Video Card Advice!

[dwm696]

I'm looking to buy a new video card (around $400 US), to be used with gaming and high end graphics, but I need a TV in/out port.....c'mon chaps whatcha recommend???

What's there to recommend but the RADEON VIVO 64Mb DDR!!!!!!!

Radeon 64MB w/ VIVO....it can be had for $400 CDN...which is roughly $220-$250 American.
but that depends what platform u're running it on - since u emntioned high-end graphics..
if u're running win2k (or anything not win98) then get smoething else - ie. geforce 2 gts 32mb...
unless u run at higher res., then 64mb would be good - wouldn't advise the overpriced ultra.

but if u want overpriced, consider a oxygen gvx420 w/ 128MB mem and dual DVI out...
or a wildcat 4220....
although, i'm not sure about the gaming situation on such cards....i'm nto sure about anything...
not even me....not even this self-referential sentence.

Athlon Classic 700@784
Asus K7M
128MB PC100 generic

Get the NV20.

Slight problem.... you can't actually buy an NV20 right now

I would tend to agree nortexoid. The radeon is probably your best bet for VIVO, but if you use win2k then you maybe be better off with something like the Asus V7700 Deluxe...

LOL Glen, I'll just hop in my car and head to the store and pick me up a NV20 as well.

Thanx WizKid, I was actually think about the ASUS......is there a 64MB version or is it still only the 32MB?????

for 400, you might be able to pick up a Geforce 2 Ultra
