| Post subject: | Is this video card a good choice? |
I am building a frontend machine to put in my bedroom for casual viewing and have everything except for a video card. I was wondering if this video card would be a good choice: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814141052 BIOSTAR VP5200SL16 GeForce FX 5200 128MB 64-bit DDR AGP 4X/8X The machine is an older P4 2.0Ghz. I record and watch HD on the master backend/frontend, and would possibly use this frontend for HD if I upgrade my bedroom TV in the future. Would this video card and machine be sufficient if I decide to do HD in the near future? Anyone have any experience with this card? |

I generally recommend one with a DVI output. It seems to equate to a slightly better picture for the TV out. It also gives you more options if you upgrade to a better TV later. If you're willing to deal with a rebate these look a bit better: $18.99 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814130207 $26.99 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814131014 $30.99 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814127317 |
