i am thinking of getting a new card.... just a hard choice as to which one... i am thinking a 9800 pro, found a few for around $200. would this be my best choice at the time? how much faster is it than the 9600 pro or 9600XT? would something from Nvida be a better choice? say 5900XT? i found a few for around the $200 mark.... any others i should be looking at? i want to stay under about $200 and i do not do THAT much gameing... just now and then so bang for the buck is more important than performance. Would a 9800 pro play doom 3 ok? im guessing my ti4200 would not be so smooth and i think it is the reason i cant play a game at all on my computer right now, GTA Vice city and DF black hawk down both error as soon as you click on it Motocross maddness 2 and monster truck maddness still work fine though .
Should I be looking for 256MB? would i be better off to spend a little extra for it? or would a 128MB card be fine? I know Doom 3 ( which i hope to own some day ) seems to need quite a bit of memory, but i have been told the 256mb cards are slower than 128?
