whats a good graphics card? (1 Viewer)

[SashatheMan]

i got a p4 3.06 ghz, 512mb ram

i dont need anything too high-tech... i guess something which can support doom 3 would be good enough. Something which can handle some of the new games out.

I'm really trying to stick around the $200 budget, dont want to spend too much just for a graphics card.

are you a chick? and are u a hot chick? and are u a hot chick who plays video games?

i only know 1 hot chick that plays video games. i hope u can join that list.

Also, which is the best brand for the 6600GT?

also, here's something interesting: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=70875&item=5214369697&rd=1

Asus has an extreme version of 6600GT, which can go over 3500 in 3DMark05.

If you want to play Doom 3 at native resolution on a LCD (ie 1024 or 1280), 6600GT or X700 is probably the lowest cards that can do so at a comfortable frame rate. Although you can play at lower resolutions, which will look bad on a LCD, or disable effects, but that ruins the experience of playing Doom 3/HL2 etc.

And Doom 3 seems to be a bad example. Something that can play Doom 3 well can play any game I know of well (except Perimeter).

Good choice!

I have a 9800, it's great. Case gets hot in summer, but it's too small for all my components :\

but it’s too small for all my components :\

I wouldn’t have thought that would have been a problem with you.

 

[MedNez]

I suppose that's better than having tiny components in a giant case

At least the air flow may be better.

 

[MedNez]

Indeed, a hot stuffy case could damage my 9800.

If you have any more problems, just ring me. Or even better, I will ring you.

whats MSY , does it have a site.


and yeh i know ATI makes Radeon. so that means ATI is a company and Radeon is the brand of the card?

 

[MedNez]

Yep. ATI (the company) make the radeon series.

Nvdia (the company) made the TNT serious, geforce, et cetera

A good graphics card would be something which can run Battlefield 2 on maximum graphical settings and still be smooth such as a Nvidia's 7800GTX or ATi's upcoming N520
