Can anyone reccomend me a decent Graphics card?
the "nVidia Savealittlemore 250"
dunno, what do you want it for? or do you just want a graphics card?
Just want something a little better than the one I have now, it's not a case of saving a little more, I have plenty of savings thanks very much. [-X
might it be an idea to let us know what you've got now?
if you've got lots of savings, dont be so skingey on a graphics card! :D
I currently have an Nvidia Quadro2 32MB AGP 4X
The system is a P4 3.06GHz 1Gig PC800 RDRAM.
I would also prefer a card WITHOUT a fan :? and also with a DVI out for my UltraSharp TFT and maybe my 32" LCD TV ;)
Geforce4 FX5200 has tv out [s-video and rca type]and is available without a fan. It was my last card and bought it for £46 from a local pc shop.
edit: thats a 128meg card too, with the fast memory compared to 256 models.
I've been looking intot his also phill.
these are ones I came up with
XFX GeForce FX5500 256MB DDR AGP 8x DVI/TV-Out - Retail Box
XFX GeForce FX5200 256MB DDR, AGP8x, DVI, TV-Out - Retail box
Sapphire ATI Radeon 9250 128MB Ultra Fast 128bit DDR AGPx8 TV-Out
Sapphire ATI Radeon 9250 256MB 128bit DDR AGP TV-Out DVI-I Retail Box
Connect3d ATI Radeon 9250 256MB DDR AGP DVI TV-Out Retail Box
Cheers Vib's, i'll look into those.
Why do you want one without a fan?
i'd personally go for one of the 9250's
at my old job we ran tests on the 9250's and the fx5200 and the 9200's bench marks were far higher
saying that this was a few months ago, they may have improved.
erm... noise?Quote:

you'll probably find you wont be able to hear the VGA fan over the noise from the CPU fan anyway.
i cant with my 9600 pro
It won't be any louder than the one in the PSTwoQuote:
