What video card provides good AA+AF under $200?

[Jeff7181]

Just wondering what the best video card under $200 would be that would allow me to run 4X AA and 4X AF without hurting performance too much. I play SoF2, BF1942, TES3: Morrowind, Half Life, Ghost Recon and would like at least 60 FPS.

9500 Pro and is under 200 easily,

 

[Rogozhin]

radeon 9500 or radeon 9700 non pro if you can find it for $199.

Well I tried to do this on my Albatron ti4200p 128MB (non-turbo) with default clock/memory. It's not giving me a consistant 60+ @ 1280x1024 with all options enabled in RTCW. It goes up to 90 and down to 40 sometimes. At 40fps its not fluent. I'll try some overclocking and see what numbers I get. Maybe compare with the Checkpoint demo.

I assume you plan on running@1280 with all game options on high? If so, then its definitly not the ti4200 for you.

unfortunately, the Geforce4 series gets absolutely hammered with AF on ... otherwise i would have got one too.

Definitely a 9500PRO or 9700NP

I agree the best choice is 9500PRO/9700np

I'd go with the 9700 non pro for a fe more bucks because of performance increase which is due to twice the bandwidth of the 9500 Pro.
