GeForce 4 MXs are crappy cards. They can't play Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow.

Neither can I play Deus Ex 2.....which I want to really bad. It plays Battlefield Vietnam, Far Cry, and Unreal Tournament 2004 pretty darn good. Joints ops and Soldner also play great. Darn pixel shaders! ARGH. Need my Deus Ex fix haha.

hmm.. I sold my Rad 9600 Pro 128mb to Rad 9800 Pro 128Mb
I dont see much different thought..
[PS: I didnt remember i have account as Retro (I'm SirRetro)]
|
You should see quite a big difference - the 9600 Pro is a pretty good card (in most cases better than GFFX 5700U, in DX9 games like Half-Life 2, beats a 5900 Ultra at times), but the 9800 Pro beats the 9600 Pro in every game - it's simply a higher-end card...

Thanks all! 
Everyone is telling me to buy a ATI 9800. But, I have a Nvidia, so wouldnt that conflict with everything? Ahhh im so computer dumb!
|
If you can get an ATI Radeon 9800 or 9800 Pro, that's definitely the best card you can get for the money.
For $200, you can get a 9800 Pro 128MB - which will beat any GeForce FX in most games and slaughters them in DX9 games like Half-Life 2, etc.
For $100, you could go for a 9600 Pro 128MB, but if you can get the 9800, go for it.
As far as a conflict with your current nVidia, yes, sometimes there are issues switching from nVidia to ATI and vice versa - some of it is deliberately caused so as to cause the user trouble when being "unloyal"  Use a driver cleaner, though, and you should be fine - such as the one at DriverHeaven.net.

I have a GF4-Ti4200 and I'm able to play both Deus Ex 2 and Far Cry, though if I adjust settings on FC any higher than med I start to get a little lag. Deus Ex is one of my all time favorite single player games but DE2 was a bit of a disapointment.

The only cards that you can buy currently that require an external power adapter are the GFfx 5900 series (all of them), and the Radeon 9800 Pro and XT, but not the SE.
The GF 6800 series requires 2.

Don't forget that the GF4 Ti series are DirectX 8 compliant cards, whereas the GF4 MX series are DirectX 7 compliant cards. Big difference.
