Guest Damo Posted March 22, 2003 Report Share Posted March 22, 2003 Good question Ravin....im thinking of gettin a 9700 pro..........but im gonna upgrade my PSU......its only a lowly 250w at the mo :o i would go for the Ti instead of the MX if i was you...but like anything it all boils down to cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince of Calcutta Posted March 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2003 i am leaning towards the ti series .. 9700 bit over budget now :o how much are they ? but aren't there a few different versions of the ti series cards ?

Guest Shirley_Crabtree Posted March 22, 2003 Report Share Posted March 22, 2003 Hi Ravin.I would certainly recommend the Ti over the MX.Look here http://www.tomshardware.com/graphic/200212...acharts-05.htmlThe GF4 MX series actually scores considerably less marks than the GF3 cards!I would imagine a 350 watt psu should be OK.Edit...Another option is to buy a Radeon 9500 which can be soft-modded to give 9700 performance...I don't know too much about that but two00lbwaster does. ;) Cheers.Shirl.

Prince of Calcutta Posted March 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2003 since my mobo is agp 4x should i stay away from the 8x cards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shirley_Crabtree Posted March 22, 2003 Report Share Posted March 22, 2003 Hi Ravin,The only GF4 Ti I have used is an Abit Siluro GF4 Ti4200 64MB DDR (Which actually sores more marks than the 128MB version!!!)It's a great card and good value for money.(Currently £102 inc vat at http://www.scan.co.uk)Cheers.

Guest Shirley_Crabtree Posted March 22, 2003 Report Share Posted March 22, 2003 since my mobo is agp 4x should i stay away from the 8x cards?Not really.It won't hurt to future-proof that part of your PC :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince of Calcutta Posted March 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2003 guess i'll look at the 4200's then .. thanks again shirl :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Damo Posted March 22, 2003 Report Share Posted March 22, 2003 Thats a good price, i remember when i bought my GF3 ti 200..cost me an arm and a leg........and thats why im *beep* at CS and DoD! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shirley_Crabtree Posted March 22, 2003 Report Share Posted March 22, 2003 If you DO want to think about 8xAGP for future-proofing check out the Ti 4800 too.Cheers.Shirl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
