New card
By the time xmas rolls around I'm going to upgrade my video card. I don't want to spend more than 250 bucks on one (w/o the shipping). Can someone suggest a good 128 meg card that fits that price range? Also, could someone tell me some info on the new supposedly "godlike" ATI card that came/is coming out?

The Radeon 9700 is the new card from ATI. It is due out in mid-august so not much of a wait now. Estimated cost is $400. With the release of the 9700, the GF4 Tis will come down in price, so you could pick up a 4200/4400 for a great price.

You could probably get into a GF4 Ti4600 in 4-5 months for around that price!

The Radeon 9500, the 9700's little brother, is supposed to be out by then and it's going to be priced around the $250.00 mark, or so it's said.
It'll support DirectX9 and should be just what you're looking for. I'm waiting for this card also. Last edited by pam123; 08-06-2002 at 04:33 PM. |
