I need to upgrade my video card but I dont know which one to get. Heres the problem. In less than four months Ill be building another computer. Im going to spend a pretty good amount of money then, so I dont want to spend alot on this card. So what is the best card out there under $200. Any feed back will be appreciated. Im currently looking at an ATI powercolor 9500 128meg. but I was wondering if the geforce might be better. Im losing my mind. Damn............ too late.:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :beer: :P


BTW:comp specs are
Amd 1800+ , ATI radeon 7500 , 1024meg DDR pc2100, Sound Blaster Audigy 2
Thanks in advance.

I have found that the nVidia Ti4200 128mb a good card if you are looking for bang for your $.. ($139-$149). You may also want to wait it out a couple of months until nVidia comes out with its FX line, possibly making the Ti4600 series under or just above the $200 mark.

The next fun question you will be asking yourself if you decide upon the nVidia series is the manufacturer.. those like the MSI, Verto, Xtasy, Asus....bla, bla. bla.. I have personlly seen the MSI perfom quite well and does hold up under overclocking conditions..

but that would be my opinion.. .I know others have theirs..

Dude,

I just got an nVidia 4200 128 mg and it rocks. Colors are great, shadows etc, just awesome. I got the MSI version due to advice from another player.

Listen to Meatshield, he knows his shit.

Both good cards using a great (and proven) chipset. I know that MSI has a great reputation for their G4Ti cards. MmmGood is running that MSI 4200 and is overclocking is with no problems. You might want to ask him.
