i was thinking about getting the 8800gts, caus i can stretch to £200, but then was wondering, i will no for another 2 years need a dx10 card, so was wondering what was the best dx9 card.... one that can run most games at 1024x768 at high settings, esp c+c3 and unreal2004. i saw this, http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-067-HT&tool=3 would it be alright?
y would u wait 2 years? halo 2 for dx10 is coming out next month anyways u could also wait a month to buy one of ati dx10 cards or wait one month and buy the nvidia 8800gts cheaper
well i wont e getting vista for another 2 years, so i guess i wont be getting dx10? plus, my max resolution, that i think is still good looking enough(without making me squint) is 1024 x 768, so i don't need the most upto date card to run games at high level on that resolution would i?
well waiting for vista 2yrs is a bit much but anyways paying a bit more 4 this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-021-EA will make all ure games play at high and if u change ure mind about moving to vista u wont have a prob heres how i see it if u buy the ati 140£ then decide to buy the 8800gts 185£ u would have to sell the ati at 100£ then pay 85£ more so in total u wouldve wasted 140+85= 225£ if u just buy the 8800gts now u would only b wasting 185
yeah, i understand, btu i only need a grapohics card for 1024 x 768, so really woudlnt i be wasting money buying the 8800gts?
think about the future u could b walking and find a nice 19" lcd on the floor one day or u could simply buy one in the future cause u will need one
well, i will be going to uni soon, so thinking about the future needs to be cheao, so i am trying to save as much as possible
dude buy the card if ure thinking of the future in 2yrs ure gonna b broke ure gonna find a copy of vista and a friend is gonna give u a copy of crysis for a bday gift all ure gonna need is the 8800gts
Good Direct X 9 GPU is the Radeon X1950, its the best you will find and a lot cheaper then the 8800......
