caustiK Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 what do you mean better? better at 3d performance or better at doing dual display? some people argue that matrox does a better job at dual displays - but if you want a good 3d card definitely go with the 7500 - the ve is not even in the picture!

iampedro Posted July 8, 2002 Author Share Posted July 8, 2002 I really don't need better dual performance.. i just want to save space and for my computer.. Let me ask you right now I am running a voodoo 3 3000 agp.. Option 1: Buy a Geforce 2 MX 200 PCI 32megs $32 dollars Option 2: Buy a ATI Radeon 7500 $58 dollars Option 3: Radeon VE 64 megs for $46.28 Now which option would you choose if you were in my situation..

caustiK Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 Radeon 7500, unless you're just really on a budget, and then I would go with the geforce. Again, don't even look at the VE! You may wanna research some benchmarks, but i'm pretty sure the 7500 outperforms the mx200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iampedro Posted July 8, 2002 Author Share Posted July 8, 2002 So, even over a Geforce 2 MX 400 64 megs.. Which cost 44 dollars.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caustiK Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 i think i'd still say yes to the radeon, but i'd probably research the benchmarks somewhere (like anandtech) and get a comparison - i'm not really sure offhand - the extra memory on that model would probably give it an edge in a few games with large amounts of textures, but there aren't too many of those. i'd say you're probably looking at similar performance either way.

jpcahn Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 Geforce II MX 400 is ATI's bitch trust me. Check out this Anandtech page. http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.html?i=1608&p=13 Double the frames in Quake III. I definitely vote for the 7500.

iampedro Posted July 8, 2002 Author Share Posted July 8, 2002 Yep.. I am going to do just that do some research on the web and find out who has the better performance.. And make the buy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realmccoy Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 Go with a ATI Radeon 7500 $58 dollars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iampedro Posted July 8, 2002 Author Share Posted July 8, 2002 I probbly am.. I was just having problems with XP this is why I am considering upgrading.... I have to test my system and see if it is just my video card that was messing up in xp to see if that was the only problem.. With my Voodoo 3 3000 it was freezing up in XP after it started and I would get no response out of the computer and I would have to press the reset button.
