Anything a 9800GTX+ can run.

I recommend taking a look at this round-up:

http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardw...arkle-evga.html

Do note that the test system uses an i7 920 so your frame rates may not be the same as theirs.

Shift or anyone where does the 9800GTX stand is there a list of processors. To Richard I dont know the 9800GTX is that the 9800GT? And 9500GT soldier what will it run well??? And please i really need help I am about ready to spew buying a PC totally im "insert words that would get me banned".

I am buying a whole new PC at first I only wanted to spend ?500 then it shot to ?600 and now ?655 and the graphics card is apparently not up to the job. PS want it for gaming (spore, ra3, wow, Mirrors edge, the sims 3 and windows 7 xp mode virutalisation.

For the money I would pick up the 260+ overclocked. It's pretty impressive for the money. But make sure you have a 575W power supply and a few extra connectors :)

I just picked up the 295 and its a beast. I had the 260+ and was happy but I wanted to see how much better this one was and its leaps and bounds. I don't play games that often but I work in 2650x1600 in Dual Monitor Mode and thought I would play Crysis on it. It's pretty impressive. Not sure if I would go for the SLI configuration on it. I am happy that I have the room to do it as the cards are getting massive anymore.

I like ATI as well but over the last couple of years I have moved towards Nvidia and have stayed with them since.

Good luck. As some have also recommended the GTX 260(overclocked) is a very capable card for the money.

Again Benchmarks tell me nothing I need to know X graphics card will run X game at X settings. My whole gaming PC idea is falling apart totally since I cant keep the rest of the spec I want and up the graphics.

So basically you don't understand how to use the benchmarks and table. You didn't even know how well a 9500GT performed vs a GTS 250. The whole idea of me giving you the links to the table was to educate you on the general tier's of video cards based on their performance, and the benchmarks help show you performance numbers under various conditions so you can make wise decisions of $/Performance between the various cards. It would suck to find out you spent $50 more on a card that may only bring you for example only ~3FPS more :rofl: . Certainly the games that are benchmarked are not the same ones you play, but somebody has to standardize it somewhat to create some meaningful comparisons.

And you didn't even tell us what resolution your monitor is. :pinch: You want us to help you figure out how X graphic card will run X game and X settings without giving us that information :no:

Ok ive decided finally that I will not be getting a GTS250 or below so its from the GTX260 and above has anyone got the GTX260 or above and what can you run on in and what can you run at high settings? etc

You have to be specific about high settings..

A) What resolution is native to your monitor? I have Dual 30's and they max at 2560x1600. Once you get over the 1900x1200 resolutions you are talking about some serious horsepower to run full boat on any good game title.

If you can obtain it locally and have a 15/30 day return policy get the card and see if it would work for you.

    • I have a TV, but it is not used for normal linear TV, only streaming and it is not a Samsung and the best bit is, I don;'t and never have had a Instagram account. The only thing I have to do with Meta is Faceache and I only keep that just for the messaging part.
    • But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.
    • Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
