i would agree with the FX part of that....the 5900 series of FX cards is amazing...but some people (like me) dont have the $400 needed to put one of those into our gaming machines. That card alone costs about 50% of what i payed for all the parts for my latest machine.
I have a GF4 ti4200 and am very very pleased with it. Sure it can't handle *all* of the DX9 features, but how many games in linux (whether you're using wine or otherwise) support the DX9 stuff anyhow? I can still play UT2003 at 1024x768 w/ 2xQ AA turned on and get respectable frame rates. One thing i will say...dont waste your money on the GF4 MX series cards...they're worthless.... $0.02 Brendan On Mon, 2004-02-09 at 12:45, Gard Spreemann wrote: > If I were going to invest in any graphics card for use with gaming in Linux, I > would definately get a GeForce FX5600 Ultra or a 5900.
