Trying to help a friend out with his GFX
my knowlage aint up to much in the budeget section (i know cockey huh)
could you help me out.....Got £80 to spend on a gfx card that will
last him for Elite Force 2 and Halo (for PC, if it ever comes out)
not sure if he want's to use it for HL2 or Doom3... Dont think so...
Get a ti4200 or ti4400. There was a bargain on OCS, but, as you probably know, they are no more. Ebuyer have ti4200's at cheap prices, check out the Bargain Hunt forums regularly for good deals on graphics cards as those two have been in a lot of bargains recently.
Yeah best your gonna get for that money is a Ti4200. Theres a Leadtek on eBuyer for £70
LEadtek Ti4200 8x 64Mb

Rig: XP2500+ @ 2.3Ghz || 1Gb Geil PC3200 Dual Channel || Epox 8RDA+ || PowerColor R9800 128Mb @ 420/390 (VGA Silenced) || 40Gb Maxtor D740X || 60Gb Maxtor Plus 9 || Lite-ON 16x DVD || Lite-ON 48x12x48x CD-RW || 480W Tagan TG480-U01 || Z-640 5.1 || 3Dmark2K1SE Score! || 3Dmark2K3 Score! ||
For that price range I think the Ti4200 or Ti4400 is probably the bang-per-buck... But I also found Sapphire Radeon 9200 Atlantis 128MB DDR, AGP (with DVI and TV-Out) Retail kit for under £75 from Komplett...

I wouldn't get a 9200, a Ti 4200 will eat it alive for performance. Even a 9100 is quicker but they're getting hard to find now.
hmm wonder what will happen when we see the dx9 in action
Sure but a 9200 isn't DX9 any more than a Ti 4200Originally posted by acidrainy

That's what ATI want you to think, hence their deliberately confusing naming conventionOriginally posted by acidrainy

A 9200 is a 9000 with AGP 8x.. a 9100 is an 8500 with lower core/mem speeds. Both are DX8.1 cards
so is the 9200 dx9 if its a 9000 ?
gah thats cunfussing
Found it... :/
High-Performance 3D
RADEON™ 9200 series is the first mainstream graphics solution to combine Microsoft® DirectX® 8.1 support with AGP 8X. Twice the bandwidth of other graphics processors provides substantial horsepower for the most demanding desktop 3D applications.
I was confused myself... Sorry, gave you a dud...
