I want to upgrade my graphic card. Game was running smooth on 29 fps.
Now I use TM1.4 (which include Leo ocean mod).. This for me is a must have.
But my fps dropped to ca. 23 with some light stuttering.

My rig now consist of..
AMD 64 3200+ on Asus K8N socket 754
2 GB ram DDR (400mhz)
XFX 7600 GT 256mb
Windows XP (1280x1024)

I think the vid. card is the (small) problem here.
I have already looked around. The new 8600 series looks crap so far..
I want a card which has good results with AA & AF !

So it's gonna be a 7900 GS (256mb), 7950GT (512mb) or maybe a 8800GT
(still pretty expensive)

The 8800GT is also available in 320mb and 640mb versions.
Is there a lot of difference between those 2 (640 is also 100 euro more expensive)

What would you buy ? or should I upgrade something else ?

Thanks,

Foo
p.s. I want to stay with nvidia !

My rig is almost identical with the same video card, and TM 1.4 had no effect on my fps at all?

Hmm strange.. :hmm:

But still I want to go to a mininum steady 40fps, preferably more :p
At this moment I am still leaning towards the 7950GT..

I am reading some articles, and lots of guys say that the 8800GTS is just slightly
better then a 7950GT on XP !
Next to that I don't know how this 8800 GTS will work with my AMD 64 3200+cpu. :hmm:

I hope it doesn't blow it up

I have a 8800GTS and get a solid 72 FPS inside and outside sub.at 1280 x 1024 All ingame settings maxed Had to upgrade my power supply to 500w. You should have at least 26A on the 12v rail.

E6600 dual core
Asus P5LD2
Ram 667 2GB
8800 GTS 320 MB
