Okay... in general...
GeForce4 MX 440 or 460 for the budget minded. Despite what all the people are saying, this is quite a nice card and is quite capable of doing its job. True enough that its only a Higher Clocked GF2Ti with better RAM. But heck, it gets more than respectable frames for most games.
And whoever it was that said we don't need more than 60-70 frames... Try using ur comp at 60hz and tell me if ur eyes hurt after a while. You want at least 75-80fps for comfort. The more frames the more smoother the movement.
If you want a card that'll last a while but your not up to spending large amounts of money then go with a GeForce 3 Ti200, Ti500 or a GeForce 4 Ti4200.
Now if you got the money then of course go for the Ti4400 and the Ti4600. Always remember that more ram is better. (diminishing rewards still apply though.)
Ge4MX... orrite... It doesn't have the Texel shaders, nFiniteFX etc but heck, you can do quincunx with this baby and all games look nice with quincunx =) (quincunx is one(?) step up from trilinear filtering)
Full Version T&L?? what the hell you on about?
A GeForce 2 MX had full T&L...
