Submerge Posted January 27, 2002 My brother FINALLY got a 3D card for his computer. A 64 MB Geforce2. As I said before. Life is good. I can finally play System Shock 2. And Darkstone, and all the other games that I foolishlky purchased that requires a 3D card. 0 Share this post Link to post

pritch Posted January 27, 2002 I estimate I'll be ready to buy my new machine in 6 months. By then, a G3 Ti500 should be a lot more reasonably priced.. 0 Share this post Link to post
Fredrik Posted January 27, 2002 A 64mb GF2 is an excellent buy. They're very cheap and perfectly enough for any game of today unless you *need* 240fps in 2048x1536. 0 Share this post Link to post
Shaviro Posted January 27, 2002 I estimate I'll be ready to buy my new machine in 6 months. By then, a G3 Ti500 should be a lot more reasonably priced.. I'll buy a new gfx card soon. It will probably be the Radeon 3 or GF4 when they get released. 0 Share this post Link to post
Submerge Posted January 27, 2002 Well, a GF2 is an enormous hell of a lot better than nothing. I really don't see the reason you need to go out and buy a new 3D card when your current one is excellent already. Good god! ONI! I forgot than I can get ONI now! Hurrah! 0 Share this post Link to post

Crendowing Posted January 27, 2002 What I said. You have to wait if you want something good for DOOM3 anyway... yes. Let's hope we won't wait too long :)I actually hope it doesn't come out until the speculated date (2003). By then, I'll have enough to buy both the game and whatever graphics card I need. 0 Share this post Link to post
Zaldron Posted January 27, 2002 ...unless you *need* 240fps in 2048x1536.Zaldron come to mind... Goddamnit, enough with the perfectionist crap. I don't even know where that came from. For God's sake I recently moved from a FUCKING VooDoo1/TNT2 to a GF2. I wish I could buy as many upgrades as I want. That would make my life a lot easier. :P I've been playing games at 10 fps running under 640x480 for too fucking long. Give me a break... 0 Share this post Link to post
Crendowing Posted January 27, 2002 Goddamnit, enough with the perfectionist crap. I don't even know where that came from.Would the [sarcasm][/sarcasm] tags have helped? Besides...I'm on the same side as you. I guess I just feel left out because I don't have money and nowhere near the capabilities that the rest you elite DOOMers (except maybe Sephiroth :) have. Sorry to piss you off, really. 0 Share this post Link to post

Sephiroth Posted January 27, 2002 yea i got a geforce 2 a wile back. but i got mine for a bit under $100. it is a great card and so was the TNT2 i had before it. however i manly got it for 3 reasons. high power GPU, full screen anti-alazing(damn cant spell that)and 32mb ram over my old 8. however i used the TNT to replace a worthless trident AGP card in my grandmothers PC. 0 Share this post Link to post
pritch Posted January 27, 2002 well I am a poor student, no money, just like the rest of us in England, have to pay tuition fees now, or get a loan. So I am stuck with a P2 Celery 333, 64MB RAM, and most of all, an 8MB ATI RAGE card... What Zaldron said about 640x480 at 10fps is actually spot on for me. 0 Share this post Link to post

I'm talking about before Jon got the card, that is. 0 Share this post Link to post
