Looking with a new grafic card with limited budget

DyNaRaX · 13th August 2004, 10:08

I'm thinking to upgrade my Geforce 2 MX because playing Doom III @ 4.4fps sucks.

The budget is quite limited, max 125 Euro.

Any tips?

Is the Aopen Aeolus FX5700 DV128Mb DDR Tv/DVI 118.3 € (forcom.be) a good buy with my limited budget?

FX5700 = 800x600 LQ 30fps Doom III
FX5900XT = 1024x768 MQ 30fps Doom III

your pick

It seems that a Ati 9800 Pro is better that a FX5900 and you can find then for around 150 Euro second hand. Maybe that is better that the FX.

Please advice

R9800Pro is very good, performance wise you'll be playing Doom 3 at HQ 12x7
