video card update

<< < (2/2)

nstgc:
I want to get this to replace my MSI 9600 GT.

The 8600 GS wasn't particularly impressive when it first came out so it definitely is a worth while upgrade if you have the money.

sapsa:
8800GT + E2180 = 1080p with CoreAVC or w/o depend on bitrate ;)
AC, AC2, Crysis, ME, ME2, Batman AA all playable on high :)
It's super good for me :)

Mayby try 8800GT :) it's very good GPU

BuriaL:
I upgraded from a Sapphire 4870 a while back. Becouse the of the noise level.

Got a HIS 5750 IceQ now, its pretty nice.
Less noise and becouse its smaller than the xx70 cards i could fit another fan in the case.

nstgc:
My problem with the 5750 is that its memory bandwidth is too slow. The biggest difference between teh 5750 and the 5770 is the memory bandwidth. The 5770's VRAM is about 50% faster. The GPU is about 30% faster.

I'd say that's good enough

The 5770 is a bit faster and supports DX11. The 8800GT was a good card, but its time has passed; it doesn't even support DX10.1.
And those games play at 1080p? With all the eye candy + AA? At or above 60 FPS? I doubt it. I had to turn Batman down to 576p with no AA, and some lighting effects turned off to get it to work with even medium PhysX when I had a 9800GT. Just Cause 2 can bring even my GTX 470 down to 15FPS at times, and it crushes the 9800GT.
