Whats about the min card needed for...

[eyetrip]

Ok, I really can't make up my mind what to do with current hardware now that I got 360... I want to downgrade, but still want to play the games I have.

Also, not sure if this better in games or GPU sections, but though best option was here.

So for the following games, what card would you recommend for around 1440x900/1680x1050, with medium or low settings?

COD4, ET:QW, GRAW, GRAW2, Bioshock, UT3, and maybe few other games like that... will probably sell my copy of Crysis, so not bothered about that.

Am thinking maybe 8600gt, but that might be just a little too slow...

If you want to be a bit future proofed: 8800GT 512mb.

Then I may as well keep my current card

I don't see myself playing much on the PC for a while, and if I do will be the games listed more than likely.

So.... I have a G92 GTS, but am looking to take a step back (or several)

Well, stuck the other halfs X1950 Pro in my machine for a bit last night and had a quick run through some games....

COD 4 ran wonderfully, and while I did not get chance to test ET:QW, I am sure that would be fine.

However, UT3 was quite laggy, and Bioshock and Graw 2 were only just playable on low. Crysis was, well, Crysis.... nough said.

This makes me think that any new games to come out will probably just not be playable, even on low. So I think I am looking at a minimum 8800GS/3850 Pro. This means will likely only make £60 or £70 on my 8800GTS, so just not sure it would be worth selling my GPU.

My quad, however, I do think I will sell...
