Which card is better for online 3D rpg game?
GeForce 4 4200
Radeon 7500 Radeon 8500 Radeon 9000 PRO My budget is low, so those are my option. I have a AMD 1900xp 20HD nforce2 motherboard 256DDR

The Geforce is the best gaming card out of the four. It will perfrom excellently for online gaming. I recommend Golden Samples from Gainward. Other good brands are MSI, Asus, Leadtek and Evga.

2 more questions
does 64mb and 128mb contribute a big different? I know game lag is depending how many people interacting in the same area. does a high end grapic card help a lot? My gf2mx can handle normal battle, but if there are more the 50+ people in the same area, i will have a lagging issue. |

The megabyte difference really wouldnt be noticable as there are not yet games that require 128megs to run. I would recommend getting the 128 version of the card, just because future games will require that much. Doom3 for instance.
The Geforce4 will be able to handle the intense battles much better then that Geforce2 MX. The memory and GPU run faster on the GF4, so they can process the battles faster, there by cutting down the lag to nothing or very slight. It will be a huge difference over the GF2MX. |

is there any website or any tester compared the GF4 ti4200 in Gainward, MSI, Asus, Leadtek and Evga?
I had heard a lot of recommendation about Gainward, but i am just wondering the other brands performance. |

If you have a NForce motherboard, get the Ti4200. I doubt that there is a significant difference in performance between brands.

Well, ati seems to have a better image quality, regardless of the stability of an ati in the nforce mobo. Rpgers seem to be after image rather than framerate. As to the mem, get most you can, my 128meg card clocks at the faster 64meg card's speed. This will not apply to all of them, of course. The more mem, the more textures you have on tap for the card to render. More visualy appealing without a performance hit.
Then again, I fear ati drivers. The nvids have been good to me. |
