Help with new personal?
Posted in Desktops on July 22nd, 2008
I’m looking to buy a new pc:
AMD X2 DUAL CORE @ 3.0GHz
4GB 800MHz RAM
ATI RADEON 3850 512mb Graphics Card
Im not sure however if this setup will run Age of Conan in high settings with a high framerate, as i have heard ATI cards dont run AOC well.
Is this true? And if it is what can i do about it? Should i change my setup in anyway?
10points for the best answer, thanks.
Answer:
Go with a 4850, it is $200. You didn't say what motherboard you are using but if you run with a good AMD chipset the nvidia cards WILL NOT work. AMD uses ATI graphics in mind as they built their newer systems and it is called the SPIDER PLATFORM. Yes price for price the AMD CPU's and the SPIDER TECH mainboards perform the same as Intel but perform better with ATI graphics cards. The 4000 series is a new card just released in the first of July and they both 4850 and the 4870 are giving nvidia a run for their money. The 4870 is superior than the 8800, 9800 and 260 nvidia cards, the 280 is superior and released @ $630 a piece, but when the 4870 came out that week for $300 the nvidia crew had to start slicing prices on that card down to $550… Get the hint. If you’ve a billion dollars and don't care how much you spend get the best around, if not then just go with a CLOSE second for half the price…
Answer:
The 9600 Gainwood graphics cards are very good you can plug 2 power cord into them from your PSU and have a Nvidia chipset inthem, you can get Kingston gamers RAM in DDR2 at 1026 and i think 1200 MHZ, have a look at there web site. That should spark thing up. Have fun
Answer:
change your graphics card to Nvidia geforce 9800M GTX, i am sure you'r motherboard will support it and it's a gr8,extremely gr8 graphics card… you can run any games with max settings with this graphics card.
Answer:
its not that bad with ATI if you have 4GB RAM and its 3.0GHz for god sakes but still Navida is superior
