Guest Darth Evenios Posted November 16, 2001 Posted November 16, 2001 Hey its me again ;-). Ok i got the money so I am going with the Xtacy Geforce2 MX400 64MB. However I see from the specs it does not support DVD playback, my older Savage S4 8MB card does, but I do not watch DVD's that much anyways. I now see that Circut City offers the Radeon 7200 64MB card at the same price (assuming they are both in the same class) for the performance and stability which is the better deal? It looks like the Geforce2 has a faster clock speed.. DVD playback doesnt matter too much since i can just use my older card for that...but is the Radeon 7200 really any better than the Geforce 2 MX400 or would you say NO go for the Xtasy Geforce 2... as the Radeon is NOT a geforce (sniff). Also is it theoretically possible to UNDERCLOCK your PC say to slow it down to play older games and for testing purposes? I would assume this would be much safer than overclocking it... if so are there any good programs or free utilities that would do as such? Thanks.
Guest Darth Evenios Posted November 16, 2001 Posted November 16, 2001 It would be nice if someone would reply instead of just reading the forum and say nothing...
Guest Boba Rhett Posted November 16, 2001 Posted November 16, 2001 Well, I'd personally go for the 7200 but that's just my opinion. I like Radeons.
GB_StormTrooper Posted November 16, 2001 Posted November 16, 2001 me too, my cousin has one and it works good on high res games
Delphi's Clone Posted November 16, 2001 Posted November 16, 2001 hmm cough g- force buy cough for best prices go to http://www.pricewatch.com
darthfergie Posted November 16, 2001 Posted November 16, 2001 I'd take the Radeon over the other...they add more features to the pack...but if you just want a card then get the GeForce 2 card...
Guest Master Yoda Posted November 16, 2001 Posted November 16, 2001 Id go for the Radeon, I bought one (not the 7200 the Radeon 64MB DDR VIVO)and its is AWESOME.
Guest Boba Rhett Posted November 17, 2001 Posted November 17, 2001 This review was just posted at ign.com: http://pc.ign.com/hardware/340.html I say you should go for it.
Guest xwing guy Posted November 17, 2001 Posted November 17, 2001 I have a Geforce 2 and they're good but Radeon is better from what I've heard.
Guest Darth Evenios Posted November 19, 2001 Posted November 19, 2001 Well great NOW you tell me :-p oh well... actually though the radeon 7200 is like AGP and i dont think I have a free AGP slot so oh well :-p
Guest Kudar Posted November 19, 2001 Posted November 19, 2001 But you would have a free AGP slot if you remove your current graphics card, and if it's not already in an AGP slot then you must have your AGP slot free - either that or you don't have one. There shouldn't really be anything else in an AGP slot seeing as how it's Accelerated Graphics Port
