Ok, I have £80 to get a new video card, I want one for games, I\'m looking for a 3D that can support D3D and OpenGl and whatever else you need for games, I want to get it from http://www.ebuyer.com as they have good prices, if some of you could check out the site and have a look at whats best for £80 as I have no clue about GFX cards. My Pc spec is 1ghz AMD with 320Mb Ram, at the momment I have Nividia Riva TNT2 Model 64/ Model 64 pro which is D3D and a pile of crap, Im sure I can get something alot better for £80. Please can you lot help me.*
I know this should be pc hardware but more poeple will see it in here.

Since I\'m a lazy bastard I\'ll just list some good (and relatively cheap) gfx cards. The order is cheapest/slowest to more expensive/faster:
Geforce 3 Ti 200
Geforce 3
Geforce 3 Ti 500
Geforce 4 Ti 4200
All of those should be fairly cheap and should give you nice performance.

Ive been looking at the Inno3D Tornado GeForce3 Ti200 128Mb DDR with TV-Out for £86
-
That should be an ok card. How much is the cheapest GeForce4 Ti 4200?
-
about £115, I don\'t have the cash. But I did that system test at nvidia and this is what i got http://www.boomspeed.com/stevetgha/performance.jpg it will still be a huge improvement
-
Yeah, the GF3 Ti 200 will do nicely, it\'s just not the \'top of the line\'. But neither if your CPU, so all in all it should work out alright. :)
-

It should be ok... but remember that WC3 requires a lot. I have 850MhZ Athlon, GeForce 2 MX 64mb, 640 SD ram, and I have to set all effects to the lowest... or else it starts to lag a lil bit when a lot of stuff happens at once.
But, your PC will be ok untill next year... when ID release their new Doom III engine :) After that, u need a new comp... no doubt about that hehe.

I\'ll be buying a new one next year anyway, just need somthing for now. Doom lll looks to good.

Well, the GF3 is a lot better than a GF2 mx, which is quite limited performance wise.

Also, by me having that piece of crap I have right now could that casue more problems, like when I play a game all of a sudden the character will spin round and just lag out or make the sound bad or make the screen **** up like when I was playing allied assault.
-
I just found this, its about £20 more is this better
Gainward Geforce3 Powerpack!!! Ti500 Tv Jumbo Golden Sample /agp 128mb Ddr Ti-200 Chipset With Tv-out
-
Yes, that would be even faster.
