I agree, see if you can find a GeForce3 Ti200 or preferrably a Ti500 card.
You can go with an FX 5200 but I'm not sure you would see any sort of improvement. Ron "Angus Sutherland" wrote in message ... I would get either a FX5200 (not worth much more on that system unless you plan upgrading it) or a GeForce3 from eBay - I've only just replaced mine and it was still pulling strong at 1024x768 32bit MAX settings on UT2003......

I suggest you try borrowing a friends graphics card or so to check if it's the monitor first, so you don't spend cash where it's not needed. My monitor had built-in subwoofer and 2x speakers so I'm guessing that caused it. His gfx card was an old TNT2. From my experience, heat malfunctions usually appear in more obvious ways than this, for example garbled colours and twisted polygons in games. I've swapped out the monitor and it works, so this is definitely the video card. Do you know if they sell NVIDIA GeForce 256 32 Mb RAM cards anymore? I bet they don't. Can you, or anyone, recommend a replacement for my system? I'm using a AGP bus on a Micron Millennia 800 MHz P3 with SSE. NVIDIA BIOS version 2.10.02.12 Edwin Hubble |
