CREATIVE FX5200 OR ATLANTIS RADEON 9100?
I have £90 to spend on a graphics card and I am really only willing
to purchase it from a highstreet store since I if it's faulty I can just take it straight back. I'm aware that I'm gonna fork out about £20 more for that privilege so unless you really think that the prices I quote are completely nutty then please don't tell me about the £20 price differential. Basically, my Voodoo5 has now become totally useless to me. I used to use my PC for 3d Studio Max, Midtown Madness, Activision Star Trek sims and occasionally Flight Sims, GTA etc etc and whereas the older software worked fine the new software worked but lacked all the advertised T&L effects. Now it's got to the stage where my graphics (and my 900mhz AMD @957 - don't tell me about it, when Christmas comes I'll be getting a new beast) have become too decrepit to handle the latest releases. Firstly, FS2004 is unusable...although loadable and jerky. But, the final straw on the camel's back was Enter the Matrix, which I cannot load at all. (Card must have HW T&L, also device should be compatible with dx9) I've had a look on the websites for my highstreet stores and I've got a shortlist of two cards to choose from (although if you really think I'd be better off spending my money on another card please feel free to suggest it). Atlantis ATI Radeon 9100 (128mb DDR) - £90 Creative GeForce FX5200 (64mb DDR) - £63. I looked for non-Creative as in my experience they are slower, but no such luck. Bearing in mind what I want to use the graphics card for, what do you suggest? Thanks in advance, Jake |
