1. DDz Quorum Pooka Posted January 22, 2008 1. DDz Quorum Posted January 22, 2008 As your aware I recently purchased the new Monitor, Samsung 2600BW, 22". Quote
BBloke Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 From what I have seen of Graphics cards and prices and considering the X1950 is becoming a hard to come by card from new. Quote
delta7 Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 yep - basically what bloke said - one thing to add is that ati are developing drivers for their newer cards and these havnt been very good for 850/1950 range but see klingers thread so if you think that you might buy other games or that BOB will be optimised for newer cats then Id streatch to 3850 Quote
Blairgowrie Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Pook, If you are going to upgrade your card make sure you go with a 512mb and not a 256mb. Quote
Klinger Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 LOL. We all mean well Pook, but I bet you have information overload about now! Quote
Blairgowrie Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Pook m8, You might want to have a look at this thread started by Quazi on UBI Tech Support. http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/ ... 9921003826 I would wait another few weeks and see what comes down the pipe. For il2 a 3870 might not be the way to go right now. Quote
1. DDz Quorum Pooka Posted January 23, 2008 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted January 23, 2008 You got that call right Klinger, Info Overload !!!!! Just when I think the 1950 is the way to go, I start seeing the 3850/3870s.. very confussing. In Toms Hardware, it rated cards and said go for 3 level increase, so with an X850XT I need to jump to at least 1950XT or XTX, 3850/3870, HD2900XT/Pro. I'll follow Quazi's thread and see what that brings, another riddle, why are the X850XTs still selling at such a high price? Pooka Quote
Blairgowrie Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Pook, If I were you m8, I would have BBloke Ultra VNC your computer and check out all your video settings before you spend any money on a new card. Quote
Klinger Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Lol m8. I reckon its a bit like marriage. Research in haste, repent at leisure. Take your time Pook. Good luck. Quote
Tonar Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 why are the X850XTs still selling at such a high price? Pooka I think because they are a good card. I have an X800 and I have no complaints. is it one of the last cards still built as AGP also? Quote
Blairgowrie Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 He has a PCI board Tonar so it is not AGP. Quote
1. DDz Quorum Pooka Posted January 24, 2008 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted January 24, 2008 Sorry Tonar, BGs right, its a PCIe card.. Quote
BBloke Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 Pook, I can VNC if you wish, not a problem.. I'll be soft and gentle and we can talk about getting intimiate on TS... with your machine that is. Quazi emailed me a link of a 3850 with some very high clock speeds and a very nice price.. knowing Quazi just a little I know he wouldn't settle for anything less than top spec! Klinger is right.. take your time and post up for some feedback. Quote
Blairgowrie Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 Pook, I am beginning to think you might have a corrupt driver install. I know you have installed several of the cat drivers over time. Each time you did it, did you run Driver Cleaner Pro? Quote
BBloke Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 I think its an all round great card and good value for money. Quote
delta7 Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 pook have you calibrated your monitor ? - on lcds you should set up brighness, contrast , gamma Quote
