hey guys,

i will be satisfied by 800*600 with good qualities of a game

.....but do you think i can get that with ati radeon 9200 se as a replacment for my ......nvidia Geforce MX 4000....?????????

SunnyGTiR · Post by **SunnyGTiR** » 26 Oct 2004, 00:51

depends what the rest of your comp parts are, i have a 9200, and run at 800x600 with most of the details on med/high( the ones that matter any way)

Robert · Post by **Robert** » 26 Oct 2004, 04:20

actually,the rest components are good...intel pentium 4 2.8G.H.
512DDR ram......i guess they are fine.....

i have just one more question:
can i enable the motion blur ,light trails,headlights and crowds under 800/600 in 9200se or not...ofcourse without making the game run very slow !

SunnyGTiR · Post by **SunnyGTiR** » 26 Oct 2004, 06:33

i dont have crowds/light trails on, 9200 is getting old, u might also consider x300 or 9600

i think u shud get a R9550, tis one is cheap yet perform better than 9200.
and dun get SE version, no good.

i think can get a R9550 XT, it cost around US$110+, i think
i may get it next year

Hey guys,i just downloaded new nVidia driver 61.77,and my performances are 30% up!Doom 3 is running in 40 fps instead of 30,on high details with 1024x768 res!
And i have an old GeF 4200Ti 128 LM...

Dragster · Post by **Dragster** » 31 Oct 2004, 12:30

If you have a Ati card, you have to get Omega drivers; I have radeon 9000pro and Doom3 runs with full details (on 640*480, but still !) on 36 average fps(fpsScrapper)... With stock (:D) drivers I ran it on 22 fps average. THEY RULE

my card is geforce fx 5200 and ram 256,p4 1.7 but my proplem is in the cach memory it is 128 so almost all the games are slow.what shall i do???????

thunderbolt · Post by **thunderbolt** » 10 Nov 2004, 02:49

well, my first suggestion would be to get as little background programs as possible to reduce to strain on your memory. then make all the visual settings on your games as low as possible. if that doesnt work, then your system is long overdue for and upgrade dude

BTW...if u use WinXP, thats a real ram hog, so u might need more ram

i need some advice.. im gonna buy a new vid card.. i have a few choices.. i can get a WinFast A300 Ultra TD MyVIVO (fx5800 it has 128GDDR2 ram), a fx5900xt, a radeon 9600xt 256ram, or radeon 9800pro 256 ram?? what do you think i shudl get.. i can get the WinFast A300 Ultra TD MyVIVO for under 100 dollars..

Dragster · Post by **Dragster** » 11 Nov 2004, 22:27

Well, the best card is the fx5900, but I would buy the radeon 9800pro coz I simply like radeons.
But if you can get the fx 5800 under 100dollars, buy it. It depends what are you planing to play in every case

PSZeTa · Post by **PSZeTa** » 11 Nov 2004, 22:44

Take the Radeon Pro. The 5900 IS the most powerful one, but you are talking about the XT version, which is the weakened one, and the same as I have. But it's the best card for it's price IMO.

EmptyWords · Post by **EmptyWords** » 14 Nov 2004, 09:58

well it all depends no if my card is gonna sell.. which i doubt. so i guess im stuck with my crappy fx5700le

boganbusman · Post by **boganbusman** » 14 Nov 2004, 10:01

Guys/gals,... tell me what you think..
Bout the graphics..

Comments are welcomed..

boganbusman · Post by **boganbusman** » 29 Nov 2004, 02:36

It would look much better if you used some AA (or whatever you call it).

Better than my PC anyway . . .

thunderbolt · Post by **thunderbolt** » 29 Nov 2004, 04:11

wow, i can actually read the words on the signposts from that far away!!! not with my gfx chip, i dont see a single letter on a sign until i drive right up to it.

Kilkenny · Post by **Kilkenny** » 29 Nov 2004, 11:12

Looks nice, but does the game run smoothly? I did my graphics like that but at some points my pc slows down
