need a video card for $160

[greyhavns]

What is the best card. system includes P4 2.4BGhz, 512 DDR2700. What is best card for this system including shipping?

I think you'll have to grapple with the nvidia vs ati for yourself. I've owned both and I recognize some of the benefits of a late model Radeon card, but if I was spending that at this moment I'd consider an Asus gf 4 ti series, especially if you want an oem copy of Morrowmind, heh.

I'll say the same thing I always say: check out e-bay. I was able to get a ti4400 about a month ago, new, sealed.

yes, just what i was thinking

i'm thinkin bout that Asus 4200-8x 64MB card. found it for about 121.99. Good deal yeh?

um 160, either a ti4400, or a 9500 pro, no im not a fanboy, but those were the only cards that pricewatch.com had in that range.

i will keep my eyes open for the fanATIcs

BTW the asus geforce4 is a great card, i know, i own one. Its game package is worth at least 50 bucks by itself. If i had not bought it i would never have tried morrowind (in my top 10 favorite games now). directx 9 games are so far in the future that nv40 will probably be out before most games begin using it.

I'll play Devil's Advocate.

Get a Radeon 9500 Pro.

Or a gF4 Ti4200 ... they're on sale somewhere for sub-$100.

turn your PM on greyhavns! I want to send you a message

I'd be the first one to say "Get a Radeon 9500 Pro" if you could actually get one for $160, but you can't, so the best card in that price range is the 128mb GeForce4 Ti4200.

 

[greyhavns]

i've been unable to find a radeon 9500 pro for under 160. Any suggestions as to where i could find such a price?

you tried lookin in the FS/FT forum right here on AT?

just make a thread 'wtb: radeon 9500(pro)' or something, someone can prolly help ya out! happy hunting!
