X1800 xt

guys the word overkill does not exist in the world of computing!!!

It's addiction and because you can! it's all part of it! show it all off!

Imagine the heats though! 2 x x1800xt for 15" of goodness? I really cant imagine a game that couldnt run with one card at that resolution, pure madness.

your best optin is to sell the card on the bay and get hold of somthing quicker tbh

where on the isle of man are you?

Why upgrade??? I have an X1800 and honest to god it is the best card i have ever brought Even today it still handles everything i through at it with ease. Thats 1680x1050 max graphics.

The idea you have to buy the latest and greatest to get decent frame rates is pig swill.

x1800xt xfire is pants, get an 8 series. Boring reply but it probably consumes less power, outputs less heat, has a better image quality and is faster.

I have a better idea. Save the cash on the graphics card and get a monitor that will do the one X1800XT justice.

I agree, i still use a 1800xt and it runs loads of games at 1920x1200, why on gods green earth anyone still uses a 15" screen outsdide of the local council i have no idea, you can pick up a 19" for less than a few pints and a pizza these days

Good god, just buy a new monitor. £80 for 17", £100 for 19"....

Stretch for 20"

 

[Cupra]

he is obviously on a budget looking at the card he is going to get

gettign a bigger moniter would meen a new gpu anyway

 

[Sukh]

Not really, i can run my 20" of my x1800xt at decent settings and FPS

I'm from foxdale, at uni in bath aswell.

I'll let my lil bro know the score, looked the ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT. but as said a new screen is really necessary! which is probably over budget or just has no space for him.

thanks for the input!
