Graphics Card Recommendation

[PhoenixMDM]

I want to get a new video card. It needs to be AGP, and at least 32mb, and needs to be able to play PS2 through my comp monitor. Is it even possible? I know with All-in-wonder cards, you can watch TV through ur comp, but can you play PS2 through it too?

i suggest the Radeon64mbDDR VIVO its the only card off the top of my head that games well and has video input unless you shell out 300+ for a geforce3 with video in or an 8500DV....

Yep I agree with Funnyperson1. A Radeon 64 DDR vivo is great choice for what you want, vivo and s-video out plus it is a pretty fast card to play all current games and it supports DX8. It is also very overclockable from its default of 198/198(meaning mem is 400)

I had mine to 240/490.

Good choice of card and drivers are fine for it.

It's perfect for what i'm looking for! I had no idea graphics cards did as much as this one does, geez. How can ya tell i've only bought cheap-o ones? :p

You can play the ps2 through it but I can tell you right now you wont like it.When I bought mine the first thing I did was try hooking the ps2 through it.The screen is to dark and fuzzy,you can adjust it a little but it doesnt come close as a regular tv.It makes some games almost unplayable when you cant even see certain things.

Funny I had seen a PS2 hooked up with the 64DDR and they had no problems with screen colour and darkness........

i had an N64 hooked up to my Rage Fury Pro....looked a helluva lot beter on my trinitron than it did on the 13inch monitor in my room....did have some fuzz but still was nicer...:p

heh, my parents won't allow me a TV in my room, and i wanna be able to listen to my stero and game at the same time (stero is in my room) so this will be a good solution it sounds. I got a 20" Dell monitor, so it'll be plenty big enough for me. i just hope my parents get the 70000000 hints i've dropped about needing one of these for christmas :D

oh yeah, my parents didnt allow tv in my room either, i didnt get recpetion just played N64 and watched VHS on it (one of those tv/vcr hybrids) they took that out too :(
