**fivefeet8** · August 27th, 2002

any of the geforce 4's with the mx in it's name.. I'd say, snag the radeon 8500, radeon 9000, or the geforce 3 ti 200, geforce 3..

damn!! Have the prices for the geforce 3's fallen..

Get GF3 or RADEON 9000 (or if you're looking into a very low cost one, then select GF2 MX400).

get a geforce 3 model. Works good with all kinds of games and good with psx emulation too. The Radeon is NOT (much) faster but more expensive and less compatible

I haven't been happier with my GeForce 3, all games seem to be compatible and work great. Except maybe I need to turn down the detail a little bit in Unreal Tournament 2003. Some of my friends who have had Radeon cards have complained about drivers, they might have fixed it with there lates line up, but the vote is still out on that.
