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.

    • The memory and nvme can be swapped and upgraded with standard parts. But the GPU cannot, which is the weakest part of the box. It's a dead product at these prices.
    • Sounds like the debloated build you are running is missing some components that the Photos app and Snipping Tool rely on.
    • Apparently, Microsoft doesn't use water in their taps, washrooms or clean their facility. /sarc
    • Wow, throwback.  VERY VERY briefly - but realised that it wasn't the language I needed for the tasks I was taking on.
    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.
