Video card

djsusm · 10-08-2003, 10:53 PM

Hi,

I'm on the lookout for a new video card, and was wondering of anyone has advice on any particular one. What I'm looking for is in the $100 - $150 price range (but cheaper that that is of course great!). 8X AGP - similar to the ATI Radeon 9500 Pro.

I'd really like the 9800, but i'm not willing to drop more than $200 on the card right now.

also, what do you make of this?

one of the customer reviews says that its not really an 9800 card. Does that seem right?

Thanks!

It's not actually a TRUE Radeon 9800 card; half of the rendering pipelines of the 9800 are disabled in the 9800SE, which cuts fill rates drastically.
