Best 'future proof' card for $100...

[Fingolfin269]

A friend of mine has $100 to spend on a video card. I really have no idea what kind of cards are out in that price range that are worth a damn, so I decided I would come ask the collective brain trust.

Can anyone help me out here?

Well, my suggestion is to have them save a bit more and get a 9500 Pro. If they can't then a Ti4200 I guess.

Prob a Ti4200. Save up a bit more for a 9500pro if you can.

TI4200 for 100
5200 directx 9 for 75

for $100... probably the ti4200.

Abit Siluro 64mb ti4200 8x TV/DVI 88$ shipped@newegg I got mine@eXcaliber over the weekend for the same price shipped 3 day select special because I got a Abit T-shirt for 6.99 and a Abit case badge too. I couldn't see spending more for a card right now to upgrade from a ti200.

Another vote for a 4200.

Yep, the GF4 Ti4200 is the best deal for around $100 right now.

Thanks guys. I'm already trying to get him to go for the Radeon, but apparently he wants the card NOW and has no desire to save me more money. That's what I get for trying to give good advice I guess.

Thanks for the Newegg link I'll be sure to pass it along.
