I wonder, going off topic, what would be the best graphic card to get. Im thinking of upgrading out of my 8800 gts 640mb.

errr my system is

e8400 3.0ghz

3 gigs of ram

vista 64 bit

8800gts 640mb

650 watt BFG power supply.

Im not realy too happy with this 8800 gts.

I would say the HD4870, not very costly but very good.

Is your 8800 gts not good to play games on high settings or in online fights?

my old pc is almost 8 years: Pentium 4 CPU 1.9o GHz
clockspeed 1.90 GHz 1,00 GB
virtual memory 1024 MB
7800 GS
the only game i can play decent is Il2 sturmovik offline, even GWX is a desaster

My 8800 works good for most of my games, and it can play things like the Crysis demo, and sh3 (at around 200fps with gwx) pretty good, but for some reason, It sucks at Sh4, and im pretty sure its gonna do the same thing at SH5. (this computer also has good and bad days, some days it runs faster than others.)

for some reason, the 8800 has had issue with SH4 since it came out. Not sure why.

Think about moving up to the 9800. Nice prices out there. I would not consider a card any lower than the 9800. Just a thought.
