Geforce 5600 256mb....

[mfuz]

Ok, I am thinking of buying this along with some RAM to play this game. Can someone tell me if this is a good card to buy (getting it for 156$ cause im on tight budget) for the money? If there are any other Geforce cards around that price that would be better, id like to know about it. But please avoid posting about things like how much better ATI cards are than Geforce...I dont want, or need, to hear anything about that. Just about Geforce cards, particulary the Geforce 5600 256mb card. Thanks a lot, any advice is appreciated.

ATI Radeon 9500 pro...

-good for a budget
-can play next gen games (hl2,doomIII, ect)
-maximum pc magazines top rated budget card

the 5600 doesnt hold a candle to the 9500pro even the 9600pro

Major difference between the 9500pro and the 9600pro is that the 9500 has 8 rendering pipelines, the 9600pro only has 4. Go with the 9500pro IMHO.

That being said:

For $155.00 I would go with the Albatron GeForce4ti 4200. You can get it for around $104.00 here. (http://www.buyxtremegear.com/al3.html) You can also hook up a vcr to the S-Video out to record matches. This is the same video card I have and I haven't had any problems with the game. Most problems with the game can be solved by having at least 1GB DDR memory. And the way that memory is these days, you should be able to pick up a gig for cheap.

Ok, so the Geforce FX 5600 sucks. I found a 9500 pro for 178 bucks. Thanks for all the advice!
