with anything less than a Gf4ti/Rad9500.

and believe it or not, my friend runs UT2k3 on his Gf2 and he gets about 30-40 fps.........(lmao)
CP is right, go get a GF4Ti4600......they're coming down in price.....
here in Cali they're about $160.....
my friend just bought a GF4Ti4800 and wow, does it kick ass.....
not a major improvement over the 4600, but if u have the extra $20, its pobably worth it.......especially if u know how to tweak the settings, you can get something like 120fps on UT2k3 with everything on extra high......its nuts........
heh, i bet u could probably run Doom III full just fine when it comes out......
hell, Generals (C&C Generals) runs just fine on my GF3.......
planning on getting a GF4Ti4600 as sooon as I save up $150...... :D
I too use a geforce 4 mx440 and it works really well, manages to play every game is highest quality so far :D . Even GTA 3 which my crappy pci 32mb couldn't handle before. You say you don't wan't a 120+ card, so I recommend this, the ti's are faster though.
