hi

justwanted to get some opinions on what is a good video card to get for under about the $80 mark AUS. im guessing thats about $50 US money. I think i could get a Gigabyte 128mb Geforce 4 MX 4000 for $75. is that cheap and is that a good video card. it would mainly be for playing the latest games. basically im a little worried that my 32mb intergrated video card wont be able to take the sims 2, as the processor is only 1.3GHZ and i have 224mb ram (32mb taken for the vid card)

any opinions would be great

thanx

you wanna get a card for 50$ and play the latest games, you gotta be kiding. no card around 50$ will play latest games, for around 80 or 90 you can get geforce 4 ti 4200 and its a pretty good card but will not be too good for playing newest games.

If you are really serious about latest games, your budget is very frugal regarding video cards. At the same time spending $400 on a card for a recreational game is IMO a bit outlandish.

If your are willing to take the chance, check out Newegg's refurb section for the latest video card deals.

I agree with both of these guys. You can't play video games with a cheap graphic card. Invest for an ATI.

a Geforce 4 mx4000 will most likely run sims 2, but i would go with a TI4200, it can run doom 3 on high 1024x768 30-40fps and i have seen it as low as 60$ american

In most of the comparisons I've seen, the MX4000 is at the bottom of the pile
