What Graphics Card for 2004?

Hey anybody know what graphics card will be the best for Fifa 2004?...I want to go buy a new card so that it would be compatible with that game and some of the newer releases...I don't want to end up in the same problem of not seeing numbers on players jerseys etc..and the Good Lord alone knows what EA will try and screw us up with next.

well.. if you have the money I would suggest going for a top of the line card.. that way you wouldnt have to worry for a few yrs

I suggest you get yourself a Radeon 9500 PRO. I have it myself, and it's a dream I tell you. If overclocked properly, iot can perform as wel as the 9700 without AA and AT on. only difference is half of 9700s bus. It's cheap now, and it certainly is worth the cash

Oh, man...
I have NVidia GeForce 2 MX400 64MB... I really need upgrade...

I have the Radeon 9500 Non-pro. You can soft patch it so it runs the same as the 9700 (it's basically the exact same card). It should run Fifa for a few years.

Errr ... no you can't. Ati have discovered this and have pulled back all the moddable cards. That means there are or rathere were two kinds of Radeon 9500, the ones with 4 RAM chips in a row, and those with two horizontally and two vertically. The last model was soft moddable to 9700, but it has been pulled back from market, whihc means you can only overclock the other to a Radeon 9500 PRO ... IF you're lucky. The PRO edition costs almost the same, so I can only point a finger in that direction

got money?? Get fx 5900 or ati 9800 pro

thanks fellas...actually i shouldv'e mentioned i was looking fora card with video capture capabilities also...what u think bout the MSI Model FX5600-TD256 Geforce FX 5600 AGP8X VGA Card at $200 compared to the slightly cheaper MSI Geforce FX 5600 Model FX5600-VTDR128 VGA Card at bout $180..so far the only diff i can see is that one is 128mb more for a couple dollars?

go for the 256mb definetly

HI guy, I sorry to ask so stupid question, but i am not very good with computers.... I have videocard: nVidia TNT2 M64 grafics card with 32MB SDRAM I s it good enough for FIFA2004? Please, answer me....

no

NO ... NOT AT ALL. That's the card evrybody complained about not seeing player numbers and stuff

I got a radeon 9500 pro but im hoping to get the 9800 256 ram video soon that's the fastest card out beats the nvidia

The best card out there hands down is the Radeon 9700 All in wonder ...

people get caught up in words, they read that the Nvida is "faster" well yes it is, but not by much at all, and the radeon is soooo damn fast too that it u dont really need that extra speed,

the radeon 9700 All in wonder comes with everything u can dream off, it has the speed of a 9700, and it comes with EVERYTHING media on it, u can connect everything and anyting to it, VCR's Camcorders, TV HDTV, EVERYthing!! and it comes with industry leadind DVD playback

by the way thats the card i got, its a dream it really is!!

Click to expand...

actually the ATI Radeon 9800 pro 256mb is the best graphics card out there

i would beg to differ :P

as the 9700 all in wonder has gone down in price, and its not just a gaming card, its an everything card. the Pro 9800 just used for games... nothing else

the best card for its price is the radeon 9700. Here in the netherlands it costs 190euros. And you can play any game with it. And you can easily overclock it to a 9700pro.

the other cards like ati9800 and nvidia5800 etc are faster yes, but way too expensive. I would never spend 500euros for a video card.

thats very true, the all in wonder can be quite usefull, and i do agree that the ATI9800 is too expensive

GeForce

GeForce 4 Ti 4200 64 Mb AGP 4X would be good enough

in my country better buy playstation2i cheapere than radeon9700.. or save your money for ps3..if you just want to play a game
