This belongs in tech help I think, or OTL

I have a 'GeForce 8800GTS' according to the video card box poking out form under my best. It's pretty awesome, but has some heat issues. -_-;

Isn't that like one of the newer graphics card out in the market?

I have a Geforce FX 5200 (Yes I know, it's old).

GeForce 8800 GTX SLI

**sli = 2 of the card

, hehehehe, £400 (around $800) of graphics card.

but, it mops the floor with any, and i mean any other graphics card, and it will be able to run new games for atleast a couple years.

it is seriously worth the huge price tag. cos if you buy a mid range card for £100ish, it wont work on newer performance games that come out.

I still have a 7800 gt but if I can get a job this fall semester, I'll save up for a 8800 gts unless I want to go to Vietnam next summer in which I'll have to save up for the ticket. =)

serisouly guys. those of you want new cards.

look into the gigabyte geforce 6600 gt 128mb (not the 256mb, its slower)

its about £60-80 now, and is still awsome, i have one in my other pc, and can run cs:s on full graphics and battlefield 2 on full everything except shadows

I used to have nVIDIA FX 5200 too, but then I changed to RADEON X800 GTO (256MB, 256Bit).
Also added 1GB ram (now 1.5gb) and it still laggs on high.

Then you have very low RAM probably like 512mb.

I had a 5200 FX like when sro went beta and I did fine on high with 1 GB RAM, recently upgrade my vid card to a 8600-ULTRA and 4GB ram.... runs perfectly + more.

My graphics are integrated RAMDAC, 256 MB, runs perfectly fine on high with 2gigs of ram.

In mid January of 06' I could run shadows on high with a 5200 FX.

I guess shadows has more to do with your RAM. To solve many, many of sro's problems I'd recommend getting a block of RAM for like 40$ instead of spending 300$ on a GFX card.

theres no point going Sli with the 8800 GTX yet

theres no processor that can handle its speed... so it gets bottlenecked

so im still waiting to use my second 8800 -.-'

downloaded one from site which occasionally causes my game to crash with a bunch of question marks wondow coming up

i have geforce 7900 can run on max settings but can only turn on detailed shadows when in an area with a low population

has anyone else noticed if you turn on detailed shadows at ice or caves you still get lags but no shadows are displayed

^^, depends, thats if your running quad core. lol.

but, quad core isnt all its cracked up to be, i have it, all you really can do is multi task even faster

(i can run, firefox, media player, silkroad, msn, xfire, aim, and all my av/firewall spyware programs at the same time

)

2 years of combined pc building ^_^, and the wonders of working in a pc shop. lol (its good money seeing as were the only one for about 30 miles around)
