Radeon 7000 vs GF2MX400

[InverseOfNeo]

I have the radeon 7000. Spent 80 bucks on it but I can pricematch it to get about 15 back. But since my computer has rca audio outputs, I think I want something that has an rca video output. I found a Gainward GF2MX400 with 64MB RAM and rca and s-video outputs. It would be about $7 more than what the Radeon would be for me. I am not sure how often I would use the RCA outputs so which one do you guys think would be better for me?

if u plan on gaming most of the time, get the gf. the radeon 7000 is not too hot in games. the rca output is useful if u wanna like output ur dvd to a tv or something.

Good for 2D, work, some more work, and finally tv-out presentations.

Radeon 7000 = Radeon VE.

Top notch TV-Out quality, excellent 2D visual quality, top notch DVD playback capabilities, and a solid and robust Dual-Monitor implementation (Should you get the multi-monitor version of R7000)

I'd stick with the 7000 for the image quality. I've heard many complaints about it on the 400.

Don't get the Radeon 7000/VE if you plan on playing any 3D games because it blows in that respect. It's only good if you need a cheap dual-display card with TV-out.
