johnlove Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 (edited) @mikejudo at 19 and 1280x1024 man you're good with the gts oc.... you don't need the sli... if you go sli..get a 30incher with 2560 x 1600 resolution... With a c2d 6750 + 2 gig ram + 8800gt, you could already play crysis with all quality setting set on 'high' on a 19 monitor with the resolution set at 1280x1024.

hondacity Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 will spend my money wise bro, will follow your advice and wait for newer and faster vcard, along with mainboard and monitor.will not buy 3870 X2 though, when will the 9800 be released? bro my 19" is only 1440X900 resolution. some say march 11....for the gtx and end of march for the gx2 man thats a wide screen...ouch..heheheh i just downloaded 3dmark06 at bjorn3d.com ...15minutes worth....try that... not the 3870 x2 ? why not? its the fastest single card solution at the moment...unless you find an 8800 ultra...

Although the processor would create a bottleneck for any video cards above 1950 pro.1950 pro - you can play most games at 1280x960 on high 1650xt - you can play most games at 1024x768 on highprices for agp video cards are normally a bit higher(about 1 to 2T) than pcie. For now, dd2 memory is cheap compared (about half the price) to other types of memory, if possible add it up to 2gig. You will spend about 6 to 10T for the upgrade. If you are not in a hurry to play Crysis, Supreme Commander, World in Conflict, Call of Duty 4, at high settings, then go ahead with the upgrade. Quote Link to comment
