I want to know what VidCard should I get.

This is the only game I play on my PC ...

my current setup is an amd 64 3000+ 1.8Ghz @ 2.4Ghz
1 Gig of Corsair Ram
Asus Geforce 6800 256MB
DFI LanPart UT Sli-D

Yup, I know, still going strong on Socket 939, but as you have read, the only gaming I do on my pc is CounterStrike Source

yesterday I ordered an x2 4200+ @ 2.2 Ghz at the egg for $70 paired with the arctic cooler 64 pro and a tube of arctic silver 5 .. hopefully I will get it to around 2.8.

My current FPS with the 3000+ at 1280x1024 with everything on high except models on medium, I get an average of 80 FPS... (aa and af at 2x and 4x)

it plays alright, i play smooth...I think I'm an un-noticed pro ..clanless...BUT , I was wondering if I just want everything on high including models, aa and af to the highest.. what videocard should I have to play it smooth at around 100 FPS?

don't tell me "8800ultra" because that is not needed AT ALL for CCS...

Thanks in advance for the help...
 
Wait... what does this thread have to do with Crysis? :confused:

All joking aside I think a 7900GT would manhandle Source maxed out. My 7800GT runs 1280x1024 very smoothly with 4xAA/8xAF but not at 100fps.
 
at how many fps ?

I want everything max out on atleast 1280x1024 , with 100 fps and even more...
 
Picked up at 8600GT ($100.00) for my kids PC and plays CS no problems, very smooth...All graphics turned up at 1280x1024.
 
thats what I thought

MSI NX8600GT-T2D256E OC GeForce 8600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Supported Video Card - Retail

that must be a lot better than the 6800... not an 8800ultra but it should be good? what do you guys think?


I might get a full upgrade next year when everything settles down and the rush is over...
