    Graphics card upgrade..Worth it?

    I have a GF2...My games run fine -n- dandy with it. If I upgraded it to a GF4 would it improve FPS or quality? Make my games run even cleaner? (sorry im an idiot with this kind of stuff)

    Absolutely! I'd go for it if you're a gamer.

    Yeah, it would definately - just don't get dragged into the GF4 MX line - which has the same featureset as a GF2 (they're about equivalent to a GF2 Ultra/Pro). And Justin will come and preach about the R8500/9700, and if you have the money, go for the 9700

    Well if your budget is low, a GF4 MX is perfectly fine and will increase your performance significantly. At least in my case it did. I am quite happy with the 64 Meg GF4 MX.

    If you can wait until February, the GeForceFX (NV30) should be hitting the shelves. If you've got the money it looks good. If not, it will at least drive other prices down.
