Video Card Advice - Please
I am building a computer for my daughter. I am an experienced computer
builder. I have all the parts necessary to build her a decent system, but I have not been in the loop lately in the area of video cards. She will do some gaming, but I don't want to go high end. Can some of you suggest a video card for less than, say, $100 that I can be assured will handle most games acceptably? Any feedback appreciated. |

An ATI Radeon 9000 Pro is about that price or you could probably find a
GeForce4 Ti4200 for slightly more. Both good cards. Centella Cajon wrote: I am building a computer for my daughter. I am an experienced computer builder.

Ti4200 is probably the one you're really asking for. It's more than $100 though. Radeon 9000 is probably the only other one you need to consider, down at $70. Sorry, there doesn't seem to be anything worthwhile in between. Mind you, neither of these cards have hardware support for DX9 features. But I assume that is a mute point, considering your budget, anyway. Centella Cajon wrote: I am building a computer for my daughter. I am an experienced computer builder.
