which videocard should I buy ?
Stefan Truyman wrote:
Hello, I have a AMD Athlon 1.7Gb, 512 DDR memory and a Radeon VE (64MB) videocard. I just bought Tombraider AOD and even with this configuration, the graphics aren't as fluid and smooth as I should wish. So I'm looking out for a new graphics card. Can anyone recommend me a payable solution to solve this problem ? Depends on your budget... If you dont want to spend too much, a 9600 Pro is very nice, a 9500 Pro is better, but hard to find. A 9800 Pro is much better still, of course, but quite expensive, and you'll come close to the point where your CPU will be the bottleneck. Thomas |

Try the 9800 non pro. It's a couple of hundred bucks cheaper than the 9800
pro, at least here in Canada, but has all the same features and a slower clock speed. I understand that you can overclock them to almost the speed of the 9800 pro.
