Nvidia or ATI
 

I'm thinking of buying a new video card, but I don't know if I should buy a Nvidia or an ATI product. My current GeForce 2 MX200 64MB isn't nearly enough for the lastest games. Based on your computer experience what should I pick ?? Cost: 200-300 dollars. TXH :)

As much as I like Nvidia I would go with an ATI. Sharper image and faster AA performance. But it depends on what cards your thinkinh of getting.

i would say ati and what currency is that in?

Go the ATI! Nvidia has been dethrowned...

USD :)

Go for a ATI 9800 and do a "software upgrade" to make it
compareable to the 9800 PRO version

most "bang for the bucks" !

I don't think I can get a Radeon 9800 coz it costs a bit too much for my pocket :(

Whats your limit..?

- take a look at this site, lots of tests (and prices)

It would be best if I stay below 250 USD.
THX for the link :)

suggestion
 

This is my suggestion:

Connect3D Radeon 9800SE 128 MB All-In-Wonder
- TV in and out
It can most litely be modified to perfom identical to the 9800PRO AIW

I think you can get one for less than USD 250 (if you'r lucky)

I'll check that site at once.

Re: suggestion
 

yeah that is a go suggestion. From what I hear/read they're almost guranteed to be able to be modded to 9800pro aiw

how do u mod a video card

hmm..

ATI for best quality image.

Nvidia - they have cheat driver to give more frame rate so it sucks..

go to ATI

and mod video card is dangeros..

meh i dont' remember but i think it was flashing the bios of the vid card, it changes to clock speed. Also it was some program that enables it to run with 128-bit memory bus.
