Title: Graphics Card Question!!??
Post by: ThirtyAte on December 03, 2004, 11:54:11 PM
OK...  I have a 64MB GeForce4 MX440 AGP ti4200 Card right now.   About 70 FPS in MCM2 with Vsync off. 

I'm lookign for something smoother for MTX and CounterStrike tho.
I don't really knwo much about cards tho.

Is this one good??  I always hear peopel talk about it.  ATI Raedon 9800 128MB.

Know Of anything better for a reasonable price??  That ones $133 on pricewatch.com

If your on a budget,this site is reasonably priced.The GeForce FX 5700 LE 256 MB is a good card and will handle MTX,MCM,DOOM 3,CALL OF DUTY....etc
I bought my card and PC from them.

Well,if your not on a budget,my buddy runs this card,IMO,it's one of the best,if not the best out there.
Myself,I alwyas stick with Nvidia,but thats me,theres too many choices out there.

Nope, wouldn't recommend it.  I heard that it screws up MCM2.

I picked up the eVGA nVidia Geforce 6800 Ultra 8x 256mb.

I think it is the best card on the market right now. I've been an nVidia fan all thru my computer days and never ran into a problem.

I only bought this card so it would last me a few good solid years. Any game I play, I can do so at the max resolution, every detail maxed out.

I paid $500.00 for it, and got FarCry with it. Yes, a little steep in price, but it's so worth it.

Anyhow, just my 2 cents.
