whats so great about it? well it's probably the fastest card available on the market... and when a card is the fastest possible, it usually retails for about 300 dollars...
and the card would probably only have a recognizable effect on games

Naw, the Ti4600 is faster. I don't believe a 256 version is out yet, but if not then it's sure to come fairly soon (which just might explain the sale).Quote:

Shinobi: If you aren't playing PC games, then it won't do you much good. If you're video/audio editing, more regular RAM will help more then a video card will, but if you're into games then this puppy will kick some major ass.
is 512mb of ram enough? :pQuote:

well, i have a few games. star craft, dark colony, strife, anarchy online (haven't tried it yet), and shogo. i'd like play some stuff like alice, battle realms, and doom 3 in the future.
Alice and Battle Realms aren't too system intensive (can you run Quake III well?), but Doom III will definately be, and that card will help massively towards that. However, the price for it will probably also have dropped majorly by the time Doom III comes out, so I'd say wait for it, and just save up/buy some other games you've been after lately.
Of course, when full-on wars break out in Battle Realms it's easily possible to have a massive system hit. When playing that on LAN, we had to have some people with less powerful computers simply not look at the battle or it would slow down the whole group.
What other games are you looking at picking up? Max Payne is gorgeous when running at full tilt, as is WarCraft III. Oh, and what card are you running now?
That reminds me, where's NeoZeedeater? I remember he needed a new video card...
i'd get max payne for xbox. warcraft iii isn't really my bag.Quote:

my current computer is store bought. (hp) i never put a high-end graphics card in it because i didn't really buy it for gaming. i haven't put my new comp together yet. i'm still waiting for the rest of my parts. i've been holding off much pc gaming till i get my new comp set up. i'll think about it... i suppose it's a deal you can't refuse.
Heh, but Battle Realms is? The last time I played BR the latest patch kind of screwed it up. What once was pretty slow and had balanced units turned into a rush-fest of lesser troops.Quote:
