| 1157970 | 2010-12-02 19:46:00 | OP, you missed the most important spec when requesting help (unless I didnt see it), and frankly Im surprised no one asked you....What is the resolution on the monitor you use. Graphic card memory has increased 3 fold in the last 5 years as LCD screens get bigger and more affordable. Large memory is required to store game map textures for the GPU to draw on the screen and I would imagine that is half the lag issue you are experiencing. The x800 is like 2 generation older than the current 7xxx series NV card you have. A Quadro card is for graphic rendering, not gaming, however you got it right with the last choice 450. That should be good to 1680x1050 Really, you should look before you leap! |

I did mention the screen resolution but that was in the post I gave a link to I had submitted to Yahoo Questions. Sorry, I forgat to add it into my thread here. Also I only have a 17" CRT monitor. To get the best from the new card I have ordered. I really need a LCD or Plasma HD monitor that will have the new card running its full capabilities so it can be seen, I think it. More money needed to play a game that cost me $119....cor blimey. |

| 1157972 | 2010-12-03 08:16:00 | Correction, its 1280X1024 60Hz refresh rate, 32 Bit colour depth | gza (13233) | ||

Really, you should look before you leap! gza is clearly in the budget end of the market with a stated budget. I personally didn't bother asking as its a simple case of "best card for the money", knowing the resolution in this situation is pointless. |

| 1157974 | 2010-12-04 07:31:00 | Well neither the ATI PowerColor Radeon X800GT nor the EVGA NVIDIA GEFORCE GTS450 have arrived in post yet. They will. I'm looking forward to using the EVGA and see the difference in the picture quality of the movie editing I'm doing at Tech, also with the games I play. A Graphics card upgrade was on the cards earlier this year, but I just forgot about getting one. The 7300GS was doing OK. I did have a 17" Philips 5ms LCD flatscreen a year ago, but some sod nicked it. Left my computer, took the screen. Next year I'll get another one, minimum 24" widescreen, with HDMI etc., $400 to $500, new. Probably in February when I get the $1000 course related costs loan. Anyway, my XP decided to BSOD 3 successive boots with 3 different STOP errors, after a lot of searching in Safe Mode and getting nowhere, I Gparted the C Drive to extinction and reloaded the lot, lucky I had backed up what was important to me. While that is updating and I'm loading Apps / games back to it I'm playing about on a MAC I bought last week from a friend who does a lot of movie editing, has been for years. He has G5's and a nice iMAC now. The one I bought from from him is an eMAC G4, MAC OSX version 10.4.11. 1.25GHz Power PC CPU, 1GB PC2700U-30330 DDR SDRAM. I'm not too sure what the Graphics card is but in the Graphics/Displays section it says its a ATI Radeon 9200. Its ok, it has many programs on it but the best one is the Final Cut Pro HD 4.5. Very handy. Not too bad for $NZ80. I'm wondering, if I make a .DMG file (or two) from the Brothers in Arms - Hells Highway discs and give it a run on the MAC, see how it goes.....just for the experience value. I'll be back with an update when the new graphics card is installed and running in my PC. |
