Video Cards?

[Creatures]

there are so many different things that video cards can do, some special things i never heard of like, geforce and ati have different things and i dont know if those special features are usefull or if it just lags my PC

BTW what is a good cheap Graphic card for a graphic designer and sometimes game player, like Battlefield or JKJA my geforce 2 mx handles both no lags, JKJA with highest settings (no wonder quake3 engine) and battlefield/desertcombat with lowest settings. (i think that's because of my 2.2 GHz =)

i dont want one of those 9800 or geforce FX, just a normal graphic card i'm not a fan of fantastic graphic settings in games, i like the gameplay and that's all!

sounds like a good ole ti4200 then . it will play all the games you play and should do well in grafics design . and they can be had for about 100$ here not sure what they cost in your part of the world .

lol same, not a big difference here or there =)

i also thought about that one, because a friend of mine had that one!, next thing i think about is more ram =) =) loading times are terrible =)

well the cpu shouldn't be the problem thats plenty of power .

[Creatures]

why is the cpu the problem if it has plenty of power?
you think it's too fast for the rest of my PC =)

it shouldn't be , that was just my lazy typing and forgeting letters

[Creatures]

lol =)

well it's the ram and the HD, because the graphic card has got nothing to do with loading times, right?

well i don't think it does . i would think that loading as in a game or an ap is hd or memory . a slow video card will not build the pic as fast but thats lower frame rates .
