Hello, I'm looking to get a GeForce card to upgrade my old voodoo 3000 card. I need one that has tv out and one that about 300 or less. I hear one has a built in DVD Decoder is that true. I run my DVD off of there so I was wondering if you can give me some suggestions. thanks.
well you can go with one of the generic GF2 cards and you might get it for like $170-180 if you are into generic stuff. I personally will never buy generic video cards because of how important it is to have maximum compatibility in such an important component. There is an Asus GF2 MX with video out for like $111 I believe. Of course this won't perform like the GF2 GTS, but the MX is still a very good card.
Ati radeon is just a bit under the speed of gerforce 2's but has better quality and the best dvd playback ever. The radeon's can come with VIVO or you cna get the all in wonder radeon which has every ouput/input devices you can think of. It is also a very good price for performance,quality/price ratio.
I have ATI Radeon All-in-Wonder, works very well for me... all the games I have work perfectly, DVD playback is *amazing*, I actually like ATI software better than PowerDVD...
and you have so many Input and Output options its really not even funny
some people have had some troubles installing them, and a few have raised a lot of fuss about it... however, it works for me without a hitch, and new drivers have come out which presumably would help those who did have problems...
