Is THIS a good video card for playing halo?

i just saved up enough money and if anyone knows me they know i have the worst fukin card in the world

i know this is off topic but if i can get this this may mean that i can use my new log mod...

Its one of the worst card available on the market. the 256mb edition use very slow 64bit ram.


In fact i think its the slowest card on the market...

Your 10x better with a ti-4200 or a Radeon 9600pro or xt....


BTW :what card do you have now?

nvidia Gforce 4

dont get any of the geforce 4 cards as they dont support dx9 and not everything will work(effects) so it will look like those bland screenshots.

what one should i get? anyone have a link? i have 96 dollars

you arent going to be able to upgrade with only 96 dollars. what you get is pretty much the same thing you have now. a dx8.1 card. in order to display a decent picture you need a card capable of dx9 graphics. your cheapest bet would probebly the radeon 9500 64 megabyte gfx card. that card is approxemtly 125 dollars. i suppose you can get the 5200 but the 9500 is a way suporior card and you will get aot more fps.

noooooo...get the ATI Radeon 9800 XT...or the 9600 Pro..u will get supirior frame rates compares to the pice of shit card u wanted..

he has 96 dollars.

Never get the Geforce 4 cards I havve 1 and my graphics suck.

GeForce FX 5200 128 mb edition. Better than Intel anyday. Supports DX9 and T&L. Actually, you need $120 up front but I beleive there is a $20 discount.

Very good beastman, you know your stuff. Don't be suckered into buying an fx5200! Even though they support dx9 they can't run in that mode without having an unplayable framerate. Go with the 9600 hands down. You will be glad you did.

DO NOT GET AN NVIDIA unless its there top like 4 models, even then the ati's blow it away, and PLEASE dont get the 5200 its insanly bad, my friend got it and its hidious so just watch out for it, like unreal he gets less then 20 fps

would you say this is a good cheap card? Da Card

NO! That is just a repackeged(sp?) and renamed Geforce 4mx. That is a horrible choice.

then what would you reccomend for a canadian kid who has just under 200 dollars... that has 128 mb

LMFAO those cards are worse than geforce 3. thats worse less than what i can find for 5 bucks. is it possible for you to get a radeon card anything above the 9200 series are great.

depending on the shippin(if i order online) and the price(depending on how much after i pay my dues for the papers(carrier=me))

try a radeon 9600 SE... I dont actually have one, but I hear that they're the best deal for the bucks (in terms of gpx cards in general)...

anyone actually know how good/bad this card is? also, I think that on that site, it's used... if you dont want it used, get it at tigerdirect... tho its 20 bucks more expensive there...
