Hello, I usually don't make threads here. There's FAQs, stickies, and the likes to help you find a video card. I just want to know what your opinions are.
Here's the story, I recently sold my X1800XT 512MB because I wanted a X1950Pro, but had second thoughts, and needed money for Christmas to buy presents for people. However, on Jan 1st, I'll be getting my paycheck and combine that with some leftover money. I'm currently borrowing a friend's X800 128MB, but he'll want it back soon. So for now, DX10 stuff (hardware and games) won't be that good until 1 year later, so I need something to keep me sane. My power supply is plenty for the cards listed in the poll, it's a 460W Vantec that has 30A and one PCI-E plug. It never struggled when I had the X1800XT. My monitor is a Sceptre X20-NagaIII 20.1" LCD w/ DVI, and I play a lot of Source games and as well BF2. I gotta say, the X800 sure does pretty well at 1680x1050 with 2xAA in BF2 and CS:S, so something better than that might be just plenty enough for me. I mostly don't care about AA or AF, as long as I can get good FPS above 20 most of the time. EDIT: I play a lot of Oblivion too.
Allright, vote away, and if you picked Other, please explain why. Thanks!
