PC Configuration...

[@FOX#] · 10-16-2004, 02:53 AM

HEllo! Sorry for this Topic...but i want to know if my computer will run with future games (at good-best quality) because i saw in internet lot of user with AMD 64..1or2 Gb of ram an more.... :

AMD Athlon Xp "barton" 3200+ @ 2.3Ghz
PSU 400W
Asus A7N8x-x
512 Mb DDR @ 333Mhz (PC2700)
GeForce 4 Ti4200 AGP8X 64 DDR
SB Audigy
Win XP Pro

I'm wainting for an Nvidia GeForce 6800GT.... So with this videocard, Do I need to upgrade the CPU?? I hope no....

For the best gaming, Do i Have to add another 512 MB DDR slot?

Many THanks

u dont really have to upgrade ur cpu as amd is good for gaming but i dunno everyone getting amd64 because mostly for gaming.

adding another 512MB ram and a 6800GT will run pretty much any game out there now at high/highest settings quite well

[@FOX#] · 10-16-2004, 03:12 AM

ok...i'll upgrade the Ram...thank you

6800 would be ok but i would rather go with an x800 since nvidia hasnt updated their drivers for god knows how long and has a little issues with some games and lags a little in Call of duty.

I dono, I have a 9600XT and I *DREAD* every time a new set of ATI drivers come out because 1/2 of the time my system becomes a lot more unstable with random reboots, crashes ,etc.
In fact, the last 2 new drivers i've installed for my ATI card have caused me real grief. I really miss the nvidia detonator drivers as for years on end I never had a situation where my machine was messed up because of them.

My next card most likely will NOT be ATI.

I disagree i would indeed get the 6800 gt why?

my brother has the x800 pro

the 6800 gt blows away the x800 when running Doom3 and they updated thier drivers just a little while ago and theres no need to update now thats why theres not a new one. Ati on the other had to update cause there cards were falling behind in proformance ecspecialy with doom 3 when it first hit the street.

ATi's X800XT is neck and neck with the 6800GT in Doom3 now.
and pwns it in all other games.

Anyhow.. on ATi vs Nvidia..

If u have the money.. the best high end card is the X800XT.. all initial and recent benchmarks from multiple sources are showing it up top.

The best affordable card is the X700(which is still being shipped), for $150.

anywhere between there (6800GT, 400 bucks., 6200, 100-120) its nvidia.

True true, but i was talking about the x800 pro not xt, the 6800 GT blows away the x800 pro, i know this for a fact.

not trying to start anything sepht.

lol... pr0cs has u all confused and mislead about who I am, i don't troll, flame, or start shit with people. anyhow..

yes the GT is better then the pro. I stated that... its a pretty clear cut choice.
500 or more X800 XT PE

400 6800GT

150 X700(its perormance is pretty great considering its 150 bucks)

<100 6200

The other cards are all just wasted money.. they are good. but these are the only ones that really are worth their prices and they are their catagory leaders.
