PNY 64MB GeForce2 TI: Is it Worth $40? OK for Games?

[Pretty Cool]

I am asking this because nobody replied to BiggieC's question in Hot Deals.

Card in question:
PNY 64MB GeForce2 TI AGP Video Card

1. Is this a good deal for the price?

2. Is this a good card for GTA and Warcraft 3?


Thanks

It'll handle current games at normal resolutions respectably well, and it should do decently in the future as long as you don't require high details at 1024x768x32bpp. It's certainly not a hugh end card, but for a cheapr budget board it should do nicely.
For $40 you certainly can't complain at all though, and it'll handle GTAIII no problem with max details at 1024x768x32bpp.

No idea about WarCraft 3 as I don't play it...

yeah good card for $40, go for it. Should play those
games fine at lower res. like Rand said.

That card should be able to handle to well actually, I played with a TNT2 on WC3 and it's not laggy or anything. The recommended requirements from Blizzard are a 32mb card, so you're all set to go!!!

The card definately worths that money. I say go for it.

If you only have $40 to spend then it's a good deal. If you can stretch to Rad8500LE ($91/91), Rad8500 ($109/91), GF3TI200 ($105/82) or GF4TI4200 ($142/136) each one is worth the extra cash and sports full DX8 hw functions as well as much better gaming ability, AA and '2D' IQ. First price quoted www.newegg.com , second www.pricewatch.com . SiS Xabre400 offers better perf and also offers some DX8 hw functions, has its quirks and is in its infancy, but a worthy budget contender.

It does depend a little on your CPU and general system config, what are you running at the mo?
