OK, heres the deal, I want a high performing Graphics card for a reasonable price that will not be tested for years, £120 or less would be nice. Apparently the GeForce4 MX460 will give me higher frame rates than a GF3 Ti200 *BUT* it does not have all those gizmos to take pressure off ur CPU (vertex, pixel shaders etc.) although would this really matter on an ATHLON XP 1700+
It is also very important to me that the performance and resolution when using the TV-OUT is good because I plan to plug my PC into a TV regularly for a variety of tasks.
I need advice on which one to get and why...
(pros and cons of each card would be nice)

I wish I could help, but I can never get a 3D card as good as a GeForce 4, simply because my motherboard doesn't have the right slots to fit them. I have to make do with a GF2 until I get a brand new MB later this year.

I have a GeForce3 with a P4 1700 and it handles everything I throw at it.
Currently playing SoF2 at 1024x768 with all details maxed and FSAA enabled, with no slowdown.

Groan, really sorry but I'm just too tired to undertake a great big writing session on graphics cards. Maybe later. Or maybe Cipro can help out instead. ;)
