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.


Honestly man, I say wait on the upgrade. In high school I used to do the single upgrade thing just cuz thats what I could afford. In the long run it hurts you because you end up buying a bunch of components made from different eras with different technology....and it just won't run the BEST it can. If you can wait 18 months, then make sure you sell your current card and buy just a cheap 512 to get you by. Buying a good motherboard(200), good processor(350-400), good video card(400-1000) all together with similar technology makes WORLDS of a difference. Plus gaming motherboards are upgradable up the wahzu. That's my 2 cents. Sorry if it is disappointing. But you'll LOVE gaming life if you just save up.
I agree, but this XFX 7950GT 512mb is only euro 159
Not that much money if it removes the stuttering in SH-IV
