I use a ti4200, it's all I need for rendering, I hardly play the latest games anymore but it's not a slouch in the game dept. either for the aging directx8 card that it is.

Ahhh I see.

Sure ya don't wanna let me see what your monitor looks like with a 9800 Pro instead?

(yeah I know the 9800 isn't exactly the latest anymore either!)

EDIT: n/m different person replied! oops!

Thanks to faZZter now I'm paranoid about my Ti4200.

I'm not a gamer (unless you count Simpson's Hit & Run).

Should I sell the Ti4200 and drive to Fry's for a 9800 Pro?

If you're not a gamer, I wouldn't worry about it.

(The Ti4200 does have a DVI port, no?)

No, you should buy my X850XT PE.

Whoops, nevermind, you wouldn't be able to use it anyway.

I'd say buy my Gainward 6800GT, but its already spoken for.

But I'm paranoid now, Ti4200 should have DVI.

Heck no. If you aren't a hardcore gamer the Ti4200 will do fine. And even if you are a gamer it works decently... (I had one until I got a 9700 Pro as a Christmas gift)

Oh, BTW RossMAN, about that monitor of yours... I HATE YOU :|

I've never installed an AGP video card so I hope I don't screw it up.

Pics will be forthcoming tonight or tomorrow.

Hey Rossman, good deal. Can you do us a really big favor? Can you take a fairly close up pic showing the full screen at it's native res and at a lower res to see how well it scales down? I've seen the posts saying they scale well but I think it'd be cool to see exactly what the difference will be.

My 15" NEC 1545V's native is 1024x768 but looks mighty blurry at 800x600 for example. BTW thanks to hot deals forum for a great deal on that 1545 iI got it foir only $188 a couple of years ago.

Yeah, could you also post lower res games without it being scaled? (When the unused space is just black).

People also say they can have two browser open side by side. Pics of this too please?

It's only 1680 pixels wide, not that different from 1600. Now 1920 across, that would be a step up.

RossMAN, I'm running my 2005FPW off a Geforce4 MX420 on analog. I wouldn't buy a new video card if having a 2005FPW is your only reason to buy one. I compared images on it on my friend's DVI/analog ATI card and I couldn't tell the difference.

 

[StrangerGuy]

Pics now or Ban!
