Which card should I choose outta this lot??

mr.miyagi · **Which card should I choose outta this lot?? -** 07-13-2003, 10:55 AM

I know these are low-end grpahics card options but right now I'm low on the Dough so these are my choices...DECISION TIME

In any case i'm getting the cheapest one here but all I'd like to know, if anyone can help, is whether there is much difference between them.
Eg- 128mb to 64mb or the 440 'SE'???????

Should I fork out the lil bit extra? are Radeons any good? will it be worth it??
Here are my only options:

GeForce FX5200 128MB DDR AGP RP DVI - £54

Radeon 9200 128MB DDR AGP RP VO - £54

GeForce 4 MX440-8x 128MB DDR AGP - £42

GeForce 4 MX440-8x 64MB DDR AGP RP VO - £36.50

GF4 MX440SE 64MB AGP RP VO - £30

GeForce 4 MX440SE 64MB DDR AGP RP VO - £26

If anyone can help me choose it'd be frikkin class, will be buying one of these in the next few days....HELP ME DECIDE!!!!

Hola,
Are the g4 4200's out of your price range or not? If so I'd go with the 5200fx (im a nvidia guy) Cant give you advice on ther radeon, never had one. Let us know what ya get.

Get a Radeon 9500 PRO biggrin:, if you cant afford that go with the FX, but the 9500 pro isnt that expensive anymore since the 9700 pro is out and the 9800.

get Radeon 9200 or higher Radeon kicks biggrin:

Well I forked out the extra pounds for a Geforce FX5200, might as well

Will this run BF1942 ok-ish????? anyone got this card?

Bullitt · 07-13-2003, 06:01 PM

that would be able to run it, it runs fine for me and i have a geforce 4 mx440 64Mb

Too bad, you got fucked in the ass. All FX series besides the 5900 are pure shit and have lots of problems.

lol you fuckin bullshitter, don't you worry, i've checked up on the card and its a popular and very decent card for its price range.

STFU

the MX's generally have all the problems, even if I did have a prob I'd have my way and get it replaced, fixed, patched or refunded, so do really STFU.

Zap. USMC · 07-14-2003, 10:45 PM

Stay away from the MX series, they are shit.

The FX series is shit as well... so you have been fucked up the ass, hardcore; without any loob.

happy:

Cool Fool · 07-14-2003, 11:14 PM

Will this 5200 FX fit into your comp? Or did you get one of the smaller verisons of the 5200?

snipeymagoo · 07-14-2003, 11:19 PM

GeForce 4 MX440-8x 64MB DDR AGP RP VO - £36.50

i have that one, it is great some times, but other times it isnt so good....lol....it decides when it wants to give you good fps, but i like it, over clock the hell outta it
