Geforce 2 GTS, 64 mb, TV-out, defeniteley !
I don't have one myself, but your pc shouldn't have any problems with running games any more...
You could also wait for the Geforce 3 to come out, but i've heard it's gonna cost about fl 1000,- (=$300 (?)) |

yes the geforce2 GTS will do virtually anything you need it to. games, graphics, etc. or your can wait till the geforce3 like Boss said. but the thing is with the Geforce3 is that it'll take a while for software to curve towards the technology available on the GF3 (the vertex engine, etc. etc.)
if money is an issue, go for the Geforce2 MX. a toned down version of it's GTS brother. still a great card.
Hercules makes some serious quality . but they're beginning to run into financial problems with a past debt that they still have not paid off. their company nearly went bankrupt last year...i'm not certain how they stayed in business but the point is they have. :) but to avoid any problems in the NEAR future, i wouldn't buy a hercules card simply because if they do end up going out of business...then future software won't support their cards and new drivers will not be available.

| Geforce MX cards will run around $100, great cards for the money. The GTS cards are near $200 I think now. The Ultras are just over $300. And if you are a serious gamer, and want to spend serious money, the Geforce 3 cards have just come onto the market. My favorite brands are Hercules, Elsa, and Asus. |

| I agree the geforce 2 64 mb card is the way to go. I have the voodoo 5000 and wish i got the geforce instead. The Geforce 3 is looking really cool, but the amount of money it costs isnt really worth it. It's not much better than the geforce 2. at least in tests. |

for games, no, the tests aren't that far off. but it's not the benchmarks that make it such an amazing piece of hardware. it's the features and the technology on it.
it's every graphic artist and animators dream. :D :D :D |
