I rarely post here, but when I need really good advise, I've always found Overclockers.com forums incredibly helpful.
Right now I have a 3D Prophet Geforce256 32MB SDR w/ TV-out. It's showing its age, and I'm looking at my possible options for upgrading my video card. My budget is tight, and in fact, I have no clue what my final budget is. I've got $90 right now, but I can come up with more, and I'm looking to make as big a step up as possible for the lest amount of $$. I've been looking around at Geforce 2 Pro video cards, and I found a MSI StarForce Pro (Geforce 2 Pro 64MB w/TV-out) online for $145 + S&H. What would you recommend? Judging from my system specs (http://home.maine.rr.com/gamelord/newpc.htm), would I be just as well off with a 32mb Geforce 2 GTS, which I can get for $100?
A few notes:
I am one of the few ppl on this planet who actually use the TV-out of a card, and I would prefer that any new card I got had this feature.
I play a ton of games, mostly fps, including Tribes 2, Q3, HL, and UT.
