[The Green Bean]

ehich one is better???....Also i have herd that Geforce has stopped supporting 4x AGP which my motherboard uses?

So which one should i get the Geforce is a bit cheaper

o and heres my PC

XP pro
40 GB harddisk

get Radeon 9200; it's better than the MX
also 9200 supports DX8.1 while the stupid MX supports only DX7

 

[dguy6789]

9200 is an 8X 9000 non pro, which is slightly slower then an mx460, but a good deal faster then an mx440, the 9200 also has dx 8.1 support, which means it will be faster in games of the future, such as halo for pc, and dx8 games now, and half life 2 will use all those cool dx8 features, which non of the mx series has.

I jus tried simcity4 on the radeon 9200 the scrolling SUX....IT works better on the bilt in viseo (intel)....DO u think it will work better if i uninstall and reinstall???

Also will the 9200 work games like cnc generals ETC?

thanx hatim

also is SDram better or DDram better? The radeon has DDram...

 

[dragonic]

DDR is much faster and better than SDR

Hmm that scrolling thing might be a driver bug; try the newest Catalyst and see if it helps
and yes 9200 will work with C&C Generals; even my old GF2MX/MX worked with C&C Generals

memory busses might also play a role in this.

[dguy6789]

hehe thats why its slow you didnt donwload the dirvers lol, goto ati.com and download the latest ones.

 

[The Green Bean]

Also, My mohterboard supports only 4X not 8X.... Will that make a lot of differnce.....

I also have another choice radeon 9000pro but only 64MB memory....

So u think i shud stick with the radeon 9200

 

[The Green Bean]

I dont have the latest drivers or DX9....Ill install both and see if i get that scrolling problem.....otherwise ill got with the MX which seems to be running smoothly with generals.....

But i think u donot get 4X agp support now from geforce4?

thax for all the hellp

Well of course it's running faster - it has drivers.

Go get the Cat 3.6's and DX9 and report back.

a 9000 pro is miles faster then a 9200 or 9000 standard. If you can get one for the same price go for it, 64Mb 9000 pro would flatten a 128MB 9000. But i got best of obth worlds 128MB 9000 pro!

 

[The Green Bean]

so the 9000 pro is better than a 9200 even if its only 64MB and the 9200 is 128MB?

Also can anyone explain to me this AGP thing?

 

[The Green Bean]

im gettin a 9000pro 64MB for approc 120$
and a 9200 128MB for approx 130$

 

[The Green Bean]

And i only want the card for games!

:Qthats a rip off!

Where do you live?
If you live in the US do not get these cards for the price you just listed....
Go here instead to get good prices and a fast service

 

[The Green Bean]

I live in Pakistan... LOL
So which should i get?
