Actually, a geforce ti4200 is a much better choice than a gf4mx, fx5200 or radeon 9200.

a fx5200 is supposed to be dx9 compatable. and a geforce mx4xx is equal to that of a gefore2

whether you notice it or not a ti4200 does not support dx9 so you do lose some visual eye candy per say.

its going to be hard to notice actual quality after a certain point, ull notice like on straight lines or edges if ur moving in or away from them or left and right ull see that jaggedness move aross it on better cards thats less and less, and also like u said ull get more fps, u can run more smoothly on higher resolution, and often experence less frame loss or "lag", not in the sense that everyone is used to but more of skipping frames and not getting a smooth game.

Hey, I have the ATI Radeon 9200 and Halo looks great and eveything, but sometimes (alot of the time) when I join a game or leave a game (hell, even when Im in the game) My computer restarts. Should I get a new card? I have about 330 bucks, but Im betting I need around 500 bucks for a card that will let me play halo with no errors or inturuptions.
Could someone help me out?

definately crap
dont even waste ur money

Beastman · Post by **Beastman** » Tue Mar 02, 2004 7:05 pm

if u want to get a new card thats fine, but u dont need 500 dollars for a amazing vid card, like i have a 9800pro 256 ultimate and it works flawlessly, but if u want to save another 20 bucks or whatever it is get the 9800xt, its the best gaming card thats on the market, its 420 at most places, newegg.com is a good place to buy computer parts.

Yea but, whats the difference between them? I want Halo to look perfect and run perfect.

then get a 9600 series if you need the money to count. my 9600 pro can run everything at 1024x768 (stupid monitor) just fine...
