Help me replace my GF3Ti200

[Gillbot]

Well, the fan on my GF3Ti200 is dying and MOST of the VGA coolers are too big for my sff case or too much $ so I guess it's time to replace the card!

I'm looking for something equal but LOW cost. What would be a good replacement!

 

[MDE]

Radeon 9600 (NOT an SE, EZ, or 256MB model)

 

[Waylay00]

Geforce 6600GT

how low cost? under 100? under 50?

please people he wants a lateral transf. he dosnet want an increase in features or speed. a fx5200/9200 would suit him

 

[Gillbot]

I'd prefer sub $50 and I'm contemplating just looking for a used GF3Ti200 if they can be had even cheaper. I don't play any 3d games and the pc has been reduced to an email/video out machine so 3d power isn't really needed.

used 4200

 

[blckgrffn]

agree with Nick

 

[Gillbot]

what's the ballpark price on those?

 

[mwmorph]

actually, for windows only, a good olde geforce4 mx can be had VERY cheap.

$36 dual monitor support.
then add in a pci card for tv out.
the ti4200s are about double the mx440se. you wont see a difference in windows.(about $65 used.the mx is new)

 

[nick1985]

take your pick

usually they go for less than $50

 

[blckgrffn]

you don't even have to go to ebay, I found a couple on the FS/FT forums right here, you just might have to look and wait for awhile. The difference between the MX and the 4200 is huge, you might as well find a nice GF2 GTS for $20, it will out perform most MX's in my experience.

I concur.

My 6600GT should arrive today so that means I will be selling my 9200se (8x AGP 128mb). Nothing special at all but i can play cs:s and stuff on it, and its dirt cheap. Let me know if your interested.

 

[Gillbot]

prices?

 

[kurt454]

Got a Gainward Geforce3 Ti 450 Golden Sample I will sell for $35.

 

[MisterChief]

I'll be selling my old 9200SE 128MB for $30. I'll have my heatware up soon.

How would this:

or

This: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDe...scription=14-150-041R&type=Refurbished

compare to what I have now?

 

[kurt454]

I would probably go with the second one.

 

[CraigRT]

hell.. no 3d, i wouldn't even waste my money on a Ti4200.. if it was literally not going to see any 3d, I'd get a Radeon 7000 or something with (arguably) better 2d quality.

A Radeon 7k as well would also be even cheaper.

 

[blckgrffn]

I would personally go with the 5200, but I would check the for sale for trade forums here to see what you can get for $45 - you might be pretty surprised...plus, there is at least one brand new 9200se at new egg for $36, and I am actually using it right now in a clients machine as I type this Needed cheap DVI out and this fit the bill nicely.

The most 3d I see is an occasional game of the original Unreal Tournament.

 

[Gillbot]

no other suggestions?

I still have a Diamond Viper II with S3 savage 2000 chipset and no fan with a Duron 900.

It get 60 to 70 fps in Unreal Tournament and has good 2D also.

You can use the special textures from the second CD also.
