Which card for COD6 MW2?

[PinkFloyd]

5770

Mine ran the SP of MW2 faultlessly at 1920x1200, running on a 400W psu with a 3GHz quadcore too. Solid as a rock

I think any car or card you buy will be held back by only having 4 megs of ram.

Hehe

Ok, just checked and my PSU is 375w but it also have the 6 pin power plug. Now, looking at the ATI spec for the 4600 series which is the last of the non 6pin plug type it say the minimum PSU is 400w

So my feeling is Dell would not supply a PSU with a 6pin plug if they knew non of the cards available would work, would they?

Even if I go the 5750 it still needs the 450w power supply.

Should I play safe and opt for either a 4600 ATI or Gforce 9800 series

I'd have a 5750 if new, 5770 if you could find the bit extra.

Or maybe have a look on the MM for a 4890?

Before I upgraded to 5970, I completed MW2's campaign on 3870 (920 @ 3.8G, 6G mem & 24" Dell @ 1920x1200 ) - was fine.

I guess any 4xxx or 5xxx will do.

A jeep would be pretty good

A HMMWV surely?

Though you wouldn't be able to buy or drive your own, you'd need to queue at the side of the road with your thumb out hoping one will pick you up. It probably won't be going where you want to, will be full of people you might not want to car pool with and then half way through your journey you'd be asked to get out and wait for the one behind.

As said a 4870,4890,5770 or Nvidia 260GTX

Ok, based on this thread:

http://en.community.dell.com/forums/t/19304676.aspx

I bought the Saphire 5770 card today and installled but not fully tested yet.

What drivers should I be running?
What setting should I be using?
Should I be using DX11?
How can I give it a good test to see if all is well?

Thanks for the help so far guys

Edit FPS in MW2 60 at full res everything on. Does that sound about right?

Use the latest drivers: http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx
I think you should try overclock your cpu to at least 3ghz to avoid too much cpu bottlenecking.

I don't think you can with the dell

Althought I would be interested to find out the max size cpu the T3400 can handle
