videocard question

would it be a big diffrence when i buy a GeForce4 MX420 64MB?

(and what diffrence please)

THX

swordfight:

can i play with a higher resolution because i now play 600x640 and when i put it higher it doesnt run well


i have PIII 800 381ram and tnt2 32mb

or is my computer just to slow to play a higher resolution

Well FPS wise there is a big difference. My parent's computer has a TNT something 32MB card... maybe the same as yours and I get about 30 FPS max. On my computer I have a GF2MX400 64MB and I get around 80- 130 FPS all the time.

Don't know if this helps, but I have a PIII 450 512 mb ram. I put in a G Force 4 Ti4400(128mb ram) and turned my graphics way up. My resolution is 1024x768 and I get a very smooth game! I heard somewhere though that the default size of ram in MOHAA is set at 64 megs. The card i had before was a G Force 2 with 32 megs of ram. I did notice pretty big difference in performance.

Here's some advice (and please take it to heart...):

Don't buy the GF4 MX cards. They are totally worthless. Dish out the 140 for a Ti4200 or the 90 for a R8500, or if you're broke get a GF2 MX. Seriously. GF4 MX = crap. They are basically the same thing as the GF2 MX.

but the gf4 is cheaper then the gf2 because its in promtion


and yes i m broke, i just bought a 19 inh monitor

The fact that it's cheaper does not make it a quality product. If you buy something thats a waste of money for 30 bucks, does that make it a better deal then something that is worthwhile for 40 bucks?

If your answer is yes, go right ahead and buy that GF4 MX...might as well get the PCI version too! eatthis:

what should i do then? buy the gf2 32mb ram or the gf4 64mb ram

i still think 64mb is better then 32 but i dont know anything of cumputers you see.

I agree with garasaki. Anyone even remotely interested in gaming should not bother with the GF 4 mx. If you can't afford a radeon 8500 or GF3 200ti, then save your money up.

You can get a radeon8500 for $88 at newegg (the best online parts store).

Get a Geforce3 Ti 200 128DDR they are under $100. I have one and it's great.

Where did you get it on that prize because in belgium its still a very expensive videocard 295€ cry:


The radeon 8500 128mb 275€ and the radeon 8500 64mb is 195€

Check http://www.pricewatch.com they have alot of good deals.

its seems like its doesnt know the Euro sign :)


I think the site you gave me is only for the USA or not?


buy the way thx for all the replies, now i know the gf4 mx sucks

Buying this stuff outside of the us is tough...I dunno how to help you with that. I'd consider buying it and shipping it to you, but you'd have to pay me back with US dollars...

Pricewatch isn't gonna help this guy much...and newegg is the best! But they only ship to the US...

ahh yes that changes things. Sorry for my america-centric reply.

Worst case - find someone in the states that will buy it and re-ship it to you overseas.

I don't know of any reuptable european dealers. Good luck.

well damn sounds like your haven a ruff time before i got my Ti 4400 i had a geforce 2 mx 400 64mb or sum shit liek that and it ran fine and i only paid 80 for the geforce 2 and yes the geforce 4 mx's suck bad

How about the Ti 4400 was there a BIG improvement?

Re: videocard question
 

Absolutly. I'll be honest with you, you'de be better off with a GF3 Ti500, than a MX GF4, the Ti500 is better than the GF4 MX's.

it was a very big diffrence in the change of cards and the fps and graphics but if i was u id get the ti4200 for 200 cuz thats about what youd apy for a geforce3 ti500

yah yah, i was just wondering how much of a differnece thanks.

Yah i was thinking about a gf4 ti seris.

It was a lot of difrence my fps went from 45 or so to almost 130-160
and its a lot clearer and you cant see peple threw walls anymore

I'll also recommend the G4 TI series. I have the TI4600 and it works perfectly with always high FPS. If you can afford it, the 4600 is the way to go. If cost is a factor, try the 4200 or the 4400. All are great I hear. cool:

I went from a GF3 Ti500 to a GF4 Ti4600, and it boosted my FPS by about 11.

Ill buy anything that will boost my fps. I liek nvidia's reputation and ills tick with them! The only problem with the new drivers that are out (40.41) it seems they wont work with a geforce3? I think ill buy a GF4 and be happy with it.
