New GFX + RAM

[b` m3ow]

Hey guys, I've been playing BF2 for just over 1 year now. About 2 months back I bought my self a new GFX Card. A eVGA 7600GS 256MB.. I was PLANNING to get SLi for the card, Then recently I found out that with 2 of those cards, it would barely be like a 7900 256mb.

So now that I found that out today. I'am working this weekend, to get about $50 bucks more for a EVEN NEWER GFX Card! This time i'am planning on getting a eVGA 7900GS 256MB GFX Card So, since we all play BF2 here and know the game and its engine, Will this card be able to do High , and AA on??? What do u think the Average FPS might be?

Now onto the RAM
>Ok now time for the RAM part, I got 512MB Stick in there now, I just never upgraded due to the lack of money, I'am planning on get (2x 512MB)= 1GB "CORSAIr" I was wondering if it would be good? I will get another set LATER ON, AKA X-Mas time. Also, can I just take out my old RAM and just stick the new one's in with no problems? Whats the % that will work?

PC Specs and Links
>AMD Athlon 3500+ 2.2Ghz
>*Currently* eVGA 7600GS 256mB
>*Currently* some crap 512MB RAM
>Gigabyte K8N SLi-Pro Mobo.

Personally, I'd keep the 7600GS for now and spend the cash on another 1GB right away. "Amazing" is the best word I can think of to describe the improvements BF2 offers to users with 2GB.

Re: New GFX + RAM

Well... to be honest you should pick up more ram first, this game is a hog. i have an EVGA 7900gt 512 and i run the game maxed at 100 FPS, which, correct me if i'm wrong is what the game is limited to. My previous card, a radeon 9800pro 128 could with a gig of ram could run the game at almost all high settings at about 80 fps. Take from this what you will, but i feel that ram should be your first upgrade. Oh, and the 7900gt is a sweet card. the end.
Current system:
x2 4400
A8N-SLI32
2 GB Corsair XMS 3500ll
EVGA 7900gt 512mb
Enermax Liberty 620w

I have yet to find a game that taxes my system in any way.

Re: New GFX + RAM

I forgot to add that I got the money for both THIS WEEKEND. I can order this weekend, both the RAM and GFX Card. But would this go well with BF2?

Re: New GFX + RAM

a 7900 gs xt edition for 2142 people told me i could max out on bf2 and 2142

Re: New GFX + RAM

You could save some money and use evga's step-up program if you got the card only 2 months ago.

Dont know a game to tax ur system? Ummm, i know one. Play Oblivion,... in a foliage area,... at 1600x1200,... with full hdr. Your card will burst into flames and/or get -3 fps.

lol i just ordered

Yes, the 7900gs should get just over 60 fps with everything on high, at 1280x1024 with x4 AA and x8 AF. What card are you upgrading from?

Re: New GFX + RAM

I'am upgrading from a 7600GS, was planning to get SLi but I changed my mind.

So the 7900GS is the best deal? And I can max everything out? at 1024x768 4xAA ?

I got a AMD Athlon 3500+
and ORDERING 1GB CORSAIR RAM this weekend, Acutally i'am ordering the card and ram this weekend if i get 1 more OK, from this forumn

Re: New GFX + RAM

So, were you planning on using the step-up program? Could save you quite a bit of money, however much your 7600gs costed. http://evga.com/stepup/default.asp
