I recently invested in a GeForce3 Ti200 upgrade for my PC (P3-800, plenty of RAM, etc.)

My gaming needs are fairly modest/infrequent. Right now, Counter-Strike and maybe Falcon 4.0 are the main staples.

The GeForce2 MX was quite adequate at 1024x768, which is probably the ideal gaming resolution for a 19" monitor. It played pretty smoothly getting through Max Payne.

I'm not building any systems soon, so I'm going to sell one of the two cards. Considering my system is last year's rig, and that I'm not a hard-core gamer, the MX card is enough for at least another year.

Based on the street prices I can get for selling each card used, and with my hardware and gaming needs, which card would you sell off? Both cards have infamous nVidia TV-Out so feature-wise they really are about the same except for 3D performance.

sell the MX and go for the GF3, cause you might want it for future needs you know even though your not a Hardcore gamer.

Hmm, from the sounds of it the MX seems fast enough for you and you sound as if your not seeing much of a performance boost with the GF3. If that's true then personally I'd sell of the GF3 and get what money you can for it while it's still a fairly high end card and buy a better card when you actually need more performance then the MX will offer you.
\When that time comes you'll likly be able to get a significantly better card then the GF3 Ti200 for the money you'll get from the proceeds of the GF3 sale.
