Have u tried fear....

Anyways ur right...but I doubt u can play with many graphic options
turned on....

I haven't tried fear yet

But the performance of your comp, and graphics options don't depend on the gfx card only.
I mean I alway dust my comp's inside, scan for viruses, ads and check my processors heating....these are radically influence your comp's performance, oh and in comparison I have a quite good power supply

I have an X700 Pro with an AMD64 and 1GB of RAM, and I cannot run FEAR on ultra-high quality textures with FSAA and AF turned up over 2x. FEAR is among the most graphics and physics intensive game around today, and if your system can run FEAR flawlessly, you should be set for quite a few years.

So what kind of graphics card you need depends on what kind of games you will be playing, what your current hardware specs are, and how much you're willing to spend.

i can run fear at moderate to moderate high settings so carbon should be a piece of cake

Processor temperature is only radically affecting your performance when it starts to throttle (lowering clockspeed or less instructions per clock) it so it doesn't overheat. Then we're talking about 65 degrees Celcius or so, which depends on the chip.

What powersupply do you have then?

Textures aren't really hard for a graphics card, but when it starts doing intensive things like anti aliasing, it's indeed gonna have a hard time.

When you upgrade, you should try going for the best or the model directly behind it. nVidia will dish out some new 7 series like the 7950GT, which will go for around 300 dollars. You shouldn't slowly upgrade and upgrade, you'll be doing that forever that way because you're making slow progress and having a hard time to keep up with current and future games.

I've got a 600V power supply, I think it's good

600V?? How are you still alive?

shiznit, I'm not good at hardware. 600V is written on zhe back of the power supply

Post by **Pabl0z** » 03 Sep 2006, 15:46

I bet it says 600W.

ROFL, really, stupid me, sorry

I just saw V in the dark, but I checked it out with the lights turned on

guys plz get back to the topic! i want to know that i have 256 mb memory and the gpxcard will have either 128 or 256 mb of memory so will most wanted run at good framerates with all settings on such as vsual treament etc. or excluding high settings (actually i dont know which gpx card will be installed but i know its memory only) AND REPLY QUICKLY BECAUSE MY PC HAs ALREADY BEEN SENT FOR WORK!!!!!!!

t3ice · Post by **t3ice** » 05 Sep 2006, 13:23

Dude...get a Nvidia 6 series gpx card...NOT A 6200!!!!!...but any other....
And Ram is not as important as compared to the gpu on the card.
Since u are asking only for a gpx card.

We've given you enough advice already.

hey everyone, the time has come! i have bought a SPHHIRE ATI RADEON 9250 64 bit 128 mb of memory! i would like to make some points here-

1) many of you suggested to go for a geforce 6800gt 6800 or the 6600 etc, some said about other upgrades and some even said to buy a new computer! but i want to tell ya'll that the gpx card that i bought is able to return SUPERB FPS even if all settings in every nfs is turned to high but without anti aliasing but so what, i can get all gpx settings such as visual treatment and likes except the rain effect its all good afterall!

2) i got a shoking discovery the the gpx card i had by default was not a 64 mb card! it was an 8 mb card

but still i was able to run most wanted and i must say that the card returned good fps but its very strange

3) the cost of this card is below 50$!!

4) overall i want to say that if you have a processor of around 1.80 ghz and 256 ram, no need to sink money in a top of the gfx card take a card like mine for cheap and you will be set

5) i know that most of you suggested for a geforce but i couldnt buy it because it was not compatible with my motherboard

Thank You Everyone who posted in this forum and helped me with their valuable info. and i request ya'll to plz see my gallries and plz comment on them

9250?

Man, that card is like prehistoric. But you ain't cool without AA.

As long as you're happy with it though.

..anyways congratz...

i seriously doubt that.. but ok, if it works.. good

reputated wrote:i got a shoking discovery the the gpx card i had by default was not a 64 mb card! it was an 8 mb card

that can actually be set in the bios and if it was set to 8... well thats even worse than 64 XD

if you want to be with mediocre stuff thats crap the moment you buy it... then yeah, you're all set

that is seriously the biggest BS i ever heard

No ..it might have been PCI-Express ...rather than the usual AGP
So it quite a possibility

darknight788 · Post by **darknight788** » 08 Sep 2006, 21:21

im conmfused which is better PCI or AGP i think PCI is older isnt it

PSZeTa · Post by **PSZeTa** » 08 Sep 2006, 21:36

PCI Express -> AGP -> PCI

yep but that is something totally different... geforces come on agp too... the way he posts it.. its nonsense

t3ice is right

it is a pci express card i forgot to mention it and the card i bought is old but its performance is superb,and its NOT MEDICORE! and by the way t3ice, yael, PSZeTa, skyline man and darknight 788 and everyone else are my buddies for life
