Most of the new games cooming out now are 64 MB min.

man, the title of this thread really confused me, until I actually read the post. "holy crap, they got it from 512MB to 64MB?!?!" heh, but yeah, that's the min requirement, which is why I'm gonna get a Radeon 9500 Pro. Affordability and power, boo-yah!

Flameseeker · 2003-02-23, 10:22 PM

My card is 32 MB. I'm doomed! Yay! I mean, darn.

sorry to dissapoint you but the RADON DRIVERS are really bad go around and ask people who playes WW2 Online in a Radon and see what they say, A graphical nightmare is one.

The new Radon 9700 are said to finally overhaul their drivers so they actually can show more powerful graphics and more complicated ones 2.

Dark- Stick to GeForce4 Ti4600 128mb, you'll thank the drivers reliability.

The Radeon 9500 Pro is just a watered down verion of te 9700, so no worries there. And there's no way I'm paying fo that overpriced Ge-whatever 4600.

Can get a new v.card cheap that will last for awhile. The Geforce and Radeon top-end cards would last for a while, but if your just buying it for this game its kind of overkill.

They might be lowering the v.card min requirment, anyways.

...Nvidia is cheaper than Radeon. Pricewatch prices a gforce4 MX460 64MB, as 89. Radeon as 156 minimum.

Teh RADEON 9700 = $400, GeForce 4 Ti4600 = $200 and I am positive that the 9700 is not 200% better. They both have their weaknesses and strong points. I suggest going with Nvidia because it is the industry standard and it has good drivers.

, Flame away you freakin nazis!

MX isn't a G4... anyhow...

Chaintech G4 Ti4600 128MB: $227
ATI Radeon 9700 128MB: $242

Best bang for your buck by far though is the Ti4200 w/ 128MB RAM:
ABIT SILURO GF4 TI4200-8X 128MB: $148

Well, Saint the numbers are wrong, but you're right. One of the cheapest I've seen a Radeon 9700 was $275 and a GeForce ti 4600s was around $140. Still a 2:1. I'm getting a 4600 next week, not cause I only don't want to waste the money, but becasue the 9700 gets too unstable when overclocked and cause ATi doesn't have the driver suppoet yet. I'm sure they will soon, but not before ps. I still would put them on equal footing because of the power+money vs stabilty+less money is one's opinion.

edit: nah, kiwi you can get 4600s cheaper than that, but i dont have time to look

Bighoss · 2003-02-23, 11:22 PM

who revived this anyways? I think its a few weeks old
