Hi everyone,

I'm looking at upgading my Geforce 2 video card for under $100

It looks like I can get either a Geforce FX 5200 or a ATI Radeon 9550. Both have 128 mb RAM and TV out

Has anyone had any experience with these cards? and what has been your experience?

My current system is an AMD 1700 (1.5Gig) with 512mb of RAM

Cheers

If you want something that will last you are fair while, think about a 6600GT for around $250, if not I found these

If you want to play the latest games (DX9.0b, DX9.0c) I can personally recommend an ATI 9600XT card. 128mB will perform faster than 256mB, on the other hand I get just as good frame rates from a GeForce 4ti, if you don't care about the latest superbling visual effects. I'm sure you could find some old stock somewhere real cheap. The GeForce 4Ti will walk all over the two cards you mentioned on DX8 & DX7 games, BUT you really do need to spend more if you want decent frame rates with HL2, Doom 3, BIA, FarCry etc. www.msy.com.au seems to be the cheapest in Sydney.
