Getting a new graphics card

External Since: Feb 11, 2006 Posts: 5

Hi

I have a Nvidia Geforce4 MX Integrated GPU and it isn't good enough for
Matrix - Path of Neo
I need a new Graphics card but i can't spend big.
Is there a card uner $200 that doesn't have the extras (Tv output
etc.) but can play PON? i would prefer a 256MB

Also how do I get rid of the GPU of the geforce 4?

Yeah the ATI 800XL 256 megs is an excellent card if you can find one
under 200.
Its roughly equal to the 6800 GT.

The 6800 non gt is excellent too though they tend to have 128 megs but
its not that big of deal unless you know something about the game you
want to play which uses lots of memory.

There are some 6600GT 256 cards. Thats one of the mainstream cards for
game playing now under 200. Some of the 128 meg ones go as low as 100
bucks with rebate but the avg non rebate price is 138-170 or so. There
are zillions ofdifferentversions of the card.

Havent played path of neo so I dont know the specifics of the game but
people are using the 6600GT etc with DOOM3 and fEAR and other current
games with excellent graphics.

There have been some clearance sales of 6800s recently at CC with
rebates under 200.
