Ok, this past weekend I tried (i really do mean tried) to play Far Cry on my new AMD 64 3200+ equipped system still using a the ATI AiW 8500DV. Man, what a blow to the game. As soon as I jumped into the game I was disappointed with the graphics. My card could not keep up and even after turning up all the graphics, it just crawling.
So now I am looking to buy a new ATI card. I chose the AiW line of cards because I am into video editing and still have quite a bit of stuff on tape. Plus I like being able to watch TV. I am thinking about the AiW 9800 Pro, but I wanted to know if anyone had heard of ATI releasing a new line of AiW cards. I assume I will need at least 128MB of ram if not more. I am thinking about getting the card some time in September around my Bday...so I have plenty of time to look.
Should I go with a AiW card or go with a gaming card and seperate ATI tv tuner? Any suggestions?!?
