Hi, As of today and an unforunate 'accident', my 6600GT is out of action.
soo, im in the market for a new graphics card....
The 6600GT was great, but im after more grunt. My budget is pritty low, but i can save. The setup is 'greed' in my sig. I have just bought some Mushkin ram to go in that to replace the kingston. My cpu is good for 2.7Ghz, depending on bios. Im hopping the TCCD bios will do a good job with that. D43 dosn't like it. At the Very least im running 2.53Ghz core stable daily.
As far as i can tell my options are this, as i have AGP.
6600GT ($230AUD) 6800GS(~$350AUD) 7800GS(~$490AUD)
This rig will be my main gaming center for some time, at least untill mid-end of next year after AM2 has been around for a while and upgrade market is a little clearer.
My quiestion is this, if i was to save a little and then get a 7800gs, would my pc even be fast enough to ensure i got its full potential? Is it a worthwhile card getting?
Uletimately i would be happy with a 6600GT again, but i killed mine in an attept to get more performance from it. I want to play oblivion with good graphics. I don't game much above 1024x768, desktop it 1152, but increasing this res would not be an issue
One more thing (dare i say it), might it be worth while looking at ATI's range of agp cards. Ive never own an ATI, but if the performance is good, then ill be tempted.
