Which is best card

[MJC]

Perhaps some of you NVIDIA gurus can help.

I have a circa 1997 computer running BTV Link. It currently has the original NVIDIA card, a GeForce 2 Ultra.

Could better performance be achieved by swapping it with a GeForce4 MX, of 2003 vintage? The former was probably better quality at the time; the latter was a mainstream card in a Dell.

BTV Link drags the CPU to 60%. Could accelleration be exprected if I swap? Any assistance is appreciated.

Regards,

OK, I saw the specs. It's already working, with the older card.

Can anybody comment, will the newer card work better? Is it worth the effort to swap?

Unless there are noticeable problems with using the GeForce2 then I doubt you will be able to tell a difference by upgrading to the GeForce4.

By noticeable sings I mean, slow frame rate during menu animations, low frame rate in regular playback, etc.

Thanks, jkoon. That's what I was looking for.
