Hello guys
It’s time for me to buy a new card and I want your help to decide what exactly. Now follows a list of question
1. NVIDIA or ATI? So far I’m with ATI because of some rumors in the past about quality of the fx series. Also I don’t want this fat piece of hardware to take 2 slots
2. 9700 pro, 9800 or 9800 pro? Similarities, differences, etc. I’m not a high-resolution freak that want to play games in 1600x1200. 1024x768 with antialising is good for me. I definitely want to play dx9 (doom3 Yeaaa) games so I do want a full dx9 support. Best value - performance
3. NVIDIA fx series full compatibility with dx9? What about ATI 9700 and 9800?
4. Quality of drivers. Mainly for win2000
5. Will my system be able to handle a card like that? Athlon 1800+ at 2000+ 512 DDR 266. FSB 133? Or the cpu will slow the card?
6. Tweaking?
If I remember something else I’ll drop a line
Thanks for your help
