Thread: Which one should I buy?

  1. #1

    Question Which one should I buy?

    I looked at some cards, and found out that the best videocard from 100$ to 150$ (thats the max I can spend) would be:

    MSI: GeForce FX-52000TD 128 Mo
    Asus: V9520 GeForce FX-5200 Magic 128 Mo
    V9520 GeForce FX-5200 TD 128 Mo

    I would chose the third one: V9520 GeForce FX-5200 TD 128 Mo

    anyone agrees with me? or some of the 2 two`s is better?

    or if you know other better cards from 100 to 150 (150$ with taxes and everything though) then let me know.


    Thanx.

    How about NOT a geforce 5200? Those cards are horrible. In that price range, you can go for a Radeon 9600 XT, a MUCH better card: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...153-011&depa=0

    Another vote for the Radeon.

    I've seen and had more problems with 5200's than I have with any other video cards.
