What 3D care are YOU using?
I upgraded my Geforce 4 Ti4200 64MB to a Radeon 9600 Pro 128 MB.
Let me say this, it was WELL worth the money*. The only hard-core** 3D accelerated game that I play is Battlefield 1942. Gawd dam, it made such a difference. I can now turn everything up to full detail and run the game smoothly without any frame drops. *I paid $173 for mine and now after 2-3 weeks it drops to $133. Dammit I'm pissed. Prices are according to Pricegrabber.com or Newegg.com **I know, BF1942 isn't the more hardcore card user since there are games such as Unreal 2, Quake 3, etc etc that are the games used for benchmarks. I did a page here on my website just to help you guys and gals out if you need to upgrade. |

the FX 5200 is about on par with a Geforce 3 not worth the money.
Oh I have a Geforce 4 Ti 4200 128MB and am planning to upgrade to either a Radeon 9700 or 9800.

Hercules version of the Radeon 9700 Pro. Been very pleased with it. It's my first rig that I actually put together myself. Its got a really wicked looking copper fan but it faces the down so you can't see it in my window.

When I bought my Radeon 9000 Pro 64meg card, the 9800 was just about to be released.
I paid $200 CAD for my card, and i'm quite happy with it. I can't afford to spend three or four hundred bucks on a new video card every few months. (although I'd love to be able to) |

This machine? GeForce 4 Ti 4600. Second PC? GeForce 3. Third? ATI Radeon 9700 All in Wonder.
About to purchase? Radeon 9800 AIW I'm something of a graphics whore.

GeForce 4 TI 4200 128 MB version, 4x AGP. I'm happy with it, even though I'll probably upgrade to a GeForce FX 5900 or Radeon 9800 Pro pretty soon.

I just purchase a 9600 at comp-usa for like $220 with 2 year warranty, when I get more money I think I may say it's broken and pay the difference... but the 9600 is VERY pleasing.... almost as good as a lady friend.... almost.

Radeon 8500. The original 64MB one. I got it right after it was released (luckily, it was released shortly before my birthday).
It is beginning to show its age a bit (especially in UT2k3), but I'll probably stick with it until HL2 comes out.
