New Graphics Card
9600 pro, hands down. It's a totally different generation card. The Ti4800
is non-DX9 compliant. - AndrewMacInnes stood up at show-n-tell, in , and said: I'm getting a new graphics card and have decided to get a card with either an nividia Geforce Ti4800 chipset or an ATI 9600 chipset as i think these are the best performing graphics at my price range ~ max £150 unless anyone has other suggesstions. My main consideration is performance, does anyone have a suggestion as to which chipset and graphics card I should go for? Thanks in advance to replies Andy -- Strontium "You may be right! It's all a waste of time! I guess that's a chance I'm prepared to take....A danger I'm prepared to face.....Cut to the chase." - RUSH |

"So, Mr Slumpy you *really* are the perpetual comedian, aren't you ?" I
threw back my head and roared with laughter as *** HAWK continued: Hi, I am looking to buy a relatively cheap graphics card. My current Geforce 2mx-400 doesn't really cut the mustard and needs an upgrade. My budget is between £45-70. What card would people go far - I am not bothered with extras like TV-Out. Also which Manufacturer - ATI or Nvidia? Also prices would be helpful & any links to UK vendors only. Thanks In the UK ? GForce 5 at my local computer fair were just over 50 quid last week :-) -- slumpy no more no less just slumpy |

Then stop using that domain name in your addy. Not only are you
appropriating someone else's property but they're getting spammed as a result. Try a 'munge' http://members.aol.com/emailfaq/mungfaq.html *** HAWK wrote: In a word no. anymore ideas on the graphics card.... i need a new one :-D "SgtMinor" wrote in message . ..

Thanks OP: In other words, when munging your email address, be sure to pick a domain that isn't valid! Those are not the other words that I would use. It's not a good idea to use anything that even resembles a domain name, valid or not. Even a seemingly ridiculous domain name may/can/will be registered at some time. Try for yourself: make up some domain name and check here to see if it's registered: http://www.canufly.net/~georgegg/dns/ And adding NOSPAM or another phrase is not foolproof either. I wouldn't be at all surprised if a spambot stripped the word 'invalid' off your addy, for instance. snip |
