Question How out of date is....

[Jupitus]

..... my 7600 GT? I cant remember when I got it and I'm out of touch with the latest, but is it dire or not so bad? Thanks

It's definetly started to show it's age, will probably last another year or so tho, but any high details in newer games is something you can just forget

Still not a bad budget card, and I'd probably not turn my nose up at it in a laptop. Just sold a 7900GS for £20 but that's more todo with the low price of the new cards.
End of the day if it stills works and does the job, don't complain

I had the same card, and upgraded to the 8800GT a year ago, and noticed a large difference.

Then again I'm a gfx/eye candy whorebag.

Well I saw a 9800 GT (I think) in Maplins for just under a ton and it got me thinking... getting slowdown in Warhammer PVP... ok guys - what's a good newer card for around a ton please?

 

[Kryten]

ATI HD4850 should suit you for around £105

I've got the 8800GT Jup and I see slow downs in WAR RvR too so I think the game engine itself is to blame for some of it.

I'm sure you're right, but now I have the Mrs playing her character and loving the game I have an excuse to buy one

Ooo does she need some special newbie attention?

She's a higher level than me already

She's a higher level than me already

I'm saying nothing about that statement!

I think I'm going to hug that quote for a long time.

I also have this card but I think my motherboard only has AGP...which is dire really.

When the credit crunch is over I'll get a new PC!
