aiyah, just decide on what resolution you want to play on for the next 2 - 3 years and how much eye candy you want and go for the best you can afford.

well, actually i wouldn't care too much bout frame rates, what i am actually going for is the aniso filtering......n yeah, i like to enable all those eye candies so wat the heck....decided to get tat radeon 9700 pro anyway as i already hav all the stuff for my new rig except the graphics card.

Anyhow, thanks again everyone for you input and advice! I appreciated tat!

what reso u plan to run on? the R9700 is nice enough IMHO.

Werne · 7th Apr 2003, 04:03 AM

For me, I would be running at 1280x1024 n at 1600x1200 if possible.....

i thought Millan is suppose to be spelt Milan?

anyway, then you should get the R9700 Pro or R9800 Pro if you can afford.

well it IS you money.. BUT seriously... i would advice u to wait if possible.... i mean... 9800 is out soon and there's quite some improvement and tweaks over its features... you wouldn't regret it if u have the cash to burn...

yeah, 9800 is gonna b out soon but nobody knows when, probably another month or 2 and also considering the fact tat these state of the art h/wares won't b available straight away in malaysia, I most probably would b tempted to go for the 9700 pro.....

what's waiting for just a few more months when u've already waited so long

just grab an old gf2mx or gf2ti and play with it 1st... tahan...

I'm doing the same... still can stand with the gf2ti... until i can afford something better

LOL. no need to spend any cash on older cards if ur planning to wait. it's not worth buying those older cards anymore unless you really really want to skimp on graphics card.

tell u, i upgraded cos i was using a GF256. if i was using a GF2TI my upgrade would be much later.
