| 186653 | 2003-10-26 03:50:00 | What sorta frame rates can u get?? I am a v casual game player. Deciding whether to get this or one's that is not builtin Thx |

| 186654 | 2003-10-26 04:32:00 | For casual gaming the nforce2 with built in mx video will do you just fine,Frame rates will depend on the game and you wont be able to run the more grahicly heavy games at a high res or high detail.But they will still run. Now,im confused because in your other thread you say u are going with an intel cpu,But the nforce chipset is AMD only........ |

| 186655 | 2003-10-26 05:39:00 | Yes, I am now thnking with the AMD. Cost is a factor after I planned out the 800 mobo's, SATA HDDs, independent graphics. I may consider to drop the cpu down and get a Ti card. |

| 186656 | 2003-10-26 06:00:00 | Nomad I got an AMD 2600 CPU and ti4200 card, specs under the "partitions" thread, and get 100 fps solid on Counterstrike. Made a hell of a difference to gameplay and clarity. J :D |

| 186658 | 2003-10-26 07:21:00 | Hi again My household is upgrading, I may shell in, so I may pay for the graphics card. How nice! :D Ok, apart from the Ti series, which are the cards to look for?? I mean the full speed ones ie ... Ti series over MX. I am unfamiliar with the FX series... Nomad. |

I still enjoy the game, some things get better with age know ... well, so my wife tells me ;) I don't quite think she was referring to counterstrike though .... lol |

| 186660 | 2003-10-26 08:04:00 | From what ive read the fx cards are pretty bad performers,The fx5200 for instance gets out performed by the g4mx,and the fx5600 gets beaten by the g4ti4200,and even when you jump to their top of the line card the FX5900 Ultra it takes a performence hit when rendering dx9 effects. My opinion,for whatever its worth there is no way the latest range of nvidia cards are worth buying. The best value card other then the g4ti is the ATI 9600pro.Not super expensive,fully dx9 compatible,and it stomps on the g4 series and most of the fx series of cards.... |
