Advice on Graphics Cards

[Rannie]

eh i run on two cpu's and scored high... my suggestion would be if you update the video card make sure that you read the wattage for the psu i upgraded mine and didn't realize i had to buy a new power supply and it kept shutting the computer down in grid when it rained because of drawing too much power.. also i'd probably recommend if you can upgrading your ram

I second the PS3 comment. Not only is it more portable if you have to go out of town... It probably will be more cost effective.. Assuming you have a PS3

I just went with a gtx 660 and upgraded my power supply, scored 7,000 on high and 5500 on max. Was fairly affordable, card was 220 bucks, quite the bang for the buck. Here's a link to it.

I just told someone else to grab a GTX 650Ti. They are only like 130 bucks and very good performance for the money.

I agree with some of the others here, just a GPU upgrade isn't likely to help you much since the rest of the system will likely hold it back anyways.

If I can get my settlement Check I plan to build a new gaming centric machine with 2 of those New Titan Cards from nVidia.... assuming I can get them that is. And unless AMD has something better at the time. My Dual 5970s in this beast do well enough. But I want to relegate it to backup gaming machine and heavy CPU work.

I think that some one else was me XD

atm I'm using an ATI radeon HD5770, managed to score it a whileback on newegg for cheap. It's not the best card out there but it's pretty decent and not ridiculously priced. (got mine for $70 on sale and with a rebate~)

Well, I did plan to get a new power supply for a new video card. I just want one that will run the game well. For the last benchmark I scored low on medium settings, and insufficient on high. I don't get it, since I could run 1.0 well on my machine, and that was supposed to me more stressful on a computer, or so I'm told. :/

Anyway, I just need a new card and power supply obviously, some for cheap. I don't have a PS3, so that's out of the question.

Wow, could you actually play 1.0 on that?

Yeah, with no problems! Weird. lol

Also, how can you tell which graphics cards are more powerful? I wish I could do that...
