What's a good video card out there?

I was just wondering since my current video card sucks. Also, I would want one in my price range ($100-$200) and one that's not dead like Voodoo 5. Sure, the Geforce 3 would be nice, but for $600, I think I'll go broke. Hehehe.

Geforce 2MX has good speed at good range (89$-129$)
U won't go broke over that - PLUS its better than the ATi radeon
Thanks, I'll consider that.
unknown4x's right.
The GeForce2 MX is your best bet.
How much are the other Geforce 2 cards? As in GTS, GTS Ultra and whatever else they have.
as of today - at pricewatch.com
$295 - GeForce2 Ultra 64MB
$195 - GeForce2 Pro 64MB
$105 - GeForce2 MX 64MB
$57 - GeForce2 MX 32MB
$189 GeForce2 GTS 64MB
$131 - GeForce2 GTS 32MB
What's the difference in all those cards?
Well since your price range is $100-$200 go for the GeForce2 Pro,I have one and I must say that the quality in ePSXe is incredible,when I used FSAA for the first time I was amazed now I always use it.
Well...
GeForce2 Ultra 64MB - Fastest GeForce2 Card u can get today... all the features expensive ... wait until u can find a GOOD geforce 3 price if u wana buy this
GeForce2 Pro 64MB - 2nd Fastest Geforce2 Card u can get today
GeForce2 MX 64MB - Geforce2 MX w/64MB RAM... trades off between GTS at high resolution in speed - economy version of geforce 2
GeForce2 MX 32MB - Geforce 2 MX w/32 MB RAM... trades off between GTS at high resolution in speed - economy version of geforce 2 - a bit slower than 64 mb mx's...
GeForce2 GTS 64MB - trades off between MX at high resolution in speed (GTS is faster at hi-res) - older version of geforce 2
GeForce2 GTS 32MB - trades off between MX at high resolution in speed (GTS is faster at hi-res) - older version of geforce 2 - a bit slower than 64 MB GTS...
I'll probably go for the Geforce 2 MX 64MB. That way I can save up for other things too, like a new processor... maybe 1 Ghz, but I'll only get that when Celerons hit 1 Ghz. Thanks for the help.

there's a new card out there, the hercules prophet 4500 which uses the new Kyro 2 processor....so far the results were oustanding: it seems to be performing like a geforce 2 gts while it has the price of an MX...nope, it's not nvidia
I recommend:

* ATi RADEON 32 MB DDR: its power is between GF2-MX and GF2-GTS (the price also :) )

OR

* KYRO II: it's cheaper then GF2-MX and it's faster then it (comes in May)
Yeah, but some people say some pretty bad stuff about Raedon.
ya geforce2mx would be great... but it would be even better if you wait for geforce 3 and then the price for gf2mx will drop... and u dont wanna buy a gf3 anyway...so wait and buy would be better... i'm sure you can survive :yawn:
:shout: like what im about to say!!!!
First of all the radeon has a lack of updates, and there's some games it looks pretty bad on!
Second of all geforce2 mx beats radeons at almost all aspects speed (not features) - and is much cheaper and configurable at 59$-129$
and geforce2 mx kills with its 64mb version... pretty fast.... industry-standard cheap etc.
I guess I could wait for Geforce 2 MX prices to drop when the Geforce 3 comes out.:)

yes...but you could wait "too long" ....like when you buy a tnt2 or voodoo3 now it's dirt cheap...but outdated.
Well, the Geforce 2 is going to be outdated someday, right?

of course....personally I upgrade when I feel my system's getting too slow and I can do a good upgrade at a reasonable price....though I'm not scared to pay a little more if that gives much extra advantage....everyone draws that line different though....
