Hey Guys , I was just kick'n around the idea of switch'n video cards from nVidia to ATI. My rig's specs are as follows:
- AMD 3400xp cpu
- 2048mb DDR2 PC3200 ram
- XFX nVidia 7600gt vidio card ( 8x AGP ) / 256mb DDR3 memory
- 22" ViewSonic WideScreen HD Monitor ( 2ms ) / connected via. a DVI cable
- WindowsXP Pro / service pack 2
To tell you the honest truth, I've been somewhat disappointed with my graphics. I play,
Falcon 4.0,
ChessMaster 9,
Silent Hunter III, and the newly released
Sudden Strike 3.
Falcon 4.0 and
Chessmaster 9 are a-ok.
SH III still has a few Black triangles flickering across the screen on an rare occasion ( external camera underwater mostly ).
GWX 2.1 and using an older video driver has helped, but its not perfect. And it should be ! I have tried every trick in the book, from older drivers, to check'n the DXDiag settings to use'n the recomended setting with
nHancer. Like I said it should be near perfect. My new
Sudden Strike 3, SUCKS ! I've spent all day check'n the forums for answers and read'n about how great this new game is, even on older rigs, with less hourse power then I have. I know that this is a
SH III forum so I don't want to get too deep into
Sudden Strike 3 here, OK. What I'm ask'n here is for a few
opinions as to what ATI video card works GREAT on
SH III, with the above mentioned specs. I'm am advanced computer user and I have come to the conclusion that my current video card is the problem. Its the only thing left. I don't think the XFX 7600gt card is work'n out for me and my exspectations. I don't think it defective just not efective I'm go'n to take the next week or so to research ATI cards and take that info I get and put it together with the suggestions I receive here and make my decision. All suggestions and opionions WELCOME.
Thanx Doolar
