Radeon 9000

[Daniel]

WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO! Bought the bloody thing and damn...it's working quite nice. I get 99 constant fps in CS! I love this card already. :biggrin2:

How much did it cost? I'm getting tired of random fps levels between 30 and 60 with my TNT2 M64.

$132 CAD.

I'm getting a Radeon 9700 next year and probably I can play high resolution stuff.

I'm already running a dual monitor display on 1600*1200 each.

Eh? I got my GeForce 2 MX for $30 CAD. Then I upgraded to this.

GeForce 3 is about that much though, for the MX one though.

I dunno about $84, but they're $89 at Directron.

I know everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but have you seen screenshots of what the 9700 Pro can do? Beats the shit outta GeForce 4.

And for some reason all the vid cards are priced higher here (Atlanta).

And only a prick would want to buy a GeForce 4 MX440 for $200 CAD.

The Radeon is the best bang for buck here.

Daniel, where did you buy it, and what kind of processor do you have?

I bought a Radeon 32 DDR Le last year, but still only get about 15-25 FPS in CS (although, 40-60 in Quake3). I assume it's my PIII 450 slowing things down, but does anyone think buying an even better card can get me anything, or am I pretty much screwed until I buy a new computer?

/Me gots:

AMD Athlon XP 2000+(clocked at 1700mhz)
ASUS A7V333
512MB PC2100 DDR RAM
Maxtor 7200RPM 60GB harddrive
Sapphire Radeon 9000 64MB DDR

All good.

I haven't tried any Quake 3 games, yet. And I suggest don't get a new video card unless your going upgrade your motherboard, processor, and hell maybe even the ram.

Not that I would buy a G4 MX440 anyway, but you can get them for $50.

Not here. Then again, I don't want a MX440.
