Gforce or nforce or radeon?
 

Im about to buy a new graphics processor so as when i get doom 3 it will perform to my liking. Can any of you that have a gforce or another good video card plz tell me what is the best choice?

nForce isn't a fucking graphics card, it's just a motherboard with onboard video about equivalent to a first tier geforce 2. In other words, it's useless.

How much money do you have? The best card for Doom III would be a FX 5900.. but I doubt you've got the dough..

Get a Radeon 9800 Pro or Radeon 9800 XT, if you have the money.

If not, I'd go with a Radeon 9600 XT.

What in the flying fuck is a XT? "Ultimate?"

XT is their next edition they announced at the Alcatraz event. The 9800 XT was released a few weeks ago, and they're supposedly better, and also come with a free hl2 coupon. The 9600 XT isnt out yet, but is supposed to be better than 9500.

yea im prolly gona end up getting the radeon cuzz it only cost 100$ at bestbuy

Um, maybe the 5600 does..

Edit:

I would save your money for the RADEON 9600 XT if you can. It's under $200 and is more bang for the buck than the FX 5600.

Whats better a gforce or a radeon?

FX's are not worth the money. I'd wait for nVidia's next card or get a high-end Radeon.

The 5900 is about 300 - 350 and the 5900 Ultra is more like 400+

Ruroni are radeon's worth the buy? I mean their are some really cheap ones on bestbuy.com but from what most people say Gforces are better...

It depends on what model you get, damnit. Nobody try to help him because he's too dumb to understand. Let him go buy a gf4 mx

Don't listen to GS. Avoid anything with MX in the name.

Get at least a Radeon 9800 if you want to go ATI. If not, at least a normal FX 5900.

Personally, I find Radeons give more bang for the buck, but I do have some past issues that make me biased against cards made by nVidiots.

Mmm, indeed, I've been using ATI cards ever since my TNT2 card came DOA on a warranty replacement and of course was out of warranty when I got the replacement so they refused to do anything for me. (It took half a year to get the replacement, with proper RMA procedures)

If you want a Radeon Card to play Doom 3, then you are either buying a 9800 PRO or 9800 TX.

QUADRO! QUADRO! DAMMNIT!

Why is EVERYONE forgetting the Quadro series?!

Um.... he didn't ask about the Quadro series though. ^_^

Plus if it's just for gaming, I don't think it's very suitable considering the price range. =)

and dont buy them at bestbuy....... order one from like newegg or some other computer site because they are WAY CHEAPER, i got a radeon 9600 pro for 152 bucks dude and free shipping

Look Zagggon, it goes like this: For anything up to the GF4ti6400/Radeon 9000 level, go nVidia. Anything past that, go ATI. (Get Radeon 9x00, not GF FX; Get GF4Ti, not Radeon 8x00). If you want it for Doom III, though, you're gonna want a DX9 card, which means buy a Radeon 9x00 (but not 9000)
