3D-card plz read ones.

[D1990]

i want to buy a new 3d-kaart that can run hl-2 at max settings and at a res. of 1024*768.

i also want good fps in stalker and the battle for middle earth;

my budget is around 300 euro. what should i buy ???

300 euro = 300 dollars

 

[bryanf445]

what are your system specs?

 

[Prone]

300 Euro = 366 Dollars at the moment. Big difference.

Please let us know what the rest of your specs are as HL2 needs a good CPU too (like every modern game )

 

[D1990]

my cpu is fine i think P4 3.0 ghz. 1 gig. DDr333 ram , P4C800-e deluxe

that is it

 

[D1990]

no one ??

 

[bryanf445]

id say just get a 9800 pro ($200) save the rest of the money for a later upgrade, this card runs it on high fine for me,and since you have a better comp it will run better

 

[D1990]

yeah but i want a card that runs hl-2 everything at max with perfect fps in hl-2.

more suggestions??

You nuts ? Wiht 360 USD you can go big league, I would recomend a x800 pro or a 6800 GT.

 

[spin03]

if you have $360, i would save up another 20-30 bucks, and get an ati x800 pro. they are about 400 retail, but you could probably find one online for 375 or so.

 

[D1990]

in the store i HAVE to buy the prices are : 6800 NU 400 euro
6800 GT 500 euro
6800 Ultra 600 euro

i MUST buy in this store.

what do you suggest?

 

[The Terminator]

Buy a radeon 9800 pro 128 mb 256 bit

 

[airoke]

Get 2 6600 GTs.

 

[D1990]

i now have a 9700 pro so ugrading to a 9800 pro wont be a big preformance boost. i want a card of the next generation but i dont know what card of the next generation. plz help ?

@ airoke then i have to buy a new mobo and that is to expensive

thx in andvance for more reply's

 

[reap]

I would recommend 9800 pro 256mb 256bit or 9800 pro 128mb 256bit
but if you want a 6x00 then you have to take 6600 gt or 6800 LE... but I would still recommend 9800 pro

 

[D1990]

but isnt that almost the same as the card that i have now ?

OK, here goes.

A 6600 GT is noticeably faster than a 9800 Pro, and about US$200 over here. So that would be a good upgrade from a 9700 Pro.

The 6800nu is really the cheapest next-generation card out there, though. See, the 6600 GT is fast, but not radically faster than a 5950 Ultra or 9800 XT. There isn't an ATI counterpart for the 6800nu, it is much faster than a 9800 XT and slower than a x800 Pro, and cheaper than either one.

x800 Pro vs. 6800 GT... these cards are usually the same price, their performance in HL2 is really too close to call. I like the 6800 GT because it is faster than the x800 Pro in almost everything else, especially OpenGL and Doom 3 (and thus all the future games using the Doom 3 engine...).

x800 XT vs. 6800 Ultra... these cards are usually the same price, performance is very close in HL2 but the x800 XT is usually faster at the highest settings.

 

[reap]

ok maybe you should take 6600 gt...

 

[Asus]

The only one that would be worth upgrading to would be the 6800GT, X800Pro cards. The 6800 is good too but there are too many times that it performs like a 9800 pro, if I was to justify the price.

The 6600GT and X700XT are also faster than the 9700/9800 cards, but again I would consider it a waste for upgrading.

Now if you sell your 9700 Pro for a good price then that may change all of this.

 

[D1990]

i could sell my 9700 pro for 100 - 120 euro. so if i buy me a 6600 GT it will be a small price for a better card then i have now. a 6800 GT is just to much for me because in the store i HAVE to buy it the price is 500 euro for a GT. and then i also have to buy a new power-suplly of 100 euro so that makes 600 euro.

more opinions ?
