i need a card with dvi for my 19" planar lcd. will only be playing counterstrike otherwise only web browsing and office stuff.
 
Well cheapest would be certain flavors of Radeon VE aka 7000. Aim higher in the Radeon series as your need for 3D speed requires.
 
Also v.crap.

not really I have one in my office/ web machine machine at the moment, 2D output even via a KVM is good, its very cheap (£25) and will play directx7 games at 1024*768 such as counter strike without a problem. Mine runs 300core / 400 memory and scores equivalent to a gts 2 ultra. For the price I dont think it can be beaten, but go ahead proove me wrong 😛

Im thinking along the lines of it not being as future proof as some other cards, such as the Radeon9000.
He says he`ll only be playing CS, but he`ll probably be playing some other game/s in the future, and a DX8 compatible card will save him from upgrading again.
 
I used a gf2 mx with DVI got it free with my gateway LCD that was DVI only and it was a $25 card great 2d so-so 3d

He`ll have a job doing so. ATI are starting to phase out their "Built By ATI" cards.
And theres nout wrong with 3rd party companies. I have a Sapphire 9700pro, and its just as good as any "Built By ATI" card.
 
Right. Nothing wrong with ATi partners' cards. Particularly not when you're running them on DVI anyway - then even the most carelessness board designers can hardly screw up the signal quality 😉
