 Thread : really not sure what vcard to go with... with my specs
 
More Information

started playing age of conan last night and getting alot of lag 8( so need to change vcard at least I think... heres setup


p d960 3.6 gig
asus p5n32 sli mb
2 gigs ram
300 gig barracuda hd
gforce 8600 gs ( figure this is main problem )
550 antec tru-power psu ( figure this may hold back the highest end vcards 8800gtx etc and really hate to change this out but if must will )

soundcard was the razer ac-1 but that thing has been crashing games/stuff and even rebooting comp so using onboard sound atm but i'll go get a creative xfi maybe the regular or extre gaming whatever.. but ya know i need to get something.

thanks alot ahead of time... ive read alot about the cards but really unsure what to get with this psu and processor wise...

I would get the 8800GS or the 9600GT, which are good cards, also the 3850 does well too.

Exile- Kreia what are you Jedi or Sith?

Kreia- Does it matter? Of course it does; such titles allow us to rip the galaxy into two halves: light and dark, good and bad. Perhaps I am neither, and I hold both as what they really are: pieces to a puzzle.

8800GS 768 comparison. The 8800GS comes out on top with less rezolution and less AA than the 9600
