You guys seem like you know what you're talking about when it comes to video cards. I plan to build my own computer in the next month or two but I'm going to buy the video card so I can run tribes in 3D mode so I don't have to look at it in the disturbing software mode all the time. So what video card do you think I should buy, I'm really only playing tribes but I plan to get Battlefield1942 so I want one that will support that whenever I get around to getting it. Thanks for the feedback in advance.

Ok, Hiiro.  First, make sure you have an AGP slot (dunno if I am speaking to a complete noobie, but ill continue anyway).

If you are gonna upgrade your video or build a new computer, make sure you have an AGP slot.  It is a brown slot that normally is above the white PCI slots.

Now, if on a budget, I recommend at least a GF3 ti500 or higher.  I have the origional GF3, and Doom III alpha runs terrific.  Imagine how it would run on a ti500.

Here is a good deal on one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... egory=3762

Yeah, cheap, aint it.



Now, if you are going for a performance, I recommend a Geforce4 ti4200 if you want a little more kick to your gaming, or a ATI Radeon 9500 pro if you want serious performance.
*edit*  Found a great price on a 9500 http://www9.dealtime.com/xPC-Sapphire_T ... gy~FD-1722


Now, for the kick ass performance, this one is a wallet buster, but a goodie if you can afford.  If you can, get a ATI Radeon 9700 pro   OR   if you really have a fat wallet, go all out and buy the fastest card on the market:  The ATI Radeon 9800 pro.

I hear some nice things about GeforceFX, but Jason Xero says "nope".  So I'll take his word...

I'm a little knowledgeable about computers. Nah the current computer I'm using doesn't have a AGP slot so I'm going to have to settle for PCI. The computer I'm building I'm going to make sure it has AGP on the motherboard. Might even go with a dual processor motherboard but that's further down the line. I'm more looking for value right now than performance although I still want to run Battlefield. But Tribes is my main game right now and I know even a 16mb card will do. But that ATI Radeon 9500 is looking like what I want so I'm most likely going to go with that. Thanks for your help. Darwin.[/color]

Ok, now if you didnt know, dual processors arent going to aid in speed on gaming.  If you play Battlefield 1942 or half life, one processor will be running while the other is idle.  I think dual processors are only to be used for servers.



Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.a ... 13-131-436 (NON REFURBISHED ONE:  Asus Motherboard for AMD Athlon/XP (nforce2)-- $130

Processor&Fan: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.a ... 19-103-336  --  AMD ATHLON XP 2400 /266 FSB PROCESSOR CPU -- $105

Make sure you have at least a 350 watt power supply or better.  It probably wont be enough for me, So I am going to use two power supplies when I build my comp.

*edit*
You will be wasting money by buying a PCI card.  PCI is neanderthal technology when it comes to graphics cards.

20$ more and you can get a Barton 2500+ that runs on the 333FSB which means that you can run the ram in-sync with the FSB and with the extra MHz on the FSB, you can grab some extra speed for free.

But I wouldn't go with that 2400.  I would get a 2100 JIHUB(Thoroughbred B core) and o/c that to 2.3GHz with a simple vcore adjustment, oh and good cooling.

Videocard department: accept nothing less than a 9500 non-pro for money's sake

9500 Pro if you want a little more bang for the buck.

9700 non-pro if you want good speed for a little cheaper than Pro (just get 9700 Pro bios and it will be the same)

*I would not recommend nVidia products as of yet.  This includes the latest FX 5900 Ultra*

On the note of the 9500 non-pro:  you can overclock the core to at least 9700 Pro speeds because they all use the same R300 core.  I'm not too sure about the memory, but it may be the same in nano-second speed so you can get a good o/c for it.  9500 non-pro stock runs at 275/275, in turn, you can simple overclock to 300/300, 9500 Pro speed, and get that 50$ performance for free.  The computer I built for a friend is an XP 2100 on an EpoX nForce2 mobo with 512MB DDR 266 ram along with a 9500 non-pro (made the mistake of not getting the L-shaped memory architecture).  Battlefield runs really good on it, much better than my other friend's 2200 512MB DDR on a Ti 4200.

Gotta love SBC with their 6Mbps tier for 45$
(Yes, on their site it only shows 3Mbps, but it is actually 6Mbps, I would know :)).

Nah, I meant this, lazy.

*edit*
So what would you recommend as a video card solution besides liquid cooling (any cheap fans that attack to em?).

Some of the older fast (of their time) video cards used to have fans on them..

Look at the Voodoo 5 5500.

It had 2 fans. It didn't need them at all.. But the card was made for mega OCing.

If you were to put fans on your video card, I suggest getting at least one (doesn't have ot be big) fan to put over it. Remember, size doesn't exactly matter.. You just want to cool it off.

TO make it even cooler, Iw ould have a case fan sending air out right under it for max.

Then again if you go to http://www.tigerdirect.com   THey have a fan that fits into a cd rom slot, and is guaranteed to make your case 30* cooler.. Trust me, it works. Mine is 47* cooler.

Uh, if you dont already have a fan on your card that can run OpenGL, then your card is screwed.

I want one specifically designed that attaches to the back of the card right behind the GPU to cool it.  Maybe one behind the ram too...

If I need too, I might buy a copper plate that fits behind the card so that I can liquid cool it.
