what is the best video card under $100. Auctions too. i want a 64mb ddr card. thanks.
i did find a Visiontek Xtasy 5864 Geforce2 TI 64MB DDR AGP card for $50.

Buy it. If using 98 or ME use Nvidia detonator3 drivers. If 2000 or XP use nvidia detonatorXP (4) drivers.

I agree with JAMMAN... the Xtasy is a good card, and NVidia has yet to fail in their chipsets, so you will notice an improvement. The amount of improvement depends on what card you used to have. Anyway...happy gaming!

Uhhh. with the exception of the "MX" models. OpenGl+98(or ME)+MX=poor performance. Well, with openGL anyway.

You get what you pay for. MX is the cheapy chipset of what NVidia puts out, plus ME is bad anyway. But I guess your right, but they didn't really fail, I'm sure they did their best for the entry line of their chipsets.... It's kinda like saying that the Mazda 323 isn't good by comparing it to the 626 or 929.... apples to oranges... But once again your right the MX does kinda suck with OpenGL.

I have had my LeadTek GeForce 2 GTS Pro 64 DDR for a little over a year now and it works great for me. And, I can play all the games the GF3 people can. But, back when I bought it I paid a ton more money then than you can get one for now. So, they are a great card for the money nowdays.

Good luck

But, you want to make sure and use the drivers than Jam told you to. He is right about that.

It is a great deal and a great card you will like it alot.
