Officially screwed

[Dark Asylumn]

Well it is official  I con not play on the servers until I get a new vid card. This crappy 220 that came with this machine has now gotten to the point it can not even handle playing 2 videos back to back (lock the comp up) now on the  servers I get a few mins then I glitch out (scuares) and locks up    F**K NVIDIA

4870 here I come (as soon as I can afford it)

 

 

I will be passing around a please help this sorry idiot jar.   I expect all members to put a $1 in it

 

Just kiddin,  I will be back to playing as soon as I get one but for now you all have to find another target

Are you sure its not a memory problem or a cache problem?

[Dark Asylumn]

Yeah   I have been having problems with this card from day 1  its mostly the nvidia software that doesnt like 64bit  second 64bit comp I had problems with running nvidia.  the new glitching was proceded with video error shut downs, so going by everything that has led up to the squares I have to say it is the very cheap card  (its the bottom of the line) I am pretty sure that the software issues have really taxed the already crappy card)

I dont know what your budget is but some great low priced ATi are there new.

Even the 4650/5xxx can be nice but just your budget will decide.

 Ahh, I see.  As posted above, there are some good cards out there that wont drain your wallet.

well I have found the 4870 its $150 but it is a really really good one so I have to quit buying rc stuff  cabin fever made me buy some more rc cars. Thank you all for the recommendations

Compare that with a Sapphire 5770 (plus dx10) and same price:

yes the 5770 is an ok card but does run dx11  the 4879 saphire is a higher end card that only does dx10.1 I have no need for dx11 so I would rather get a more workable card  can handle over clocking more and farther. I had same discussion with dread about why I should choose the 4870 over the 5770. and when he explained to me that I could push the 4870 harder I had to agree

[X-RayXI]

Well Dread knows alot of stuff but I just referred to the cooler gpu on it(temps) And Watts
Well I have one and can run dx9, 10 and 11 so im spoiled hehe.

 

 

I sure dont like to OC GPU's 

 

[Dark Asylumn]

I have never overclocked one but if you can push it hard with overclocking with no problems then I know running it at stock it is gonna be smooth as butter.

I got 2 7600 GT's SLI ( 4 years old and running strong), I have no reason to OC them, especially with COD2. I did have some issues but it was Direct x related. I still cant believe I paid over $700 for the pair back then.

[Dark Asylumn]

Yeah I would love to put my 8600gt xfx in here but it is a nvidia   I am making the switch to ati   nvidia just cant get their shit together when it comes to driver issues

Best bang for your buck on the planet atm ... Read DDR 5 .

 

We have 2 of these in the rig we use to crunch through digital satalite imagery ---I use just one on the rig I usually play Cod and other fps shooters ---I cant recall ever going below 100 fps on any map all settings maxed.(Science tells us the human eye without enhancement can only detect 80 -90 fps shrug... anything above that is gravy .)
