Best Video Card for the dollar?
 

Sorry if this topic has been done before. I want to buy a new video card. I dont know what to choose from. Right now I have an Elsa GeFoce2 32mb card. It runs pretty good with MoH, i get about 40-90 FPS (depending on map). Money isnt much of an issue, but I would rather not blow 300+ dollars on a freakin card. Any tips and suggestions on the best cards out there?

I often find myself recommending the GeForce 3 Ti 500 on the GameFAQs message boards. No reason to do any different here.

Geforce 4 MX440

MX cards are no good.

Go for a GF3 Ti 500 or higher and you'll be fine.

I have a GF4 MX440 in my old Athlon 550 with 224 mb RAM. Works fine (but not great) with MOHAA and GTA3. A better card probably wouldn't even make much of a difference in that computer anyway.

A friend told me a Radeon 9700 Pro is pretty good. Anyone have one of these? They good? Rough price on it?

GeForce 4 Ti 4200

What sindo said. I just bought a ti4200 64mb and promptly overclocked it for 250/512 to 275/585. Delivered to you door in three days for $120 from newegg. Or for a few dollars less you could buy the inferior gf3ti500.

I agree, awesome card, not to expensive

Geforce 4 Ti4200 128meg.

ROFL

This man is correct. MX cards are complete shit, don't ever think about buying one.

I speak from expierance. lol

Just bought a Gforce4 Ti4200 128mb off price watch. $139..00 bucks.. w/shipping $155.00 and some change
Fry's in my area wanted $249 for the same Card....fuckers

Buy an MX and I will personally deliver the final gunshot to your head. biggrin:

Get a Ti 4200...

...I've got a Ti4200...do I still get the final gunshot..?, I aint never wun nothin' nohow oOo:

The best bang for the buck is the Radeon 9000 Pro It's 99$ and 275 core and 450mhz - 550mhz memory (not sure)

That or the Geforce 4200's 128mb.. are around 150$ +

i got the GF3 TI500 and i must say its the greatest card ever, It blows the GF4 MX's out of the water by so much, i'd compare it with the 4200 its just that good.

awesome, thanks for all the input, you guys all helped me make a decision!

I'd say stick with what you have at the moment and save up for either the Radeon 9700 Pro or go one better and get the NV30/Geforce FX when it finally decides to show itself. Start saving now, and by the time both are getting somewhat affordable, that will be the right time for you to purchase. freak:
