Geforce FX's price and performance for ps?

[Prowler]

Its still good though...

[Venoxile]

I wouldn't say it's "good", i'd say it's "shit" compared to any other high performance card. Thanks for the answers, i was looking at those low prices and those shitty speeds and it was boggling my mind...
Anyone think that the radeon 9700 pro will drop lower then 300$ before june? I doubt it, and i can afford paying 300$ for it, but it's always a good idea to wait and try to save money if possible.
You guys think a radeon 9700 pro could run at full settings with a 1.8 gig athlon xp? If not, what would be the minimum gig for an athlon xp and full settings with a 9700 pro?

[Sputty]

Well, iyt's around 300 now. Heh, 520 CDN. Carry the Y.... Ok, it should be around 350 or something

All I can say is that I got to see the 5800 work, and that is one SWEET card!!! kills my 4600 by far! It is the king of cards.

*lol, that sounded funny

You can find third-party manufactured Radeon 9700 Pro cards for just over $300. And get this - last month I ran into a full-blown ATI standard 9700 Pro card that retails for $400 with a $100 INSTANT REBATE at none other than BEST BUY. What kind of insane luck is that? And it was the last day of the sale, so I had to pick it up for my new system config

Side note: The R300 core of the 9700 Pro KILLS anything but the highest model of Geforce FX which is buggy, ugly as a horse's ass, and takes of TWO slots. Why go with anything else??

cuz I have seen sooo much crash on radon cards, ill stick with my g4-4600 thanks

[Venoxile]

which manufacturer makes the best 9700 pro? I know that ati makes them with the highest clock speed, i don't know much more about the 3rd party manufacturers.

[Sputty]

Why are people saying the Radeon crashes? Which Radeon? The original? The new chips don't crash so you've heard wrong if you think it's new. Hell, my 8500 never has a prob.

[Mephistroth]

I think ATI cards are a lot better than NVidia, I mean, the new R9800 pro totally smokes the GeForce FX, in almost every test PCGamer took. Anyway, I can't afford a 9700 or 9800 cause im poor, lol. So im looking for a decent card at a decent price, maybe a R9500, but I just found a 9700 pro made by ATI directly for $266. That's a pretty nice price. Too bad I only have 200$... sigh.....

ati=ati=ati
geforce= 500 diff ones

if your getting radon, just get ati, they are the only ones

and sputty, I have used the 9700 and it crashed on ArmadaII, EliteForce, STNewWorlds, and Tetris (just to name a few) I will admit that all games listed have had fixes made for them, and that the test was done the day it came out, but I have never found 1 thing that my 4600 cant run. Not that the radons are bad cards, I just find that in game you can pump a little more out in gforce (when you have them running side by sind on 21 inch moniters, the gforce seems to be just slightly crisper on the shadowing), and I have not found a game that has crashed with it. Just my expirences though

*actually, thats not true, I have not seen a card in 5 years that can run KKND1, dont know why, but they cant.
