Ok, the only games I play are CSS and DOD more or less. I'll be playing WOW and Guild wars soon, but as of right now not going to.

My Vid cards for this build I'm trying to decide between are X800, X800XL, X800PE. The thing is, I can't find reviews for these three cards for the games I play (CSS and DOD mostly). Does anyone know if anyone has done any comparisions for these games.

Thanks

Well, with DOD, either one of those cards are going to more performance than you can even notice. For CSS, I'd imagine you could compare Half Life 2 scores?

HL2 benchmarks dude, as Ryanv said. All three of those cards will have absolutely no problem running either game at max settings.

STEAM. Arghh. Death to STEAM!!! Arghhh.


Anywayz, to answer your question:
Australian PC PowerPlay (a bloody good computing magazine) has reviews of half a dozen video cards each month, testing them with 3DMark, Doom3 and HalfLife2.

As far as HL2 goes, here are the minimum frame rates at 1024x768:

X800 (Powercolor X800 Bravo): 41
X800Pro (Sapprire X800Pro VIVO): 42
X800XL (ASUS AX800XL): 44
X850Pro (ABIT RX850Pro): 44
X850XT (ASUS AX850XT Platinum): 54

But remember: these aren't definative measures, they're just at one set of settings.

Hope it's helped.
