I have a Dell pentIII about two years old with a voodoo3 card in it.

The mpdemo for MOHaa works fine but the bushes and trees are all sharp blobs and shards etc., muzzle flashes are literally square blocks, and the basic details are pretty bland. (My roommate has a Radion LE so I can see what they are suppose to look like.)

What video card(s) would you all recommend? I really don't think I can justify a $300 G Force 3, etc. But want to know what are the good cards for 3-D gaming.

Also, should I expect any problems putting such a new-age card in a PIII Dell?

thanks a lot.

geforce3's are really cheap on pricewatch

gforce 3 only cost me 200 bucks

Try getting new drivers. Go to http://www.voodoofiles.com adn get some 3rd party drivers.

I have a GeForce 2 GTS and i am going to replace it withe Radeon 8500 http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/smile.gif)

Its apparently a good bit faster (with the new drivers ) than the Geforce Ti 500.

Its also a good bit cheaper.

I have a geforce 3 but if money is tight, the best deal I seen is that Comp USA has an after christmas sale for Visionteks Ecstasy Geforce 2 Titatium 200 64 megs ddr, which is the same as the geforce2 pros for $99. On the net I seen them cheapest for 120 plus shipping. So I think you should check it out.

at the moment im running everything at 800x??? with medium settings with a fairly average framerate and my comp cant really handle the next jump in resolution the fps becomes just to slow

I have a 1ghz amd with 512 ram, and a geforce2 GTS, would i see much improvement in speed if i got a Geforce3?

and is it worh paying the extra for GeForce3 Titanium 500 rather than the GeForce3 Titanium 200?

thx

PS. does it matter what brand it is Elsa, Creative Labs, Hercules etc. i know its the same Nvidia chip in all of them, but is one better than other?

i have the Ti 500...and its awsome but mohaa is causeing probs for everyone...the multi demo works awsome on it! if u want speed dot get the Ti 200 get teh Gf 3 ti 500 or eve the gf 3 which is faster then the ti 200 they cost a shit load so be prepared...go to price watch though...i bout it at 290..the next day it was up to 315..so get it fast man! http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/smile.gif

I expect I will try the suggestion of just beefing up my current Voodoo3 with new drivers et al.

But if I do eventually buy a new video card like a G Force 3 Spewtainium Whatzithooy does it matter that I currently have Win98 but would want to ultimately get a faster computer (perhaps an Athlon) with Windows XP.

Will I be able to take the G F 3 card out of my PentIII Win98 and put it in an Athlon with XP?

has anyone heard of the Detonator drivers?
What nVidia cards do they work on?I have a 16MB TNT 2 M64PRO and I really do not feel like plunking down 275 bucks for the ti 500 if I don't have to........

i just installed my new visiontek xtasy geforce2 mx-400 64mb pci graphics card and i love it

I got an AGP http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/biggrin.gif


YEah my CPU is bogging it down, but I still love it.

Banshee 3d, very good

What ever you do dont get a TNT card hehe

go with the GeForce lineup
either get a cheaper GeForce 2 or spend some more money and buy GeForce 3. I would buy GF3 since it supports pixel shading and it will be much better suited for Doom3 and Unreal2 when they come out.

GF3 ti 50 is the best (i don't have it

I have a Gofrce2 MX400 64 MB VideoCard. And it runs GREAT ! The only down side is that you have to have over 128 RAM and really good CPU to run this card at its best. It was only $50 and you can get it at a lot of places. CircuitCity is one.

Also, you need to try and get WicketGL drivers for your videocard, they make it run 100 times better ! I believe the site is www.WicketGL.com if that doesnt work, then ask Bad Script for the site.
