Well the everchanging video card industry has another new king - now it's the GeForce GTS (GeForce II). Nothing else is really even worth considering, unless price is a concern. In that case, another of Nvidia's cards will do nicely (a TNT2 or TNT2 Ultra). '3Dfx' does have their new VooDoo 5500 and 6000 aswell. It looks like these cards still don't beat the GeForce in raw speed (despite being so power hungry they require their own power supply), but 3Dfx surprisingly now hold the edge in image quality. Is it that much better? That's tough to decide. My recommendation is currently for the GeForce 2, which is easier to get your hands on
.
Here is a site that has some good info on cards....
