[ksherman]

what should i buy (vid card). i saw this and was woundering if this card i any good. im mostly into the radeon 8500. or is the gForce 3 better?

 

[m1ke101]

the g4 4200 should be coming out soon, and it would retail at 200, so if you can wait you should get that.

I wonder when the new nVidia series will be coming out. I have a GF3, and I was thinking about skipping this product cycle to go with the next one.

It won't be called the GF5, at least we know that. Is this the one that the 3dfx team has been working on?

The card in the link looks like a 128 mb R8500 le. It is probably clocked at 250 mhz.

The made-by-ATI 64 mb R8500 Retail would be faster with its 275 mhz clocking and
cost less at about U$ 160.

The 128 mb vs. 64 mb has been discussed and tested at length. 128 mb cards offer
little or no (mostly no) advantage in current games and applications. Maybe in a year
or two?
