Recommend a Graphics Card

[Food_Fight!]

So, I am going to get a new graphics card. But I want to get a good one and am willing to spend a little bit of money....not a ton but some. Based off my cpu specs what would you say I should get?

AMD ATHLON 64 3700+ 939PIN
2-512MB PC3200 PC400 DDR
ASUS A8N-SLI NF4 SLI PCI-E
XMIDIA GF 6800XT 256MB PCI-E (This is my Current Card)

 

[ELF {RD}]

i have an nVidia GeForce 7700 with SLI technology it works great because it is two graphics cards connected and its 512mb

 

[Food_Fight!]

You have two 7700s? Or one graphics card...is it a PCI-E? What frame rate do you get? Settings in DoD? Thanks for the reply ELF.

BFG 8800 GS OC 512 is a good one but very $$$

 

[Meisster -I|G-]

with your current system probly a NVidia 7900 GT

i have a NVidia 7950 GT 512mb SLI. its a great card love it!!! im going to be getting another one soon.

 

[Food_Fight!]

What frame rate should I expect with the 7950? How does it handle in a big firefight with many players on the screen?

[Food_Fight!]

Is this a better card than the 7950?

I hate how the number of the card completely throws me. I don't want to spend more than $250 on it.

this is the one i bought

 

[Don]

what power supply do you have? min on this is like 400w
OCZ GameXStream 750w its nice !

 

[Food_Fight!]

I'm not sure what power supply I have. I'd just assume it's poopie. So you're saying this is the card to get eh?

 

[Don]

if your going to upgrade your Vid card. you might have to upgrade your power supply cause with out enough power your comp will crash during games.

 

[Don]

im going to buy another one cause i have sli even though one is good enough

8600GT

 

[Food_Fight!]

I actually decided on the 8600 GTS.
