Light Gamer Video Card?

[Shilly]

Hey I'm looking for a VC that should be good for some light gaming and stuff. Right now i've got this 4MB card that has been recycled and wouldn't mind getting rid of the lag it carries with it.

I don't really want to spend more than $65, I think I should be able to get a good enough card for this price, 64 MB. A friend told me to go with a GeForce 4 MX URL=http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDe ... ode=321846]like this one[/URL] because he said it was a good deal for the money with its 5.3 GB/sec bandwidth.

I've got an AGP 4X slot and a VIA KT266A chipset. Let me know what you think, thanks!

lol, nicely put. What's the difference between Ti, MX, FX? and the diff between radeon & geforce...which do you like more?

thx for the links

Ti - titanium series
MX - utter crap
FX - most of its crap, but the 5900 ULTRA FX is spiffy... very pricy tho.. but no one recommends it


Ti 4200 is your best bet.. GeForce 4 ti 4200... 128 meg version..

If you want something better.. a wee bit more expensive

buy a radeon 9600 Pro.. if your going for high end gaming .. get any Radeon 9700 Pro or 9800 Pro

in preformance wise it goes (and price)

Radeon 9800 Pro
GeForce FX 5900 Ultra
Radeon 9600 Pro
GeForce FX 5600 Ultra
GeForce 4 ti 4600
GeForce 4 ti 4200
Radeon 9200 Pro
GeForce FX 5200 Ultra
Geforce 4 MX crap

and other crap


TI 4200 is your best bet
