Hi all.
I currently have a 6600GT AGP card and it has treated me very well - no driver problems whatsoever, easy installation, pretty cheap etc. But I have only been playing counterstrike on it, which it has handled pretty well. However, with the release of the map 'militia' the card realy cannot handle such a graphics intensive map. I also want to get bf2 and play it online, and I dont feel that I can get the most out of the game with the 6600GT.
With this in mind, I have decided to save up some money and buy a better card. I am a poor student and only 16 with no job - my only income comes from selling my art (stencil graffiti on canvas/tshirt/peoples bedrooms etc. etc.) (if anyone is interested in a canvas or painted vinyl for cheap PM me! ) so getting the money takes a while. Because of this I can only upgrade ever so often, so I am looking for a card which will play the latest games on high settings well.
I have been looking at the 7800GTX cards, and they seem to be in my price range, although I am currently on an AGP mobo but I think that my mum would buy me a new mobo if I bought the card!
Is this a good choice or are there better alternatives?
My system at the moment is in my sig!
Cheers
H
