- Good place for video cards?

[3dsmax]

I am looking for a new video card to replace my aging card also.

Basically you have two companies to choose from, Nvida which makes GeForce and ATI which makes Radeon.

Geforce 4 is coming out with more features, but Geforce 3 is very good now at reasonable price. You can't go wrong with Geforce.

Me, I am thinking of buying a ATI Radeon 8500, even though it has some drivers problem, which ATI should fix eventually. The only reason why I lean toward ATI is its better TV-out quaility for making my own demo tape at home, and good 2D. It's 3D is not shabby either though Geforce can beat it in some test.

But any one of them will do fine even though people will make war on which is better.

The one computer store that consistently have good mark and reasonable price is www.newegg.com

Since you're not using Maya or Softimage the GeForce 3 Ti200 or Ti500 is enough for your needs. They're both under $300 among many vendors online. Try www.pricewatch.com to find attractive prices.

Btw, how do you like Messiah Studio.
