Getting a new vid card -

**Getting a new vid card - -** 10-19-2002, 12:07 PM

Well, this CANT be avoided any longer, I'm sick of there drivers for this damn card locking up the system, so I'm off to do a little "funny bizness" - and get me a top line video card.

Any recommendations before I leave in an hour?

Radeon 9700, can't get any more top of the line than that.

The ATI 9700 is the best out there, but the price is horrific, myself, I bought a Geforce 4 Ti4200 128 meg, the card is awesome for the games I have, and not very expensive either.

Well they have had a few months to improve on the 9700. Its not as if nvidia are gonna be stupid enough to release a slower card now is it?

As for outdoing at "once again" nvidia will be outdone yet agaiin with the higher clock speed r-350 which will be around a november release.

Well I'm still here -

I've been looking online, and I want to get an nVidia card, but there drivers are killing me, and ATI supposedly have more features. I'm looking for a 300 and under card, preferably 128meg DDR
