video card question... would a newer card make a difference

2004-12-23, 14:07

Hi all,

Ok, I got an ATI All in One Wonder 9000 pro, 128MB. Now this is OK I guess.. The reason why I say "guess" is I have no idea how much of an impact would a Graph card have on game playing...

For instance I am playing Prince of Persia (Sand of time) on this card, and it looks good!

The question is, would a newer, more memory, Graph card make a difference on the graphics, playabiltiy? Would the game look better with a more up to date card?

There are so many available, I have no idea if they really have an impact on things..

Thanks

Using the same card on my HTPC. While it is not "the ultimate" card for 3d gaming it is sufficent for almost every 3d games on market today. (This is my humble opinnion). As a directx 8.1 compliant it handles quite well on 800x600 resolution (using tv as output device, hence the resolution).

Got it.. Thanks for that.. There are so many on the market that you start wondering if they actually do make a serious difference!

Thanks
