Boris Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 So the old Geforce 2 MMX400 64 is being pensioned off ?Don't think you'd get any sort of 9800 card for under £100 here in the UK ?http://www.kelkoo.co.uk/ctl/do/search?site...ue&catId=111601Cheapest there is the Sapphire Technology Radeon 9800 Atlantis Lite 128MB AGP DVI-I VO for £111.44 (inc. delivery) !

Zfactor Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 According to ATI's website, the x700 256mb is going for $199.99Here are the prices (US, didnt have UK)I skimmed CNET and it looked pretty good. Now, I have an X800 XT, so I do not know alot about midrange gphx cards (I had a 9600 XT before I got this new computer, this was before ATI's next gen mid-range cards came out) so you would probably have to search around for some reviews and benchmarks. You could try Tom's Hardware.One thing to consider is whether or not you have to hook the card up to your power supply, this was a major concern for me when I bought the 9600 XT (because I couldn't hook a GPHX card up to my power supply w/o getting a new one).

Redhat Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Keep in mind there is no 64bit drivers for ATI cards at present, that I know of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuzzman Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Als - if you ever plan to give Linux a shot, you won't find good Linux drivers for ATI. nVidia on the other hand, while the drivers aren't open-source, they are really really good.
