Getting a new video card - Switchback - 03-25-2011
To be honest, you dont need anything more than a GTX 280, not many games require more power than that...

What does Shogun2: Total War, NFS: Hot Pursuit, and the games that will be released in 5 months from now require?:P

Shogun 2 is hardware hungry, but you're cool if you know how to tweak the settings...I tried it on my second system, running a 8800 GTX, could run it on ultra pretty good...
But yeah, I still say get the 460 GTX. A few euros more or less...your decision.

Dude, I have Powercolor Radeon HD 2600 XT (256 MB DDR4), more than 3 years old and it handles with ALL new games. I even play Bad Company 2 at high settings.

My 8800 GTX is about five years old and can still handle all new games :cool:

Yeah, I guess I'm decided: GTS 450. Korny, even if the GTX 460 is better, I already extended the budget for 450. Thing is, I will also buy a HDD and maybe a power source so yeah... can't wait to get it.

Dosnt really makes any sence aahh GTX 460 is the same price as the GTS 450 ... But GTX 460 is way better !!!
Go for GTX D:<
Quote:Pretty much both adjectives in that sentence accurately describe me.
Anyways, I hope to get a new graphics card soon, I just hope my case will fit it Q_Q
Ati is Okay, but I always loved NVidia more.
If you like spending loads of cash make a Quad ( or more ahah ) SLI way ...
And dont forget to buy a new powersupply
And do tell me about it i 'd love to know !
