GFX for 1024 x 768?

Sparky · 27 Jun 2007 at 22:56

Obviously i dont need a 2900xt or a 8800 Ultra but play the odd game of BF2 and play a lot of HD files.

Suggestions in the 100 -150 area please.

The HD files are played at a different res closer to 1600 x 900

X1950Pro would be the best choice or an 8800GTS 320Mb

.

You proberbly could find an X1950Pro for udner £100 aswell.

That for 117 would be good enough, nice overclocker too.

8800GTS 320Mb easily.

I doubt you will see any diff from a gtx at ypur resolution.

Does the x1950 support HD?

I aint sure, allthough it says HDCP ready, dunno if thats got anything to do with HDMi.

Sparky · 27 Jun 2007 at 23:17

Think that means it can, my 7600GT was HDCP compliant and managed it so the x19** range should be better or not?

Well I'm sure an X1950 will deffenitly be better

Sparky · 27 Jun 2007 at 23:20

x1950 it is then.Thanks for the help.

would advise you get the fastest card you can currently afford. even a 2900 or gtx is not enough for 1024x768 in some games with all details at max.
if you want some examples of game please do reply, but im sure by now the majority of forum users know what games im on about.

He speaks truth, there are some games that wont run @ 1024 maxed on a 1950...

Sparky · 27 Jun 2007 at 23:32

I only ever play BF2 and the odd game of CSS if im bored.

Cyber-Mav · 27 Jun 2007 at 23:35

also if you are playing on a low rez like 1024x768, wouldn;t you like to be able to use 16xAA to get rid of all the jaggies?

Sparky · 27 Jun 2007 at 23:40

TBH it never bothered me.I played CS from a Beta in 1999 and my viewpoint was that if you had time to look at the pretty textures you were dead and crap

snowdog · 27 Jun 2007 at 23:43

K , well for CSS and Bf2, a 1950 is definatly enough, enjoy it

What games bring a 2900 or GTX to its knees at 1024x768? :confused:

Sparky · 27 Jun 2007 at 23:45

Thanks i will let you know how i get on. Running the higher res for HD files wont cause it to slow to a crawl will it?

HD Files? As in Movies or you planning on gaming on a high res HD monitor too at like 1080P?

Sparky · 27 Jun 2007 at 23:53

No my monitor is a 50" Sony lcd.The native res for VGA is 1024 x 768 [this is what i play games at] When i switch to HDMI i can run at a lot higher res.1900x **** or whatever
