9800 pro?

[terry]

hey i just bought a 9800 pro on this site, and im wondering if i will see a HUGE difference in games like hl2,doom3.... from my old card which is 9600 256mb

My current specs

2400+ @ 2.0
512 crucial pc 2700
9600 256mb

You should see frame rates more than doubled in Doom3:

Probably in HL2 as well, but with a 9800Pro your CPU may be a bottleneck.

You will notice a big difference....

you should see big diff

I had a 9600XT prior to the 9800 and the switch was a noticable one, from a 9600 plain to a 9800 should be even more

yeah im thinking of upgrading my cpu 2400+ isnt going to do it anymore :x

That 2400+ will be ok for a while.

But if you ever run into an extra 250 bucks, Go with a budget A64 cpu/mobo combo like mine. Way worth it.


Oh and have fun with double the preformance or more!

Nice Cahrts, but I can't seem to find out what the specs on the rest of the machine are...

 

[legcramp]
