Poll: Best Bang For Your Buck?

[x20dragon]

Out of all the video cards out there, which one would you consider the "best?" Take into consideration price, overclockability, and the actual specs on the card. I'm thinking of buying a new card myself (my budget is $200) and I'd love to hear your opinions.

Geforce 2 Ultra, best bang for $200

[Da Whip]

Pinky hit the nail on the head. GF2 ULTRA for $200 is the best out, it even beats the GF3 in some instances.

Radeon 64 Meg DDr Vivo.At less than 149 it by far has to be #1 in value.

I am at this moment surfing the web on a 36 inch color T.V {800x600}Ya cant beat this Vivo and just 5 minutes ago I played a movie I burned to a cdrw on my my T.V.


Great frame rates awsom dvd play back,Video recording and t.v out support make this the card to HAVE.

It all depends on what you want to do. If you're a hardcore gamer, you'll want the Ultra, it's faster. If you're the video editing freak, you'll want the Radeon VIVO.

My vote is for the GTS. You can OC it to somewhat-near-Ultra levels, and save almost $100 in the process.

Im a hard core gamer with the Radeon 64mb ddr. I like the better picture quality and it runs better then the ultra in 32bit and higher res. But the ultra does have its better points. Like raw power to radeons elegant software and better performance in 16bit and lower res. But I would rate them the same. Then again the Radeon is a little cheeper.:D

U lucky... Here in finland U couldnt get an Ultra for $250. The Pro cards are right under $200. And the Hercules Kyro2 comes in at $170. With our taxing (some 30% for comp. parts) U can imagine how much the AMD prize cuts help our prizes...

How much bang! do you need?

The GeF2 Ultra is probably your best choice to your level of budget. If you are willing to save a little more, GeF3's are now under $300.......
