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 ?

If you're dead set on your AMD (it was my old one and very nice) then I'd say the 640 8800GT. If you're flexible on the processor/mobo i'd switch to a socket with a higher transfer rate. LGA 775 is great for games. Plus it supports AMD single, intel single, and intel multi core processors (very upgradeable). ALSO...be sure that the card you are buying does not project in DX10. Unless you're willing to upgrade to vista, some people make the mistake of buying a card with Vista drivers on it(who knows why).
If you need anymore more help, or want system specs on how to max out the game, just message me. I've been testing SH4 and SH3 on video cards all year. |
For now I am pretty much fixed.. I have socket 754 which is pretty much out of the market. No real big upgrades are available. So for now the processor stays.
I don't have the money to change all..
The 640 8800 GTS is real nice, but also expensive (300 euro is really max)
What is your thought on the 7950GT ?
I was thinking of buying that one, and replace the cpu, mobo, memory and an 8800 in about 18 month. For now the upgrade is only for SH-IV.
I think the 8800 will be a lot cheaper then.
