Hi,
My local shop has mostly Zotac and Gigabye video cards.
The ones in my price range are the nVidia GeForce 9500GT 512MB DDR3, the same thing with DDR2 memory, and Gigabye GeForce 9500GT 512MB DDR2 or DDR3.
First of all are these cards any good?
Is the DDR3 worth paying extra for and is the 9500GT a good card?
Does anyone happen to know if this will work with drm on FreeBSD (my Intel G33 chipset isn't supported by 7.1 RELEASE although somebody said it is supported in CURRENT.)
The card is for use with Linux, FreeBSD, or Solaris on a Core 2 Duo box with 4G RAM and a 22 inch screen that can only do 1680x1050. I'm not a gamer, but I would like good graphics. My G33 chipset does an ok job on everything but Solaris now, which doesn't recognize it. The fonts are not displaying that great on FreeBSD current although most everything else looks pretty good.
The shop has a Zotac GeForce 6200 256M for about half the price but I didn't see any good reviews for it. Is this a good card?
Thanks,
Rand
