Hi my pc spec is C2D 6300x2 @ 3.25.ghz, 2gb Corsair twinx 6400 C4 @465 , Hyper 580 R psu, Gigabyte Ds3 ,Ati xt1800 ,19" iiyama crt, x2 320gb sata 2 seagate.Am going to be getting a new graphics card i be ordering it the night but am not sure on which one to get,ive spent the last few days going through the forums, reading about this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-059-BG and this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-099-XF&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=877
am not sure on which one,ive seen on here that the gtx aint as good as the gts on lower rez i mainy use 1024x768 for gaming,what i want is to get high fps and everything on max,as my xt1800 is struggling away at cod4 everything is good till there a lot of smoke and airstrikes happening and it drops to 20 to 30 fps and is very laggy,i will probally up the rez once i get new card,the gtx says it needs 2 6pin for the power even thou the psu says it can do sli i only got 1 6pin connection,do you get one with the gtx?
would like to now which i should get as there aint much in price diff.
 
i thought the above card was slower than the new 92 cores the dosh aint the prob just want the best performance,with my current setup.
 
i did have a 22" samy pebble a few months ago, and sold it after 3 days dont like widescreen for games couldn`t get used to it. :P
 
I got the psu when it came out never had a problem with it, touch wood lolz,anyways thanks for letting me know about the cards ive just ordered the gtx ,i will probally use 1600x1200.Will get another montior but it wont be a widescreen :P,got a 1080p projector with 100" screen ill try it on that see what like it is then.
 
Ye was gona order it last night,the price then was £182. Am glad i didnt order it then saved my self some dosh hehe.When i seen it this morning for that price i couldn`t refuse it.I allrdy have the 1080p projector and screen thats mainly for HD films and sport got a ps3 so use that for blu ray,but ill try it on the projector once i get the card which should be tuesday see how it looks thats all. :P Dont like widescreen for games but there`s no harm in trying it see how it goes and looks on big screen.
