Hi all,
I am needing some advice for a video card purchase.
My old card was a ASUS v8420 Ti4200 128 mb Geforce 4 (nvidia)
My new card is a BFG 6200 OC 256mb (nvidia)
The new card is almost double in all ways compared to the old one. When I play certain games however, it seems there is little to no increase in performance. For example, on the new card I can play Doom 3 on High quality settings at 1280x1024 res. and it plays very well, gets a little staggered when there are tons of badies on the screen, but overall really good. Then I load up GTA: San Andreas on 1024x768 res with almost highest details and the screen is lagging big time.
Now I chose the BFG card based on quality and price as I am not yet ready to spend $500 + on a 6800.
The next card up from this one is the 6600 GT OC with alot more speed etc, but only has 128mb.
So, the question is: Do I need a better card than the 6200 or is it just game related?
P.S I have also tried it on Far Cry, UT2004, Painkiller.
