I recently bought a nice 1200 MHz DDR Athlon, and I thought games would run fast like never before. I thought the CPU was the main influence on game speed - duh, I was wrong.
I have an Asus GeForce2 V7100T MX-200 32MB, which I rapidly found had really poor performances! I found myself running mostly in 640x480x16 to achieve the frames rates I find acceptable, while a friend of mine, using a PentiumIII 800 was able to reach unbelievable frame rates in 1280x960x32!!! I guess he has some Asus GeForce2 V7700 Pro, I'm not sure of the exact model tho...
Now I want a card that's going to bring me good frame rates! That's the most important thing for me.
I'd like to stay in the NVidia GeForce2 or 3 (not ATI Radeon, not Kyro, etc). I think I'm going to go for an "ASUS V7700 Deluxe" or an "ASUS V7700 Pro", but I don't know the difference. I don't know what's with the "GTS" cards either... And I need a composite video out too, like I have one on my actual card (with an S-Video that I don't use because my TV has only a composite video input).
Tell me what you think, am I wrong ? I just want good FRAME RATES, but I'm not ready for a too huge investment like a GeForce3 Ti500 (my actual dream card)
