I've just bought a ATi Radeon 9600XT, great value at only £100 I thought
cause I'm upgrading for a new computer, virtually all my parts were upgraded, except the processor/mobo. so atm I've got 1024MB PC3200 DDR Ram, that GFX card, DVD RW, Hercules Game Theatre XP 7.1, 160GB Hard Drive, but a 1.2Ghz Processor still :S.
I didn't expect much change at all, but I was shocked!
When I went to play Call Of Duty for the first time, bearing in mind with my old GeForce4 MX 440, I couldn't get it to work smooth at all, even at lowest GFX at 800x600
then this arrived! Now I can run maximum graphics at 1024x768 GFX
not a lag in site :| even tho I've still got a 1.2Ghz Processor.
In GP4, before I played it with adequate graphics, and got 25FPS, after the GFX card arrived, after a few teething problems
I got it to work 1260x1024 everything Max, with 35FPS
Hopefully this weekend, I'm going back down to Overclockers to buy myself a AMD 64 :D dread to think how fast my PC will go with that in it, after seeing the speed its going with my slow 1.2Ghz processor in :|
But now I can say! I'm prepared for Half Life 2 :D
