3D labs Oxygen Vid Card!!

[jspangler]

Woo Hoo!!

I just replaced my Nvidia TNT2 Vid Card with the 3dlabs Oxygen card ( which I got for $99, thanks Jay - Cad Cam), and OMYGOD.

What a F****N DIfference.

If you are still using a video card designed for games, do yourself a favor and invest in this card. I haven't crashed since, and everything looks and works just SO much better.

 

O'yeah, P3-1000, 256 ram, Win 2K Pro, MC8.1.1 with SOLIDS!!

 

Thanks Again

Glad it worked out good for you.

Did you set it for Solid works. That worked for me.

Jay,

 

How can I get a card for $99.00?

[JS]

Just go to 3Dlabs website and look for referbished cards. That is what they sell them for.

It's no wonder your video stunk. TNT2 is for games like solitare is a game. It is 5 generations back. I have an Nvidia GeForce 2 MX400 64Mb and it is working just fine with MC8 and Catia V5. It is 2 generations old. I am looking to upgrade to GeForce 4 TI4200 $149 at Newegg.com. Oxygen is old too, but $99 is a decent price for it. Here are links to reviews for high end graphics cards.
