BU|2NED W/ ICE Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 Im pretty sure that my video card is faulty, crap the thing! Anyways, its a radeon 9700 pro, and its a really godly card if it doesnt break, lol. Anyways, i need some advice, i need to know what graphics card i should get, money is not a problem, i just need the greatest. Im thinking of getting another 9700 pro, just not the default one made by ati. The sapphire 9700 pro ultimate edition, or the ocz radeon 9700 pro level 3 se. I would like as much input as i can get! Thanks all! P.S.: The reason i didnt metion the "overrated" geforcefx ultra, is because they ran tests against the pro, and they both came out within 3 fps.

mxrider623 Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 dont buy an ATI card they have really crappy drivers wait till Nvidia releases their new cards, i think a few of them are out already but there are still more to come.

Ronin Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 ug, Im so tired of the "wait for this" skrew it! Theres always somthing better on the horizion, keep waiting and you wont have any new hardware...EVER! Okay, if you have hte cash then I would get the RAdeon 9700 pro all-in-wonder. It has the same performance as the 9700 pro but its has SO MANY EXTRA FEATURES!!! crap man, it has a remote control! Thats the next card I want.

BU|2NED W/ ICE Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 (edited) ummm....... ok, the only thing about the all in wonder is that you cant put a heatpipe on it.....this makes cooling hard to do. I was thinking of getting the new geforce fx, but i dont know if i can fork the cash right now. and ati is the best on the market right now..... oh and my memory is pc 2700 ddr, or 333 mhz corsair ram with the heatspeaders.

NyCUnDaGroUnD Posted March 29, 2003 Posted March 29, 2003 go for the ATI Radeon 9800. They beat out the Geforce FX so they are king for now. But if u are short on money get a Sapphire, Tyan, or Hercules Radeon 9700 Pro. They are really good overclockers. And then u can get the Softmod that turns a Radeon 9700 Pro into a Radeon 9800. How cool is that! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrusk Posted March 29, 2003 Posted March 29, 2003 yeah i say stick it out about a month for the 9800 pro, its gonna kick the crap outa everthing. Except in six months....... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_189 Posted March 30, 2003 Posted March 30, 2003 Hey My recomenndation would be the Sapphire 9700 NON PRO - because its cheaper Core 275 mhz wid 128mb ddr also has good benchmarks!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
