Which Graphics card of these 2? I'm stuck!

[Bananadude]

I'm in two minds as to which of these cards I should go for;

1.) 64Mb Asus V8170 Magic II GeForce 4 DDR Mx440 with TV Out or;
2.) 64Mb GigaByte ATI Radeon 9000 Retail TV Out

They are both pretty much the same price at the place i'm looking at getting it from (and at the limit of my budget) so it's down to performance really. All advice welcome. Thanks...

radeon all the way no contest

I agree no contest at all.. 9000 for sure.

Between those 2, the Radeon 9k. The MX is merely a Geforce 2 Ultra with some extra capabilities.

If the 9000 is not a PRO it will be slower than the GF4MX440 but the GF4MX cards don't do DX8 so I'd still go with the Radeon. Do strongly consider the Rad9000PRO or better still Rad8500LE or 4200 as all 3 are MUCH better than both the Rad9000 and GF4MX440.

Good point!
