Suggestions on this video card...

I'm planning to get a video card and I would like to know what you guys think on the Sapphire Radeon 9000 Atlantis Pro 128MB? I won't be playing much games only UT2003.

It's not a bad card but not the best for gaming. If you're on a budget, get a Radeon 8500 (or whatever they've changed the name too....9100 or 9200 I think) or a GeForce 4 Ti 4200. I believe they both outperform the 9000.

It does perform better but I prefer the 9000 since the only game I will be playing is UT2003. I'll take a look again at the GeForce 4 Ti 4200. Which brand (manufacturer) is best?

If Gainward scares you, look at Albatron.
