Best video card

[Ephect]

Just wondering what kinda video card I should buy, I heard GeForce 3, but is there anything better out right now?

GeForce 3 Ultra is out or should be out soon. Rumor had it that it was going to be released the Monday that just passed but I havent heard about anyone who had one.

what's the price tag on that?

I wish we had a lot of games to showcase the GE3 strength....argh.

I'd be more concerned about the new price tag of the GF3. I think you can buy a GF3 right after the release of a GF3 Ultra and a GF3 Ultra right after the release of the GF4 for less money than the GF3 Ultra would cost you on debut. So, if there are no games or applications you are likely to run that will not yield any perceivable difference in that span, it is more economical to go the aforementioned route.

But, heck, I want the biggest baddest video card money can afford; even though it's been about a year since a 3D game was run on my system.

In a word, no.

well it depends... if you don't care about image quality at all (2D and DVD especially), sure GeForce3 is the best video card on the market right now... but if you think image quality is worth a few fps less, then take a look at the Radeon's... or better yet, wait like a month and get a Radeon 8500... with that card, you'll get GF3-performance, but with Radeon-image quality...
