Budget Video Card

I'm surprised you have all missed the obvious reply on this: For $110, you can buy either a V5 or GeForce 2 32MB DDR brand new, off pricewatch. Either one has substantial advantages over the cards listed so far- I'd note the GTS is waaaaaayyyyyy faster than an LE or MX. I would buy a GeForce...

ATI has no pity..for noble Rendition, Diamond, #9, S3, Bitboyz..

I was indeed kidding- the post is a parody of the wacky "nVidia has no pitty for fallen warrior 3dfx" which seems to beg the questions: 1. Do business competitors mourn one another's loss? 2. Can video card manufacturers be considered "valiant warriors"? Are Bitboyz even a...

anouther Voodoo zelot gone,well almost.....

"wry" and sarcastic" is probably closer to it than defensive- I could give a rip about nVidia. It just blows my wheels when I see these "3dfx sux! My GeForce Ultra blows away the POS V3-2000 I just tried!" type posts. Anyway, no offense Mykex, but you'll need some...

Mykex: You are a goof. Yet another zealot buys a bargain basement, crippled MX and proclaims,"nVidia suxors! I have one! I know!" Sigh. http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.html?i=1453&p=5 LOL. There's your MX400, it's lowly 10X7X32 score almost doubled by a regular GTS 64, and all...

You don't know Jack

Booyah! Time to pay the Boogak, you old school 3dfx zombie cracker! Looks to me like he filled your bill with a Swiss Army knife nVidia card, send him $160!

You don't know Jack

LOL - There's no replacement for the V3, that's for sure. Bold offer- everyone knows there are no nVidia cards with tv tuners, box of inputs, etc.. I'll make a similar offer- anyone who can find me a pair of underwear that make my dick 12" long at rest, I'll buy them a pair too! ENjoy...

Nvidia Nas No Pitty...for a fallen warrior Voodoo

LOL- 3dfx vs nVidia:The Neverending Story Jumpman, you are living in some fantasy world where business competitors help one another and share. Sorry buddy- corporation has one goal only- make profit for shareholders. The Mr. Rogers concepts are not present in the business world.

Radeon 64 DDr -Engineering Sample

AFAIK all the "engineering sample" 64MB cards had the 6ns, 166MHz DDR- the retail cards originally had 5.5ns 183MHz RAM

Best Geforce2 Pro card

Bah on that Starforce at newegg. 5.5ns RAM is not even a real pro. The original pro spec had 5ns RAM, running at 200/400MHz default. This is more overclockable than these new "pseudo pros", and much more likely to achieve near Ultra levels of performance.

HELP!!!! GEFORCE2 PRO PROBLEM!

Hmmm, this is trying to remember something from waaaayyyy back, but I thought vsynch tries to synchronize game frames to screen refresh rate? I.E. Refresh rate @ 75 Hz (75 cycles/sec?) FPS is capped at 75, usually ends up less. So game frame is matched with screen redraw. Somebody confirm or...

V5 or GF2 GTS?

LOL- Dave, you 3dfx engineers screwed up! The lowly MX besting the v5?! Heehee, I have to agree with you this is not true. Original poster- I would say the GTS is more "future proof" in that nVidia is still making drivers, which may address game incompatibility and performance issues...

Anyone have a Jeronimo Pro video card by Appian??

The name is non-politically correct, I would not buy it. The noble heritage of Jeronimo must not be degraded by association with a vga, only casinos. Buy a Voodoo 5 instead, Haitiian voodoo practicioners have less clout with the political correctness police.
