why buy a ti 4600 when you can buy either an nvidia 5600ultra/ati radeon 9500pro or 9600pro from the same amount of money ? they are as fast or faster than the 4600 and all have dx9 support in hardware... AND they can do AA and AF @ decent frame rates...

just a little confusing..

to answer your question... abit/albatron/asustek and msi all are good/well known manufacturers of nvidia cards... albatron has made a good name for itself by having decent overclocking cards @ a cheap price.. but you can't go wrong with any of the companies you listed...
 
well i looked at the 5600 ultra and it looks like a good card and its 256 mb for about the same price but my mobo is only 4x agp and its 8x so i was wondering if it will work??

don't bother with the 256mb version :)

you will not see a performance boost with that card.. the 256mb for the 5600ultra is a marketing gimmick and will cost you close to a hundred bucks more :)

agp 4x/8x is reverse compatible... 8x will work in a 4x motherboard... look @ mine :D

I have a 4x mobo and and 8x capable card... but the performance 'gain' is negligible going to 8x...
 
Sazar, ok now i am a lil cofused :( i checked out the ati 9600 pro and that one is cheaper then the ti 4600 the 5600 ultra is about the same price maybe cheaper..ati i never had one of their cards but i here good things now before it was the drivers people were complaining about. I checked out your card and wow that one is a lil out of my price range. i thought the ti 4600 out of these cards was the fastest..so out of these 3 cards which one would u recomend ? :) thx

the 9600pro is the fastest of the 3 you have named... and it should also have one of the better prices...

check out the comparisons there...

the 9500pro... if you can find it... is the best deal of the lot...
 
:) i checked out the 9500 pro and that one is more expensive out of the lot at pricewatch.com..so now i think i will just wait a lil longer to buy a new graphics card thanx for your input i hope i didn't waste to much of your time..your input did help though i do think i will look into all these cards a lil more..i have the geforce 3 ti 200 and it does the job for now i was just looking for a new card because of the new games that are coming out like doom 3 i think i will need a new graphics card with more ram..thx again.

np...

there is at least one more card from nvidia coming out before the end of the year... right around the time doom 3 will drop... and ati has at least 2 new releases.. well one ramped up product (r350 with higher clocks and other features) and a new product @ the end of the year/early next year which will be quite amzing from the looks of it :)

the gf3 should do the job for now..

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
