I’ve been chomping at the bit to upgrade to PCI-e for quite some time now….My upgrade fever as gotten worse since I have been reading on these forums… I will need a new GPU and mobo and make use of the rest of my current system.
I am seriously looking at the Connect3D X1900 XT-X at just £319.95 +VAT. which Gibbo as cruelly been pimping about
Initially I was thinking of just an X190XT but for the low price on the Connect3D, might as well go for the XT-X.
I was going to hang on for another month to see what Nvidea's G71 is saying (most probably something like "sell your daughters kidney to buy me...
) but I am not so sure now...
I run a Dell 24" LCD panel and ideally would like to game as close as I can to it’s 1920x1200 native resolution with decent minimum and average frame rates.
I am not sure about what path to take with the motherboard either.
If anyone could give me some pointers and advice on the Connect3D X1900 XT-X (is it any good? noisy? warranty last more than a week? etc), and mobo (new/better chipsets on the horizon? I need something stable and good for overclocking with half-decent on-board sound chip), I would very much appreciate it.
My current system: Opty [email protected], Freezer 64, 2 gig PC4000 OCZ Platinum EB, Asus A8V mobo, X800XT PE GPU, Maxtor SATA 250gig 16mb cache (just bought a Maxtor SATAII for new system which I will use as master and other HD for back ups etc), CD and DVD burners and Dell 24" LCD.
Cheers!
