Graphics Card for PS1 games.

[cloud4004]

What's a good graphics card to have for running ps1 games? :happy:
I ask because I'm about to buy one (I'd like not to spend over $100).

Any low/mid-end card should be enough.

Maybe a 128 to a 256,
Do you think that will do it?

MSI FX5200 128mb 60$ runs ps1 games good
NVIDIA Geforce 4 64mb 40$ runs good also

the entire FX5*** series was terrible, they all sucked balls. it may seem good, but anything can emulate PS1 without issues. i have no issues playing with my radeon 7200, which was a decent card around 5 years ago.

if you also do some PC gaming, i'd recommend the nVidia 6600

@onewecallgod i have bought a MSI FX5200 128mb i thought it would be better since it has "128mb" instead of "64mb" what should i stick with the 64mb Geforce 4? or the 128 MSI? which one is better i mean

You should consider core speed too. I bought my ATI Radeon 9200 SE because I didn't need too much video power since I was working with graphic apps.

this is a common misconception. more videoram doesn't mean better performance. it also depends on how well the core was designed. the FX5200 has a shitty, piss poor performing core, where 128mb will make it marginally better than than an FX5200 with 64mb.

you should definitely stick with the GeForce4. that was an amazing core, which actually outperforms the FX5200, FX5500 and FX5600 that replaced it.

You can also call that realistic. I like it, because when he calls something truly great, you know he means it...

And he knocked out my graphic card.

6600 GT it's a good choice IMHO even the 128Mb version, better than a 6600 256Mb non GT
