I am a moron
Actually, I have a question about graphics cards. I am running with an AMD 1.5 gig, 256 MB PC2100, Geforce 2 on windows XP. I am going to buy another 256 MB of memory, but also want to update my graphics card. I don't want to spend an arm and a leg, but would like something with a bit more bite. Any recommendations?
|
a GF3 its better than what u got but not sure on the prices
|
Get either the GeForce 4 Ti4200 or Ti4600. Prices range from $200(Ti4200) - $300(Ti4600).
|
The GF4 MX420 is good and cheap :)
but yeah the GF4 TI4600 is a good one |
Thanks for the ideas guys. I was thinking a GF 4, but wasn't sure which one. Do you think I will see a real difference in the upgrade? I would hate to shell out a lot and not see some results.
|
Never EVER EVER EVER fucking go with an MX... I will KILL YOU if you do so:
instead, go for a regular GF3 or GF4 man. ATi's are okay but the drivers are always SUX0R4G3... |
Just in your shoes man -
Go for the 4200 or the 4600. Anything else will be SUPER FUCKING OBSOLETE AND POINTLESS. GeForce3 is on it's way out to pasture, and you can get the GeForce4 for a very reasonable price. As SOLIDUS said, MX is shit, and I wish I knew that before I shelled out my hard earned cash for it a year ago, but oh well it worked. Anywho, get the 4200 or 4600, you can get them as low as 212 off of pricewatch for a 4600, and 175 for a 4200. You WILL see a graphically improvement. Definately. Especially if you're playing games like MOH and BATTLEFIELD. The damn things are fast and big. Only thins is, make sure you do a BIOS FLASH or you may run into some problems with the GeForce/MB/and XP. Fuckers. |
What's a BIOS flash? how do i enable it?
|
It's not something you enable; rather, it's something you DO.
Flashing the BIOS (basic input-output system) means getting special software from your card's maker, erasing the EEPROM and replacing it with another, more compatible one. At least, that's what I remember the process to be biggrin: |
i c, btw, u guys think the "Tweak" utilities for the Geforce cards actually work?
|
Thanks for all the advice gents. I am gonna shoot for the 4200, sounds like good stuff. It was Bf1942 that showed me how weak my system is now. I am looking forward to playing it without a lot of fps issues.
|
whats the best i can git for $100 american money?
|
Two 50 dollar bills.
