My main Christmas gift this year will be a video card, as on my current rig I am using a 32MB Hercules 3DProphet 4000XT PCI, which is obviously terribly slow and obsolete.
My rig is an Epox 8K5A3+, XP1700+ T-Bred (should have it at 2Ghz when I get my planned watercooling setup up and running), 256MB Mushkin PC-3200 (considering upgrading to 512MB PC-3500). I have several options (listed below), which one of these cards would offer the best performance on this setup? for the settings I play at (1024x768, aniso & AA)?
(I'm a Best Buy employee so I get everything at cost + 5%)
ATI Radeon 9700 Pro - $326 (w/ store discount)
(BFG Tech) Asylum Ti4200 128MB- $199 retail (should be around $140 w/ my discount), -$50 instant rebate, -$55 mail-in rebate= $35 :eek:
Asylum Ti4600 128MB- $283 (w/ store discount)
TIA
