Hey Everyone,
Now let me tell you the situation. I am building a new comp. I am shooting for somewhat of a decent video card. I was debating on the TI4200 and then overclocking it, but I don't know if I want to spend $150 for a decent one of these. I am a graphic desginer and a web developer. I work off of a 19 inch Flat Screen Trinitron. So basically I don't play much gaming if at all. So I am looking for something that will mainly do the job for design and not so much for gaming. Although I would like to have the option to play at a decent view if I ever choose too.
What is a Good card in the $100 Range????Anyone have any suggestioins. I see lots of 64mb and a few random low end 128 MB cards. HELP ME OUT !!! 4X, 8X, 64mb, 128mb????
Also let me know of any other GOOD cards in the anywhere under $120 bucks.
Thank You to all who read and reply

If you don't do much gaming at all, get a Matrox G450/G550 card. They have absolutely ridiculous 2D quality compared to the ATI/nVidia offerings, and the G550 supports dual-DVI output.

Anyone else have any suggestions for a video card?
I want to make a purchase soon. Let me know what everyone feels about the TI4200
Thanks

Great card, but overkill if you're "not much of a gamer" as you said in your first post. Take a lower-end nVidia/ATI card if you want gaming potential (gF4MX or Radeon 7XXX series perhaps)
