I just got a steal of a deal locally on a brand new 19 inch monitor. I'm currently running at 1600x1200 using a creative labs TNT2, C300a@464 mhz, 128 mgs ram and am finding that the limitations of the TNT2 when it comes to text at higher resolutions is sadly true.fonts are a bit muddied and my 2 D performance is quite disappointing considering we're talking a 32 mg video card
here!
I also have a second AMD cpu based system for the kids that's running a V3 3000, friends have advised that I simply switch video cards as the V3's 2d performance at higher resolutions beats that of the TNT2'
next card. The problem with this is that I don't want to wrestle with a TNT2 in a SS7 system and I prefer the image quality of the TNT2 over the V3 in Q2 and Q3.I also can't just keep buying new video cards !
At this point I'm considering the G400 max,
I saw a 3d card showdown in maxium pc they had screen shots of Q3 with the various cards
I had my daughter cover the names of the cards,simply chose based on image quality
and the G400 won hands down !!!
What would you all advise ? get a g400 max or wait it out till nvidia's next offering
is available ?
Thanks in advance
