Fed up with tweaking my nVidia 8800GTX

kiwi_2005 · 03-22-10, 02:26 PM

I brought a Sapphire Radeon HD4650 1024MB ($185) a month ago and what a godsend! This card is a beast compare to what i had before. Always been a nvida fan but since seeing this card work on a mates computer i went out and got one. Now me pc can render like it should, not like before it would stutter every 10 seconds when editing a vid in camtasia studio. Excellent gaming card as well.

I'm really happy with my 275 GTX, I had been using ATI boards since the 9800 but I like the new nvidia cores.

Ya know... I think that a 8800GTX should run this game good, I myself have a 8800gts that runs crysis (yea, its always brought up) around 20 to 30 FPS average, but Sh5 runs like s*** when im inside the control room!
I blame it on the game for the issues, they didnt optimise the game good enough, I was getting almost 90 FPS in the prior SH games inside... but I get 5 to 10 if that in 5, I think they could have done a MUCH better job with the inside... (only had 1 room being generated at a time.)

I know I payed about 300$ for my 8800, and I dont wouldnt want to go out just to buy a card that is out now. I think id stick with what you have and wait for the newer cards from Nvidia (If you are going Nvidia) comeing out for DX 11 (depending on how much $$$ they will be), so you dont have to upgrade soon. Even if you arnt gonna use DX11 I read there surspose to be give better performance also.
