Good Graphics for under $95 bucks

[Redemmer]

I just built a new comp, (costs me a lot) and I only have less than 110 dollars left for my video card. I hoping of finding something that is pretty fast and has T&L enabled. Any suggestions?😕

ATi Radeon LE.

Ok, you did your research and built the fastest machine you could afford, but are you willing to handicap it with a slow video card?

I would recommend the Leadtek 32mb GeForce2 GTS Pro for $118.00 shipped to you door. I ordered one this morning and can't wait to get it. 32mbs of 5ns DDR Ram, 200/400 chip/core and it's own overclocking/tweaking utility. Should be 20% faster than the old GTS boards and only 8 bucks beyond your budget.

Lots of bang for your buck. My 0.02

DUH, how about I provide the link:



Geforce2 GTS Pro at Newegg

kyro2 if you got enough mhz power.

Don't go with radeon le because you will be dissapointed on some games because I did even though the graphics were amazing. Go with Radeon 64meg or 64meg GTS pro. Those are your best bet. Add couple of dollars to that $110 so you won't be dissapointed.

Yeah that is a pretty good deal, but considering the fact that the new Geforce 3 fighters will come out in 4-6 days, Geforce 3 MX, PRO, Ultra, all DDR, I'm not so sure if the GTS is really a good deal considering the fact that GF3 MX is coming out real soon, with 175 Core, 200 DDR,/400MHz total.....That totally beats the GTS.

How do you know? No one knows if it will have 2 or 4 pipelines. I seriously doubt they will give it 4 pipelines, because then who's going to buy all the Geforce 2 products? If thats part of the plan to phase out the Geforce 2 for the Geforce 3 MX, then I expect it will cost at least $150-$200.

Compgeeks has the Visiontek Geforce 2 GTS 32mb DDR for $89 and if you use a mastercard it will bring it down to about $80 🙂

I'm pretty sure the gf3 MX will be priced around $200 just like ATI 7500.

For your asking price go get a used Radeon 64meg vivo. When I saw radeon for the first time I was amazed by the graphic quality that it possesed. It made my jaws drop compared to a GTS or voodoo 5 but gave me problems on some games because I only had 32meg board.

just ordered one awesome card from what i hear

Perhaps your right about the Geforce 3 MX prices. Since all Geforce 3 are supposed to be 64mb so the MX GF3 is really a budget card anymore.


Hmm...now I have two choices. Geforce 2 GTS(32mb) or wait for Radeon 7500(probably saved enough money for that when it comes out.)😎
