Replace my GeForce3Ti 200

Djinnmage · 08-14-2003, 09:45 AM

In one of my computers I have a Geforce3 Ti 200 128 meg card by I believe Leadtek. It's been a great card but can't support dual monitor mode, like all the other geforce3's. I plan on selling this for $60-$70 if I can, and then replace it with a slightly more powerful card. I'm looking to spend between 100 and 150 (that's after selling the geforce). Anyone know what options I can pursue that would support dual monitor displays and be more powerful than the geforce card? I have no preference between ati and nvidia.

Well im a Nvidia fan so i would suggest trying to get a GeForce 4 Ti 4200 8x AGP.

On the high end of your budget, I'd say Radeon 9500/9600.

If you'd even consider a Radeon 9600...go for an nVidia GF4 Ti 4800SE

Thanks for the updates so far. What about a budget of $100?

Also, how does the Radeon 9200 (not SE) compare to a 9500 pro and how does it comepare to my geforce3?

For 100, I'd say a ti4200

"For 100, I'd say a ti4200"

I agree.

Djinnmage · 08-14-2003, 03:58 PM

and the ti4200 will support twinview? Also, does that card perform better than the radeon 9200? I have seen 9200 (not the SE) after shipping for under $80.

Yeah, the 9200 is mainly a higher-up budget card, and will get outperformed by the 4200. The Ti 4200 is nVidia's "budget" Ti also, but it's so powerful and overclockable that many people get it over the 4600.

Thanks for the advice. I just picked up a refurbed ti4200 128 meg albatron card at newegg for 85. Nice thing it is blue which matches the case lights in this computer. THanks again.
