Title: Oh my, I need a new video card...But, which one to get?
Post by: diEsoOn on July 08, 2005, 06:56:09 PM: What I have right now is 5700le, force me to turn off lots of staff, no spray, no dead bodies...and still lots lag when ppl got close and move fast..

But which new one I should go? 6600 / 6600GT / 6800 / X700 / X800 or just 9800pro ? Need ur opinion, guys...

Post by: diEsoOn on July 08, 2005, 08:22:24 PM: Oh, really, how could u know that? I use AMD 64 2800+.

Post by: xTc the NJ GUIDO on July 08, 2005, 11:19:22 PM: well when the processor runs at 85 degrees celcius, im pretty sure its not optimized for performance, and all that heat it is putting into the case isnt that good for it either, the video card is just blowing hot air into its gpu. In the winter when i played with my windows opened, i got 100 fps in 1.6 all the time.

Diesoon, go for the 6800. You can pick one up for around 250 usd. the 6800 has higher mem bandwidth, etc. check out http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=92068 the 7800 is out, and is the best right now, but ATi is coming out with their trump card (lol) at the end of the summer. Those high end card are really expensive.. ... ...
