budget card ideas?

[Marvt74]

hey guys
my mate just built a pc but wants a new graphics card his voodoo3 3000 ain cutting it for mohaa anymore
he wants to spend about £60 or so
i was thinkiong along the lines of the hercules 7500
rather no gf4 mx`s but the 440 could prve well i suppose
any other suggestions?
the 8500le seems a bt outta the range

Radeon 9000 looks pretty good at about that price. Quite a bit faster than the 7500 and DX8.1 compliant too.

Basic card, £50
With DVI, £55
VIVO model, £61

If he can stretch to the Radeon 9000 Pro it's quite a bit faster (275/275MHz vs. 250/200MHz).

i dont know if he could shell out extra for the pro version but if he could id probably try and get him to shell out more for an 8500
is that 9000 basic safe i would have liked a fan on there instead of a heatsink

Hi,

The Pro version can be had for a shade over £70. Well worth it!

Stupid is as stupid does.

i was going to sell him my old gf2 mx400 but decided to keep onto it
not too bad for a backup card

i'd go with the 9000 too BTW i've put a fan on mine - the heatsink ain't enough, I was getting locks in UT but a pentium fan has solved that!
