1950 for CS:S

[bigredshark]

Guys,

I've finally decided to build myself a nice new desktop. Primarily I'll be using it for development and testing and it'll run linux while I'm doing that.

But every so often I'd like to fire up CS:S for some fun, so I need to find a cheapish graphics card which will run CS:s fine.

I'm fancying getting a dell 24" screen, so it'll need to be a pretty powerful card I guess but I don't want to spend £300 on a 8800. So will a 1950 run it ok on that kind of screen res and if not what will?

CPU will likely be a E6750 I reckon at the moment

Cheers!

Should be ok, faster than my 7800GT which handles 1680x1050, 4xAA fine.

CSS is all about cpu power and your cpu looks pretty good

It'll run css easily on the highest settings at that res.

i run css on a 1950 with max details and i only game at 1280x1024 but get 100fps absolute minimum pretty much unles on a mad 32 man server lol. sooo even with a frame rate drop due to higher res i think you will be ok
