Decent video card

[Mage]

I want a video card secondhand that is semidecent, cuz mine is shit. (TNT2. Shoot me.)

I want to run BF1942 and similar 3D games, even if it is at low quality. If anyone is getting rid of their old GeForce2, that would probably be good.

Cheap is nice, too.:D

Thanks.

[Moo]

*ahem*

turn to Page 12 of issue#95 of ur copy of PC powerplay.


we recently had a meeting with ATI, where we were privy to spme rather exciting infromation about their next generation of products. How does a video card that's going to perform approximately TWICE as fast as the 9800 sound to you?

Its codenamed R423, and is due out march next (this is from december issue) next year.



FKING SWEET!!! but:



However, your going to need a new motherboard to run it, as this speed daemon is utilising the new PCI Express design, which will replace teh PCI and AGP slots seen on current Motherboards.



well, this will go in step with me getting one of those there clawhammers :D

[FrEaK]

[Moo]
