In a couple of weeks I'll be looking to sell my Geforce4 MX 440, it's definetely not the best in the market, but it can handle smoke grenades like it aint no thang... If your interested PM me, if you pay for shipping i'll just give it to you. I just have to get my paycheck and order an new one first, lol. So if you dont mind waiting....

MX is bad, MX is bad, MX is bad



Geforce MX 440 64MB cards are ok for CS tho, especially free cards...

I know Kreaper runs an MX 440 and he does ok with it.

Very true, just as Gforce 5200's are.
these are not gaming cards.

Radeon X800XT's can be ordered for $454.00 *cough, cough* right now through Gateway accessories.

Now thats a gaming card :p

lol, I run cs and cs only. and maybe some playing around with pics. but the upgrade will be immense from a gf2.

haha, all i can say is that an MX is better than nothing.
the mx 440 is perfectly suitable for cs, seeing as its not graphically intense (unless you use some crazy skins), the fraps arent that great in smoke, but its more than duable.

Since everyone is rippin on MY card, what cards do you guys have, or suggest having?

I have a Radeon 9600 Pro 128MB in my box

Wife has a Geforce3 ti200 64MB card in hers


My other computer has an Radeon 9200SE 128MB card. Can't do crap with this one. :)
I should have gotten a half-height Geforce4 MX440 instead.

I have a radeon 9600se 128mb 8x AGP for now but i'm getting a new one pretty soon. any suggestions for a new one?

CajunTech

I'd say these depending on your budget..

$150-$200ish Radeon 9600XT 128MB
$200-$250ish Radeon 9800PRO (XT?) 128MB/256MB

I definately wouldn't spend more than that unless you were buying one of the top of the line cards ($400-$600).

I have a TNT2 Ultra!!! You can't mess with the ultra baby!

you can get a ATI9600pro (not that much diff between the pro and XT version of the 9600) for about $120 at newegg. I've been so tempted to get it myself, but I'm holding out for either x600xt to come out or x800pro to drop alot in price.

the 9600pro was the card I was going to buy. But since i'll be getting saints' mx440, I'll just wait until I really have to buy a better one. I can't even run through smoke nades with my current video card. Besides paying for shipping is alot better for me cause now i might be able to buy my ram!!! of course this all depends on what the wife says..lol

I'm really sorry eob and merdawk, but the card has already been spoken for by sabre. :sad: Any requests for the card should go to him.

I still have to order my card, i guess i have the same question as to which card you guys recommend, I'm more curious which company you guys prefer though. (That being Nvidia and ATI).

HL2 was designed with ATI XT cards......... any questions?

/me remembers to buy and throw a smoke nade at sabre whenever he is on the other team!

lmao @ diesel, guess that means im getting an XT card then...

There are lots of good cards out there, if you are heavy into the EA games then Nvidia cards are great, but IMHO since ATI cards were used by the valve team, and HL2 is going to be awesome, and CS source will be..../me drools.... then ATI holds the advantage, they will all be outdated in 2 yrs, but the 9600XT is tremendous bang for your buck right now. The XT is just better for DirectX9 games then the ATI Pro's

if you can't swing the TNT2 Ultra, then go for the TNT2 m64.
