Best 128 MB card?

rookei1 · Post by **rookei1** » 02 Apr 2003, 12:17

Ive currently got a GForce 2 Pro 64MB. Is it worth upgrading to a 128 MB card and if so which is the best for under R3500? Im looking at the Sparkle SP7200T4 GeForce 4 4400 128Mb. What is it like?

How much is the 4400 Ti gonna cost you?
 I would rather get the Ti4800 its far more value for money its under 3g´s!
 I got the MSI ti4200 for 2500 its a great little card!
 If you shop around I`m sure you`ll pick a 9700pro for 3500 bucks!

yeah i had a sparkle gf4 ti4200 and it was ok but rather go to regality or rectron and get leadtek they are great it took my 3d mark points up by 1500 gr8
 id still like a 9700pro but it costs a fortune <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_frown.gif">

The Radeon 9700 does cost alot, i would personally go with a geforce fx if i had that kinda money or the lower 4800 which is an amazing card and wont cost you a months worth of food

I managed to find it for R3477. I saw a GeForce 4 128 mg for R799. Do you thinks that there somthing dodgy about this? The ad didnt show a name maker.

I found a leadtek winfast A280 for +-R4200 at regality. Do you know a cheaper place? I think a 9700 is definatly out of my league though. Its too expensive!!
 
 Does the comany that makes the card really make a difference? Like Gigabyte and Leadtek?

 Is it the same card? Perhaps not the chaintech one. You should check the bundle it comes with. I can get the OEM cards for much cheaper if you prefer them. IMHO the OEM cards are a bit on the lacking side, so thats why I stick with the brand names and know that I don´t get any comebacks. <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif">
