Best card for $100 delivered

[bill1971]

I've been partial to ATI, and I believe a 9000 Pro can be had for around $100 delivered. but it seems I've seen an FX 5200 w/ 256MB memory for about $105 delivered.

Does ATI still have the edge?

I'd appreciate recommendations in this narrow price range, $95 to $105 delivered. DVI-D connection would be a definite plus.

While I'm thinking about it, does anyone know where to find low profile vid cards with the proper short brackets. I've found some that are convertible to low profile, but seem to have a prob finding the short brackets,(e.g. Asus cards). DVI connection once again would be a plus.

Thanks.

anyone else??

You should be able to find a GeForce 4 Ti4200 for that price.

It will outperform the FX 5200 and the Radeon 9200.

For a Ti 4200


But this card will outperform the Ti4200 but its $6 more.

The 9500 does not outperform a GeForce 4 Ti4200.

Thanks for the info, guys:

Actually I think I already have a new Ti 4200 64MB amongst my burgeoning inventory. This will go into a new build for a friend, who games on-line, mostly Quake III, I believe.

Thanks again. Still looking for low profile vid cards as well, so any suggestions would be welcome.

Hmm maybe your right, oh well I assumed because it is made by ATI.

Check out gameve.com. I picked up an MSI GeForce4 Ti4200 64MB model for $78.00 shipped.
