Re: Good Nvidia Based Card - Anyone??

[Eric Koldeweij <eric@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

According to Tom's Hardware guide, reasonably comparable in performance 
to Radeon 9700 Pro is the Nvidia GeForce4 ti4600 chipset. About the same 
price range also.

I managed to google up the following video cards for you (without making 
any statements on quality):

- Leadtek Winfast A250 Ultra TD
- EVGA 128-A8-NV85-T3 GF4 Ti4600 128MB AGP 8X Video
- MSI 8872-070 GeForce4 Ti4600 128MB DDR
- MSI MS-8900-070 GeForce4 Ti4600 8X 128MB DDR
- PNY VCGF4TI46APB GeForce4 Ti4600 128M AGP Verto
- Asus V8460Ultra GeForce4 Ti4600 128MB DDR AGP Video Card w/TV Out, OEM
- Chaintech NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti4600, 128MB DDR AGP Video Card with TV Out

They all seem to be between $200 and $300 in price.

And yes, they work fine with Linux. NVidia does a very good job 
releasing drivers for X, in fact they support Linux as good as they 
support M$ Windoze.
For that reason alone, only Nvidia cards in my boxes :)
Tip: don't go to the manufacturer's site, for drivers go directly to 
www.nvidia.com.

Have fun,
Eric.
