>$80 video card

[dude_drew]

What video card can I get for under $80? I can't afford nothin over that, so don't tell me to save more (I can't). I don't care if its Nvidia, or Ati. I want a 4x, but I could go faster. I also would prefer it to be 128MB.

[Mr. Chambers]

i'd probably have to say either a ati 8500 or nvidia 4200ti, and overclock them if at all possible... both can be had for around $80 nowadays..

[Overclocker550]

ti4200 128mb will cost about $80 but those suck at overclocking, ram wise. a 64mb is cheaper and ocs much more, I speak from experience!

[mtnbikerjerry]

There are some Ti 4200's with 128mb that can clock up good, MSI makes a great card, and so does Asus for the Ti4200.

If you can still find an albatron turbo ti4200, not sure if it is cheap still. Check around.

[Damian]

The albatron turbo will not cost $80. It is, after all, a ti4200 mounted on a ti4600 PCB with fairly expensive BGA RAM.

But yeah, get a ti4200, preferrably a 128mb. By the way, AGP4x and AGP8x make almost no difference at all.

[Overclocker550]

I have tried even the albatron ti4200 128mb and that thing did 300/525 so beware! not a turbro but come on! my abit siluro did 290/600 so maybe you should grab that one even though its 64mb. Ive seen people get it to 320/640 and they eat ti4600s!

that must be a sight to see a graphics card eat another.

[Speed_Mechanic2]

If you just want a card and nothing bundled with it, wait for NewEgg to put up a GeForce4 4800 or 4200 (8X) 128MB refurb.

:D nice one! didnt expect that one =P

[Overclocker550]

why the cry face on the xp1700? bad overclocker? as for your 3dmarks, you need to overclock everything. I get near 15k and will break 15k once my ram comes

[creepy]

ti200 is great for under 80....Im running one clocked at 275/515 w/ stock mem cooling and a crystal orb...Itll run cs at a constant 99-100fps

[Overclocker550]

theres no way a ti200 core can do 275 without serious cooling, sorry. my last one did 220 core and my chaintech did 250

Gainward golden sample my friend.....end of story

[creepy]

& i have some serious airflow

[Jawsome]

I'm gonna have to agree with overclocker5-hehehe. Sorry, I couldn't hold a straight face.

[creepy]

Then agree with him. I could careless what you people think.

[CamH]

Why don't you guys believe him? Overclocker550 had a Ti200 going at 250. Creepy not only had a golden sample, but some good airflow.

[creepy]

Glad to see someone has some sense.

[Jawsome]

it was a JOKE, notice how stopped short and laughed at the thought of agreeing with him.

Hmm... :cry: Face because look at the stepping.. t-bred A LOL.. riunning at 1800mhz right now tho =) Its actually running cooler than my old t-bred B at same speed... but that could be because Im using a slightly better case with side case fan.

[Overclocker550]

you can get an xp2100 tbred B for like $70 and watch 14k become yours :)

[dude_drew]

i got a saphire 9100.

[Overclocker550]

how much did that cost you? keep in mind that thing is about as good as a ti200 but better IQ though........
