Hi Guys,
I'm after a new GPU i'm currently running a PNY Verto Nvidia Geforce 9400GT 512mb PCi-E GPU, however, i'm not happy with its performance. Can anyone advise me on a upgrade based on my systems spec.
Thermaltake TR2-420pp PSU
Intel E8500 core 2 duo 3.16ghz
Asus P5KPL/1600 Motherboard
4GB PC2-6400 ddr2 ramm
If anyone can advise me on an upgrade it would be much appreciated.
Cheers from ross

Not true I got a nvidia GE 8800 i believe and it runs smothly on the default perfect settings and when I used IL-2 stab it sadly only slows on the best water setting. Only time my card slows down is with me is when there is more then 50 planes on there.
plus i paid only 90 for it (US currency)

I dont think you know why there is an issue of low FPS when on water
This is not the card! its the poor driver support! :roll:

Thanks for your replies, I was worried having only 420watts power supply would limit a decent card i'll have a scout around on ebay for a 8800gt or gts.
Thanks again ross

ATI 4780X2 Simply the big boy now! Hands down NO ONE (read nVidea) can beat it! That x2 means 2 gpu's on one card! Less than 500 us

420 watts isn't much these days, you may find that you will have to upgrade that PSU.

uh, i dont think so
look at GTX295, it will pwn ATI's butt

Nvidia 295 is the most powerful VGA in the market nowadays. It's out and available in shops and through internet stores.

See this just show that no matter how much you think you know there's always someone out willing to prove you wrong! LOL! Yeps, look at some reviews and in some games its fast but one review did say that for Far Cry 2 ATI sitll out performs the 295. It was at the higher rezo's larger than 1680x150 or something like that.
