Ideas on Best Graphics Card!@#!@@

[Pyroclazm]

Well im lookin to spend around 85-120...
it will be running with
t-bird 1333mhz
asus av7-133 mobo

this card will be strictly used for gaming purposes tv out is not needed but doesnt really matter...

Hmm, for that price range check out maybe:

Hercules 3D Prophet 4500 Kyro II w/no TV-out: 95.00
MSI Starforce 820 Geforce2 GTS: 110.00
ATI Radeon LE 32MB DDR: 71.00
Elsa Gladiac 511 Geforce2 MX400 64MB SDRAM: 95.00

These prices are all from newegg.com

I would suggest the MSI card because it has a Geforce2 GTS on it, either that or the Kyro II. Hope this helps.

Depending on what games you play, Kyro II or GTS is your best choices. Kyro II kicks serious a$$ in some games, yet it drops to MX200 levels in others. I suggest you reasearch the Kyro II based on what games you play.

Hmmmm, well GF2 GTS always performed very good, so it's tough to suggest KII over it, so I'd say the GTS.

Buy the Radeon LE for now and pocket the savings to put towards a better, future graphics board, as there is much new hardware on the horizon.

I haven't used a Kyro board, so I can't comment, but in terms of choosing between an nVidia product or the Radeon, it's a no-brainer unless you value fps (esp. in 16-bit) over image quality.
