Well, since I got my new system, a 64mb agp4x video. Unfortunatly it's onboard but i can pop a new card in any time I want.
Saw GL in operation on quake2 for the first time the other day and was so thouroughly unimpressed that I immediatly switched it back to software mode. GODDAMIT!, what do people see in GL, it's a bunch of stupid blending my fucking supernintendo emulator could do!
Where has the world gone (wait a minute, maybe the predictions about the end of the world were true...)

First card : Graphics Blaster Riva TNT 16 mega SDRAM (AGP).
Second card : 3dfx Voodoo 3 2000 (AGP)
Now : 3D Blaster GeForce 2 GTS, 32 mega ram DDR, from Creative. All the games run well, but I have problems with Quake 3 (Vsync problems/scanlines). I use the NVidia drivers beta 7.78. Still no changes for Quake 3.

Well, at least you can RUN the game at all. I don't think the game's going to run when it founds out I don't have vertex/pixel shaders. :)

Doh, that sucks. =(
Of course, by the time it ships, Geforce 3 Pro or whatever will probably be a reasonable price, which is a damn good thing cuz the game'll most likely scream at me for having "only" 32mb on my card, or Win XP (Xtra Puffy) will just eat everything up. =P

Yeah, that's a real problem. XP is a mem hog, as you can see by looking at the sshots. Now, the surface (texture) storage system in OpenGL/DirectX is LAME. That means everytime you quit from a exclusive game (runs in fullscreen), XP will have to re-load all those pics. I can already picture myself the noise my HD will make...
What's the deal of making ultra-fancy GUIs anyway? I don't know you people, but every program I run, I run it at fullscreen/maximized. I have *NO* intention to stare at the hurting blue/green color scheme...

Well I have something like 20 video cards around here but the best one I have is a RivaTNT2 Ultra 32MB thing. I hate it now that I found out it won't play GLQuake or GLHexen2 and they won't add support for those games, those are about the only games I use the 3D acceleration for anyways.

It IS DAMN Good.
Plays Jdoom, Doom Legacy, Quake 3 Arena, GLQuake, JHeretic, American Mgee's Alice, BattleZone Looks Incredible with it (first one) Only problem is it crashes a fair bit rendering it unplayable.

I can't upgrade it due to the measurements of this Gateway motherboard. Damn.
Who knows what I'll put in my gaming rig when I start assembling it. I'm thinking GeForce 3 MX. =)

For your average gamer I would suggest a voodoo 3 3500 or 3000, but if want some serious power get rid of that piece of crap card you have now and get a geforce 2.. You maybe able to run Glegacy at a decent Frame Rate with your card, but load up a far more graphical complex game and your in for a world of hurt.. I have a Voodoo 3 2000 pci in a socket 7 System..
You can hit my duck bitch becuase I will plug your ass with him! His has plugged over 5000 newbie asses including several repeat customers since he was brought in from the projects. The pond complex. Look fer the duck with the white fur coat and the pimp kane..

Hercules 3D Prophet II GTS
(GeForce 2 GTS 32Mb)
One picece of advice for everybody: if you're gonna buy a Ge2 MX you might as well as get the GeForce 2 Ultra in another few months when prices drop.
Now I realize that the MX is affordable, but I don't think it's the best thing to buy a watered down version of the GeForce 2 GTS when the top of the line Ge2 Ultra will become more affordable in the not too distant future.
And for those people who have the GTS--all you have to do is rewire two certain resistors on your board and voila! you have a card that performs like the Ge2 Ultra. Gotta love it. =)

Actually, it's not that bad. I have a Riva TNT2 M64 in combination with a voodoo2... Ok ok, it's not a geforce3, but it'll do for a while.
It was meant as a joke. =P

Take my advice and wait for the GeForce3 prices to come down later this year, also the ram quality will be better.
If you think you r gonna play Doom3 on the video cards you have now, take your head out of ya ass:)
