[SoNgOkO]

I have an old V3 2000 and almost every new game doesnt support it. So i need to buy a GFX card. But there is another prob. I come from Slovenia and the GFX cards are more expensive here, so i included a pricelist from the best PC hardware shop in Slovenia. I will need the GFX card mostlly 4 gameing.

1$ =230,17 SIT ( slovenian money )
I can spent about 50000 SIT = 220 $

The best card on this list under your limit would be the Innovision gf4 ti4200 64mb. But surely someone on this board could order a card from the USA and mail it to you. This particular card is about 34090 SIT here. And for about 23000 SIT you could get an ATI 8500.

But the benefit of doing this would all depend on how much shipping would cost, and other possible hassles.

I can lookup an estimate but need to know your postal code in Slovenia.

No. the best card in the list that he can afford himself is the Leadtek TI4200.

 

[advanR]

hmph, must have missed it under the ostala header. However, I dont know if the $20 difference is worth it. One may OC better, otherwise they are the exact same card.

 

[Ridgod]

Hmmm... not just the OC ability, the Leadtek has also great 2D quality.

 

[advanR]

How? as i understand they are all the same. maybe im wrong.

what he said. that's the one you want!!!! i have a evga 4200 128 mb and it's running (oc'd) FASTER than a 4600 does.

How in the world does an evga 4200 compare to you suggesting a leadtek over an innovation card?

 

[Ridgod]

How? as i understand they are all the same. maybe im wrong.

You are wrong, the GPU is the same- but any company puts filters on the card (which effects the 2D quality).

 

[advanR]

ok thanks for correcting me

 

[SoNgOkO]

I can lookup an estimate but need to know your postal code in Slovenia.

The postla code here is 4275

 

[Tracert]

If I was you, my choices would be the following,

1. INNO GF4 Ti4200 128MB DVI/Tvout 57960

2. LEADTEK GF4 Ti4200 64MB Tvout 52200

3. INNO GF4 Ti4200 64MB DVI/TVout 47880

4. INNO GF3 Ti200 64MB DDR Tvout 35880

5. INNO GF4 MX440 64MB DDR Tvout 28680

Depending on what I could do for cost.

 

[advanR]

Well, fedex doesnt do ground shipments to there, and an express shipment would cost about $100 USD. Ouch, I would just buy a card from your local shop.

Suprised to see 3D Labs on your list.

Do NOT get the "3D LABS OXYGEN VX1 32MB AGP" They have a tendency of going bad. The vga connector is flimsy.

I just mean that you should rule out the Oxygen VX1. Get one of the Geforce cards that these other gentlemen suggest.
