Hi, ok so my graphics is obsolete i know, it has served me well playing warcraft on 1680x1050 but i want to play games, Crysis, Bioshock, Test Drive. Those are the 3 main games im wanting to play, also lost Planet.
Requirements is i want to play the game on 1680x1050, with game enchancements up like motion blur, usual next gen features, im not particaulary bothered about having super high aa/af, unless the game runs fine with them on full then ofc i will crank it up.
i was looking at the x1950 but noticed that it hasnt got enough memory for running such a high resolution so now im debating between a 8800gtx 640mb and a 2900xt 512mb.
i will be playing on DX9 untill Crysis or some game comes out i really fancy getting and playing in DX10 (also cant be bothered to buy Vista).
I Probably have around a Limit of £250 so GTX is out of the Question.
Should i Open my wallet and let a few bob loose on getting a nice graphics card now, or sit and play warcraft untill the new NV/ATI cards are out this Fall?
Im quite happy playing Warcraft which i will still continue to play but as i only have a wii, i want to play some fps/racing games with some nice graphical detail.
