I brought a geoforce 4 mx440 128MB (DDR) for �50, i'm very pleased with the price and the card it self Smile

I can bet some people will recommend a geoforce 4ti4600 or 4800, or radeon 9700 or 9800 pro Wink

, but i don't see who will pay out �200 for a graphics card Very Happy

I'm running a radeon 8500 from ATI (128 MB). It's great. Net code for ren is slow compared to BF1942 tho. Laughing

I'm running an ATI 9700 pro here and works really good, i've had bad experiences with nvidia cards in the past so i don't use them anymore.

I bought a PNY Verto NVIDIA GeForce FX card, but it keep overheating. So I returned it and got an ATI RADEON 9200 instead. The driver installation was so much easier with ATI than with NVIDIA. The ATI card automatically disabled my onboard video adapter. With the NVIDIA card, I had to disable it manually. I also did not have to reboot my computer with the ATI card. I did have to reboot twice with the NVIDIA. I haven't have any problems with my ATI card.

i have 2 ati's now, ATI AIW for VIVO stuff, and a 9500 Pro that i just got for gaming, i wouldnt recomment NVIDIA anymore, bad experiences, ATI cards are overall better, you can up quality settings and barely notice performance decrease, and they support much higher resoloutions, i have a sapphire and i like it a lot, works fine without overclocking. if u want budget get a 9500 Pro(make sure it is pro not regular) if u want best quality get 9800/Pro and if you need VIVO stuff, i recommend just going with a PCI expansion card

I dont think so, just be sure to have enough power in your power supply or maybe a little bit more RAm wouldnt hurt

Yes I would say that the Radeon 9800 PRO would do the trick. Very Happy

Just to let you know the Geforce FX 5900 is coming out soon (I hope) and it will crush the Radeon 9800. So you might want to hold out for that vid card. Just a thought.

Goodbye and thanks for all the games Westwood!

I have the Radeon 8500LE great card works well with my LCD monitor, although my system crashed unexpectedly last week and it was the video driver, i upgraded it since and it appears to be fine.
