OT- Advice on new video card

[psimancer]

ati drivers interact badly with games compared to nvidia drivers ( i have a radeon 9600 all in wonder
it fights me on almost every graphic intensicve game i have
(neverwinter andf warcraft 3 come to mind))
however i have video recording capabilites that i consider unmatched

Graphics cards seem to be trailing the progress of the graphics demands of the games adn the hard drive and DVD capabilities coming through now.

well i would only get 128 megs... and a mid level.

i will most likely stick with a nvidia chip

right now i had a geforce 3 v8200 which is 3 years old... so it is going to be an improvement over that.

The card will mostly be used for tv - output.
games i play are not very graphics intensive... and if they are i turn the graphic stuff down...
