[OT] Graphics card selection advise needed
Very off-topic, but I have already read enough benchmarks. I'd like
some real world advise.
I have a Radeon 8500 LE which I can return whithin a week.
I absolutely love the 2D- (aka desktop-) image quality. Much better
than my previous card. For better 3D-performance, alternatives are
ofcourse readily available.
For slightly more, I can take a Nvidia Geforce 4 4200. I am sure
that playing games and setting things up (both in Linux and on that
other system) would be much easier. Ati drivers are still not that
great.
However paying more money is always something to avoid. More
importantly I am not sure that Nvidia's current cards are much
better in 2D than they used to be. My previous card was a Geforce 2
MX and I have suffered eye (and perhaps brain) damage from using
that card too long. It's really that awful in high resolutions.
Is anyone using a Ti4200 card in 1600x1200 resolution? How does the
desktop look?
Bob
