skylineR390: It amuses me how people can be so stupid.


Sir: In what planet an overcloked graphic card provides better FPS when there is a CPU bottleneck.

I said overcloking my 9800gt a few MHz is the difference between a playable game at high settings and a poor slide show. Do you really believe that if my CPU was severely limiting performance, overcloking my graphic card would have such a dramatic effect ?

Moreover, do You really believe a 9800gt, which is barely over the minimum req, would be able to render this game at high settings with acceptable speed if , on top of having an architectural disadvantage, it had to sit and wait for an overworked CPU to deliver the information to render on the screen ?


I've chosen to ignore your question twice, for obvious reasons.

revial: It's not your current video card we care about, but whether or not your cpu will bottleneck whatever card we suggest.

So, I'm not sure I'm the stupid one.

*shrug*
Apparently, I am.

Apologies
Give me a minute and I'll find that link for you.

Here's one. [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007709%20600007323%20600062521&IsNodeId=1&name=GeForce%20GTX%20460%20%28Fermi%29[/url]

Here's another one. [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007709%20600007323%20600094046&IsNodeId=1&name=GeForce%20GTX%20460%20SE%20%28Fermi%29[/url]

Hope those work.? Never tried to link anything here yet. If not just copy and paste them.

I ♦Understand what you mean about the rebate thing. It is kind of a crap shoot. But some of those cards still fall within your 100 to 130 dollar budget. A few of them even have free shipping.

Hope that helps, if I'm not to late.

the links lead to this very thread lol.

I haven't bought anything yet cause I know I won't receive it until Tuesday. I'm thinking on buying directly at a local TigerDirect store. That way I can have it right away, and I heard they are having a huge sale for Memorial Day.

I'm definitely going for the full gtx 460 not the 768 MB or the SE one. In the end I think its worth the extra $$$.

That happens sometimes. You have to copy and paste the URL into the address bar manually.
Right on. Good choice. It's an excellent card for the money. I'm sure you'll be happy with it.

Sorry about the links. Not sure why they didn't work.


(Edit): Figured it out. Now they work.
