Doggie Fizzle Posted July 1, 2003 Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 I have a GeForce4 MX440... Would a Radeon 9000 Pro actually be an upgrade? How about a 9500 (non-Pro)? I wanna upgrade, but I'm cheap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruceleeon Posted July 1, 2003 Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 i would wait a little bit... with the 256mb cards released the lower end cards are coming down in price. 9000 pro is a good card.. but from what im reading 9500pro is the way to go... .13 and highly overclockable.... 5200's (like the mx) are DX 9 and cheap. but i would still wait.

Rbreb13 Posted July 1, 2003 Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 All Nvidia's MX cards suck always will! 9000 Pro or if ya can save a bit the 9500 Pro. Don't get a non Pro model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[TMX]EdMaxx Posted July 1, 2003 Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 I had a GF4 MX440, it was okay. I wouldn't say it sucked, just because it was an MX. I love my GF4 Ti4200 8X AGP 128MB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsgolfman Posted July 1, 2003 Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 I had the MX card also. Compared to my 9500 PRO, it was very weak. Still, it was better than onboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggie Fizzle Posted July 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 Thaks guys... I just hate spending over $100 on a video card... thats my arbitrary ceiling. The 9000 Pro with 128MB is like $62 at CompGeeks, and I think the the 9500 Pro with 128MB is close to $100 now... Gotta keep looking!

Doggie Fizzle Posted July 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 Well yeah, video cards may be the hardest thing to get for free... thats why I may buy one... The games I play really wouldn't matter to me to have the very top of the line gpu... I know the big buck video cards are killer, but a waste of money for me... I think I have alot of nice hardware, but my vidoe card is definitely the weakest link... I have a GeForce2 Ti here that nearly outbenches my MX440...
