Okies, I recently bought a 3d Prophet GeForce256 32MB AGP yadda yadda ya, which ran perfectly 'cept for OpenGL. So the card has been sent back and I must choose another card. I've made a shortlist, but unsure from here. I'm not much of a hardware guy, so help is much appreciated.


My shortlist.

EDIT: I need to know by Aussie Tuesday by the latest, so replies ASAP would be goodly.

I've recently purchased GeForce 2 GTS for home. That's really best one for gaming but is not sutable to work

I understood that most of 3D cards are not good for graphics/design. They can't produce quite good contrast and colors.

At home I can only play. At work I have Matrox Millenium G400 MAX with two monitors That's really good shit to do design and graphic work

got the first one in the list.

its a good card but the driver installations are somewhat complicated because the NVIDIA drivers do not work 100% with the creative drivers.

I guess there is something better in the list but the TNT2 32MB is an okay card.

if you want great 2D quality (second to the matrox unfortunately) with great 3D I hear that the ATI Radeon's are good for it, and the 32MB DDR is $150 in the US with a rebate (200 without) I don't know much about australia, but I do know that prices are 1.5 times the US in Israel where my friends live, so I'm guessing australia is around that...
