Choosing a graphics card .Need help.

[harpoon]

I have an AMD athlon processor,2 GHZ,256 DDR ram,20 GB hard disk; for a long time I have been speculating on buying a graphics card but actually never ended buying up one.Can you please suggest a decent graphics card ( can play half life II,max payne II,if possible doom III, etc),within a budget of Rs.1500 - Rs.2000/-.[/quote]

On that budget, you wont get a decent card. even the low - end nvidia FX5200 is around 2500..

 

[choudang]

ya.... 5200FX will cost you 2100~, just increase your budget.. and try to get 6 series or 5700FX.

Just go for XFX 5200 128MB 64bit
Rs 1850

Same card ASUS brand with 256MB 128bit costs
Rs 2800

go for XFX 5200
It will rock u for some days.Then throw it in dust bin.

also try XFX 6200 128MB 64bit
Rs 3500

Always get 128Bit cards.

its all money honey and entry level starts at 6k onwards . so forget it . dont buy some stupid card and throw it after a few hours !

^^^
well, entry level starts at the 6200

and the XFX geforce 6200 - 256mb comes for 3.5k

These will become worthless within next 12 months or so...
(Or, should I get a gaming console instead, can't keep pace with nVidia...!!! )

Hmm.....If you can go a bit higher, the old Radeon 9600's (which have good performance) should still be available for about the same price as GeForce 6200....~Unsure~

 

[kalpik]

If going for nVidia (which u should!), i would suggest u go for gainward cards.. they are the best..

 

[spikygv]

buddy , either incrwease ur budget or dont buy !!

no point in wasting money buying a low end card and being unstaisfied .
