Jerec Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 good 3dcards under 100 bucks? man, a dream would come true...but spend a bit more and get a geforce 3 ti200(msi, for example...pricewatch says 143$)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w2000 Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 It will work on your computer. I recommend to anyone that doesn't have a lot of money and a voodoo 3 card to get that card cause it will do wonders for your computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevanBates Posted March 31, 2002 Author Share Posted March 31, 2002 what card is good? The vodoo 3? or the geforce 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 Welcome to the forums, people. Here...*hands each a chocolate Jedi Medallion* Okay, I've got an Ahtlon T-Bird 850Mhz with 256Mb SDRAM, and a GeForce 2 GTS 32Mb DDR. I can run the game at 1024x768 in 32-bit with high settings...as long as I don't turn on volumetric shadows. It does skip the odd frame now and then, and it ran much smoother on 16-bit. If you only have 128Mb of RAM, that might mean you have to lower some of the texture settings. ChangKhan[RAVEN] has indicated that 512Mb of RAM will improve game performance when running on higher settings. Your processor is fine, but you might want to consider upgrading the RAM in the near future, as well as getting a GeForce 2 or higher graphics accelerator card.

KevanBates Posted April 1, 2002 Author Share Posted April 1, 2002 thanks! BTW i will be getting a geForce2 64 mb, and maybe a 256 upgrade. Will a modified geforce be better than a regular one? heres the link to the modified one http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005QFYO/qid=1017612705/sr=1-2/102-9045337-3437730 THANK YOU!

MontyPython Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 Geforce2 mx400 64mb is not the same as Geforce2 GTS 64mb. Geforce 2 mx400's 64mb ram is SDR where the ram on GTS is DDR. SDR is slower than DDR, and MX is a lot slower than GTS. So, you can play, but not with all the pretty graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daction Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 Just check out pricewatch.com. As of now I see a Geforce3 Ti200 for $112 at the lowest, and a Geforce2 Ti 64mb for $72. Both MUCH faster than an MX400 P.O.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevanBates Posted April 1, 2002 Author Share Posted April 1, 2002 thanks! but is that site reliable? . And, should i spend the extra dough on the geforce 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontyPython Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 Getting Geforce3 is definitly worth it. Jedi Knight II have the option to turn volumetric shadow on. This is what makes the Jedi Knight II's graphic so beautiful. Imagine shadow move from your cheak bone to your fore head, or move from your back to your lower back as you move away or towards a light source. I have never seen such an effect in any other first person shooter games. Why play a game with its best features turned off just because you can get a playable framerate when you can enjoy the game to its fullest. Get the Geforce3 or Geforce4.

KevanBates Posted April 1, 2002 Author Share Posted April 1, 2002 Now, I will get a GeForce3. But, what kind should I get? The regular geforce 3, or a geforce ti200 (on sale). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridger Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 hey, DON'T GET MX! MX is a suped DOWN version of GF2, get a GF2 Ti or a GF3 Ti, the GF3 will last you quite a bit longer than a GF2, so i say spend the extra dough to get a GF3, it will be worth it in the long run. GF3 can run any game out there today, most of them with full graphics (though i don't think ANYTHING could run ghost recon full graphics...).

KevanBates Posted April 1, 2002 Author Share Posted April 1, 2002 OK!!! I will get a geforce 3 ti200. It BETTER LAST LONG, cuz my parents say it cost to much . HELP ME CONVINCE THEM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevanBates Posted April 1, 2002 Author Share Posted April 1, 2002 DAAAAANG!!!!!!!!!$%#@!!!! I just found out my computer only has pci slots!!! Can u tell me any good pci cards (if they exist?)? HELP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontyPython Posted April 2, 2002 Share Posted April 2, 2002 The best pci cards are Geforce MX 32MB PCI and Radeon 32MB PCI. They are not good, but they are the best of PCI's world in gaming. Go get a new motherboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward_Zeth Posted April 2, 2002 Share Posted April 2, 2002 will jk2 work on 1.6 ghz P4 w/ 512 MB RAM, cable, cd-rw, and NVIDIA 16 MB VANTA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontyPython Posted April 2, 2002 Share Posted April 2, 2002 Yep, you can. My old machine was a pIII 600 128mb with a 8mb Nvdia video card. I could play Quake iii at medium detail level with good frame per second. Consider this is based on the Quake III arena engine and your computer is that much faster than my old PIII I definitly think you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aim Posted April 2, 2002 Share Posted April 2, 2002 Dude newegg.com has a 64mb (i think) geforece 2 gts or pro (cant remember) for $58. Or get the kyro 2 se! ! ! ! ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrEEpaGe Posted April 2, 2002 Share Posted April 2, 2002 dude if i were you, i would NEVER recommend getting a gf3 ti200...it is only a little cheaper than the radeon 8500, which gives performance about (almost equal) to that of a ti500....its much better than the ti200, and only at a difference of like 20 bucks comeon! are you an idiot? of course not.. $112 - GeForce3 TI 200 $133 - RADEON 8500 the radeon will last you far longer than a gay ti200 YOU do the math..its YOUR money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnival Posted April 2, 2002 Share Posted April 2, 2002 im running a p3 650, 128meg ram and a gf 2 mx400 and it works fine with mine...most of the settings are on medium/high and i only get slow down when there are a lot of bots on screen...so if you dont have money to burn get a gf 2...dont get a radeon cause the company is selling off its tech bit by bit so it wont be supported that much in the future...
