it beats my G4Ti4200 in 3dmark 2003 by 1000 points...but it is slower..have
seen it lock-up and when it comes back is totally pixalated on the vid...it staggers under COD and MOHHA...this card should go..I just have a dud I believe but it sure turns you off. If you read some reviews they say Nvidia hasn't made a decent video card since the G4Ti series..4200,4400,4600 and 4800.This card in 2 machines has also given me an XP error. Like I said this one is definite dud. |

Hey guys, Im about to buy a new gfx card. Any idea wich one I could buy? I'm not a hardcore gamer, I use my computer for video and graphical editing mainly ... not that I dont play any games at all though ... I was thinking of a GeForce FX 5600 , but I checked out the graphics charts at tomshardware.com and noticed the card doesn't score that well ... Any tips?? Thanks!!! ... depending on what you do... or look at ATI cards... or look at the FX5700 Ultra/Non Ultra. If the games you do don't ask much 3d performance of a card, get a matrox P650 or an P750... |

Get the new FX 5700 Ultra. Around $199 (US) and should serve you nicely.

Recommened video card to get, over your MX440 (gag) Check this out: http://www.tomshardware.com/graphic/..._guide-12.html And what is your CPU/RAM situation? If your CPU is too slow, it could be a waste. $075~120 = Ti4200 $120~160 = ATI 9600Pro or 9600XT $180~220 = FX5900 (XT/SE/plain) $240~300 = ATI 9800Pro check out www.newegg.com or www.pricewatch.com -- Remember when real men used Real computers!?

if your mainly into video and graphical editing maybe you should be looking
at ATI AIW range of cards?

Then use Firewire for video editing. Don't use analog... its crap in comparison. read links below that I provided.
