I currently have a PIII 733mhz, 192MB pc133 RAM, matrox g400 16MB singlehead, ASUS P3V4X computer running win2k. I also have 2 monitors, one being 20" and able to go to 1280*960, and the other being 15" and able to go to 1024*768. I need a video card that a) has dualhead AND TV-out (not at the same time however. the radeon ve with its adapter would be fine, for example), b) can crank out lots of fps in current games (the ones i am currently playing are counter-strike, and black & white. And I will be playing Max Payne when it is released. anything that can provide fps over 30fps in these games will be satisfactory), and c) have satisfactory 2d quality. I will most likely be running my res no higher then 1152*864, and do not expect crystal quality at anything above that. However, I do not want to have to squint when trying to read letters and having to wear glasses 10 years down the line. My current favourite choice is the leadtek winfast geforce2mx dh pro. This card has dual head and tv-out. It will provide me with ample frame rates, and has dualhead and tv-out capabilities. the only thing i am worried about is the image quality at 2d, and the poor dualhead drivers. The radeon ve is also an option, but i am afraid of its poor win2k drivers and its all-around subpar performance when compared to the geforce2mx. However, i do highly appreciate its low cost, good hydravision drivers, and having an adapter that you screw into the tv-out port and are able to have dual monitors as well. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
oh, and can someone help me out with a more specific problem? with my current matroxg400 16mb on win2k, the 2 games that i currently play have similar malfunctions. In counter-strike, the textures in the game sometimes change, and leave instead a "green static" (i cant really describe it better, sorry). In black and white, the textures dont disappear, but instead they seem to switch around. For example, the textures for the head of my ape and the body of my ape seem to swap, or even swap with completely different textures, such as the textures for the zebra. Any help with this will be greatly appreciated. Thank you again
