What's **THE** video card to have?
« on: February 20, 2002, 12:19:24 PM »
New GeForce 4?

Friend is offering a great price on an Athlon system, just pondering what card to use.

Also wondering.... stay with Win2k or go XP Pro?

Thanks

RIGHT NOW, it has to be the Radeon 8500 or the Geforce 3 Ti500.

As of March 7, it will be the Geforce 4 Ti4600 and I suggest you wait for that (up to 3 times faster than the current fastest)

i've been waiting since January.  another week or so isn't gonna bother me.  :)

tho I'd like an nforce 415D mb...  so might be waiting more than just a week.  depends on msi and asus.  ;)

for those of you who may be **poor** I just grabbed the geforce3 ti200 (64mb ddr) for 132 dollars.   Not worried about being behind the curve since my current viper 770 ultra is nearing 5 years old. (still gets me 50 fps and 75 when I look up in the pit).
