Which Graphics Card should I get?

[ExplosiveGoats]

I got a new video card 8600GT and installed but i searched the web and found the new NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX 512mb, is it better than the 8600 because i was thinking about getting a new computer and installing it to play TDU. :)

[Guest RB26DETT]

yup. 9800gtx is waaaay better than the 8600.

[ExplosiveGoats]

Bit pricey too, but i want to have awesome graphics. Gotta see if i can afford this thing. Also have to get new pc. :(

Well i will be getting the 9800GTX when i get my money for my PC and what a daft question.

[Guest RB26DETT]

if you want something cheaper and better than your 8600, the 8800gt 512mb is the best bang for the buck. i think they go for 190 us dollars now and is also waaaay better than the 8600.

And also don't be put off by the 9800GTX reviews as it has just come out and with time nvidia will bring out new drivers that will further improve the performance of the card.

[ExplosiveGoats]

Alright, I'm going to check out the 8800 GT.

[Guest RB26DETT]

and for a little more moolah, you can get the 8800gts 512mb (G92) which is also better than the 8800gt. ;)

That is the card that i was going to get then I saw the 9800GTX for arounf £20 more

[ExplosiveGoats]

If the 9800 GTX is 20 more or around that nature, i might just the 9800.

Probably better. Can't believe the 9800 GTX is out already!

Its been out for a couple of weeks now and the price has already dropped by about £30

[ExplosiveGoats]

I think i will be getting the 9800, ordering later. :)

[Camel]

Before you order the card make sure it will fit in your PC as the card is about 275mm long.

[ExplosiveGoats]

Alright

[Guest RB26DETT]

9900gtx in july!

[Guest ShiZzl3]

8800gt

[ExplosiveGoats]

[Guest RB26DETT]

I dont think there is any single card that is out yet that could play crysis in DX10, 4xAA, full HD resolution with all settings on very high. I think that 3 of these cards may be able to do that but not easily, crysis will make your PC cry.

[Guest RB26DETT]

what settings are you playing crysis on, mellors? :)

 

maybe the 9900gtx will do the trick. ;)

I havnt got the parts to build my PC yet but the current system i play crysis on has 4GB DDR2 RAM, AMD 3800+ x2, and 2 7600GS 512MB in SLI and i can just about play with no AA 1024x 768 and almost all settings on medium.

[ExplosiveGoats]

Thanks for the heads up :) Might just stick with TDU

[Camel]

when i build mine i will be overclocking it and i will use the crysis benchmark tool and post what settings i can use with the FPS
