I have the same card and have been wondering what the best card for the best price would be to upgrade. I think I talked my father into buying me a video card for christmas, but barring that (that will be in the $200 range) can anyone answer my question?

Ok, so I think I'll just go ahead and buy a 4750 for this PC. A few months down the road when I decide to upgrade it further I'll just build a new PC. To happy_medium and blackmage, yes, my motherboard does say it supports AM2 and not AM2+. But I did a bit of research and from what I...

Thanks for all the replies and thoughts. SRoode, I don't really get 1 fps, but its definately really laggy during a 25 man raid. My internet is fine, its definately frame lag that I mainly attribute to my video card. So it seems like it would be pointless for me to go passed a 4850 for...

OK... I'm done asking random questions that I should find out for myself. After more research I've come to the conclusion that I should get the 4870. It seems like its the best card for the best price right now and that I shouldn't need to upgrade my power supply for it. All I'm really looking...

DON'T BOTHER READING UNLESS YOU JUST WANT TO BE HELPFUL (WHICH IS WHY I DIDN'T JUST DELETE THE POST). After finding more graphs and information, from what I can tell it seems like the 4870 would really be the highest I can go with my system and still squeeze the performance out of the video...

DON'T BOTHER READING UNLESS YOU JUST WANT TO BE HELPFUL (WHICH IS WHY I DIDN'T JUST DELETE THE POST). Hmm.. thats a good thought. I geuss I'm still in that mode where whenever I upgrade anything I have to try and get as good as I can, when in my case right now most any new video card would be...

Horrible X sad. 1280 X 1024. Now that you mentioned that thats something I didn't even think about. Looks like I'm either gonna be replacing it after I get a new video card, or hooking my old CRT that could do like 2560 X 2048 back up (I know thats not a correct resolution, but it's something...

... on video cards. I used to read every article, every post and every review on all hardware, software... eh, you get the point. But not having a job where I sit and do nothing all day has changed that. Long story short, my knowledge of PC parts is about a year behind, haven't had much of a...

Bumping so DSF can see this and answer me (or someone else that can).

Thanks for all the help DSF, and to all you other guys as well. Ok, so I'm pretty much 100% certain in the direction I'm going now. Which is: Q6600 An Asus P5Q - series motherboard (haven't decided which, yet) ATI 4870 X2 - I guess there isn't really a point in planning to buy another one...

Well... as not to upset either of you, I'll buy both the RAM modules! I'm trying to find a site that can tell me if I can use a 680W PSU or not. Like I said, I just dont wanna spend the extra $100 because I'm gonna buy a new PSU when I buy my second 4870 X2, so I'm just trying to keep the...

I'm just going to pretend I know what I'm going to get. That said, would this ( http://computers.pricegrabber....r/st=product/sv=title/ ) power supply be enough to power for: Processor - Q6600 GPU - 4870 X2 Motherboard - Something in the P5Q series... I think. Anyone have a valid opinion on...

Bump for more suggestions.

In the $1500 most everything would be included. I'll probably use the G15 keyboard I have now and buy some windows keyboard for this comp when I finish the new one. Same with the mouse. Haven't decided if I'll factor in a hard drive with the system at all. Odds are I'll just use one of the...

I appreciate the help, fellas. DSF, the reason why I was wanting to get 2 4870s, is because I was going to get one now, when I build the system and then one in a month or two when I'm confident enough in my finances that there will be no problems. But since you guys are saying that with a...
