* Graphics cards.

Post by Oz »

post your graphics cards' specs here.

MINE:
1998 Rage 128 Pro AGP

it sucks. no dvd support, so when i wanna watch LOTR: the fellowship, which is a good movie, whatever you think, it looks like crap! stupid software decoder!

well, i saw a geforce 2 ultra for $50 a few days ago, told my dad, and he said no. he can be really mean to me sometimes.

wait, according to my tower, it's an 3D S3 ProSavage 8 (keep in mind, I have no idea what any of this means).

I'm setting my hopes low, though.....I just want a GeForce 2 Ti

Anything with MX in the model number by Nvidia sucks. I got the 9000 ATI new for $69 shipped and it has dx 8.1 all in hardware (unlike the gf4mx and gf2).

There are faster cards but for the features and money spent the 9000 was a good deal.

nVIDIA GeForce 2 MX400
64MB

It's BIOS sucks. It keeps restarting my computer when I run some programs (like InstallShield... I can't even install many programs!!!)
But it's new so I'm not getting rid of it in a hurry.

In my main box I have a Geforce 4200 Ti 128 mb
I also have a geforce 4 460mx 64 meg it my networked computer.

In my dos only box I have a ATI Mach 64 2meg PCI.

im not too sure what is in my computer at home cause it was a prebuilt computer and opening it up will void the warrenty (dammit, i REALLY wanna open it too). I know its a 32 MB tho (my only fear is that the guy who sold us the computer at Futureshop was lying. He told us that it wasn't intergrated, but i have the worst feeling that he didn't even know what integrated ment :S . I do have an ATI RAGE 128 16mb at home in its box never been used (well, i installed it and my old computer wasnt powerful enough to run it so i took it out again) but technically its brand new. It DOES have DVD capabilities, but im not sure how good they are since i've never used it b4.

read the readme that came with the beta. It requires an ati or nvidia 3d card I bet, and a fairly new one.

S3 is the company that made the video card or just the GPU
ProSavage 8 is the chipset that S3 or someone else made (Anyone can make a chipset and call it whatever they want)
3D means it has special 3-D support that old video cards don't have.

I'm using a Radeon 9000LE 64 MB AGP and, er, this is my first PC so I haven't got anything to compare it with. It seems okay most of the time anyway. First post!
