Graphics card ?

Hi Everyone I was wondering if someone could give me some advice regarding graphic cards. I want to upgrade but I am unsure what to go for. Do I go for Gee Force 2 (32mb) (anyone know cheapest place to get one)or the voodoo 5 which seems to be going ridiculously cheap at the moment. i know the voodoo is being discontinued but i am unsure how this will effect me in the future. The games I need it for most are GPL and WSC when it arrives. Hope someone can help. Kev Barnes

I would go for the GeForce2 MX, the Hercules ProphetII MX is a great card, and it will run GPL beautifully using the d3d patch. By the time WSC arrives, your probably going to want a 64 mb card, so if you can afford it consider the 64 mb GeForce2. -- Don Burnette Dburn in N3 and Legends ICQ# 74084566 "Kevin Barnes" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:w3Ga6.7202$[email hidden]... > Hi Everyone > I was wondering if someone could give me some advice regarding graphic > cards.

The GTS card is down to $180 :) Don Burnette <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:LfGa6.179500$[email hidden]... > can afford it consider the 64 mb GeForce2.

In GPL there was no contest (on a Cel600 @900), with the V3 having consistently better fps at the same res as the MX and looked better IMHO. Interestingly in NSF5 at 1024x748 the V3 averaged around 40fps (using FRAPS) while the MX could only manage around 26. Naturally I've returned the MX and am looking for a V5 before they disappear. Hope this helps . Phillip...

Well, I traded in my V5 for a Geforece2 Ultra and the difference is amazing on GPL and F1CS. On GPL I can run at 1600x1200 at the maximum 37-38 frame rate with no problem at all. Iain "Phillip Archer" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:94g3jn$78m$[email hidden]...

I made this mistake yesterday. It makes the AGP V3 look like an even better card than I knew it was already :-> Andrew McPCIsux
