Video card probs with eq2

Ra've

I evidently have a junky video card its a Geforce4 mx440 with agp8y. Wich of course isnt supported by EQ2 my question is how much is a new "good" card?

Im thinking about just letting it go and sticking to WoW i was wanting to play EQ2 more for curiousity than anything and im not sure the new card would be a good investment. Thanks for your help guys

I think the closest card with good performance on EQ2  for about $100 mark should be the Radeon 9600.

You can play with the FX5200 but honest truth if you are a gamer you should keep away from the low budget cards as much as possible.They perform badly and generally just suck so bad you end up constantly upgrading them.

Rather step a generation back and get a mid range card.As someone that has used Ti4200 and FX5200 i can safely say in all the games i played the Ti4200 performed better.And on ebay the Ti4200 gos for same price as the FX5200 if not less.

But if you got like $100 -$120 then go for a R9600 it will server u well for EQ2 and of course WoW.

If you want play new games, you have to spend some money .

I played on Nvidia GF5800, was a decent card for the games, now i have Radeon X800XT PE, the best ever made. Get yourelf one of those and forget about upgrade for 2 years.
