Hi all
First time post for me although I have been a visitor and buyer for ages.
PC is mostly for gaming and current spec is:
Opteron 146 @ 2800
2gb Gskill PC4000 HZ
X1800XT 256mb
Viewsonic VA1912w Widescreen 19inch native res 1440x900 (no chance of me changing this for 2 years at least)
Company of Heroes and R6 Vegas are struggling at Native res and the X1800XT is noisy so I have 2 questions
1, I am thinking of buying an 8800GTX as I tend to buy kit and keep it for ages so I figure the best card available is the way to go. Can anyone tell me if this is a waste of time with my current monitor though?
2, Does anyone have an X1800XT and feel it should play the above games at my monitors native res? If so I may go to C2D and buy a better cooler instead of replacing the card.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
