Easy answer my friend Gefore2 Ultra

I'll second that.

of course, they do cost $500

if you cant go that high, go for the 3d prophet 2, with 64 mb ram on it. geforce 2 of course

Yah German, tryin' to keep this post alive because I really need some info on good vid cards.

Anyone know where I can find some benchmark tests on some of the lastest video cards?

You know german... Im not going to suggest which card for you to buy.... Im gonna point you to a buying guide where people do this for a living....

(FYI, I personally have a LeadTek Geforce2MX that I bought for $114), I get 99fps @ 1024x768 on most maps...

Here's the buying guide:

If your going to get a video card, here is what i suggest:

NV20 ( Suggested Price [ $700+ ] This card isnt out yet. )

Geforce 2 Ultra ($500-$600 but will lower in a few months probabl when the NV20 is released )

Geforce 2 GTS ($160-$300)

Geforce 2 MX ($90-$200)

In order from best to really f-n good

Yeah, I just got the geforce2 MX and i get like 70-80 fps on 1040x760, it kicks mad ass compare to my old Voodoo2 ;(. I just need a faster cpu and I can catch up with Hick with his 99fps http://www.fr3nsyc.net/ubb/biggrin.gif
