gfx card

yo guys i wanna upgrade my graphics card

currently only running a gefore 9600 gt cheap thing and and fancy something a little bit newer and better.

budgets not massive around 150-200 quid.

do i go nvidia or do i go ati?

the one i bought yesterday was £120 and dose dx11 and has HDMI out so you can plug it into a TV.

wicked thats actually good cos i play on my 22" inch tv

how are u finding it mate ok?

might try get it through work VAT free only 100 sheets then

Not tried it on me TV just installed it yesterday along with win7 64bit. Only played BF2/PR and I have the setting down low for that any ways. Makes me wonder why I upgraded . Will try some other stuff and let you know.

But yes so far so good.

end of day at about 120 quid it cant be bad tbh!

one question will a better graphics card help with recording game play? while playing?

at the moment when im trying to record while playing im getting like 10fps if i have mw2 settings on full

and about 25 on low

That can be due to hard drive and cpu/

Also if your recording at 25fps and you game is running at 80 fps there will be a bit of sync issues with the recorder. I find using fraps set to record at 30fps is ok xfire is a bit jumpy tbh.

Have you checked my post in the show use your desktop thread in the general post forum.

u need to post the rest of ur specs mate, u could buy a great card but it might juist be bottleneckled by othercomponents

Just seen it. It looks great 
I've been looking at the ATI HD 4770 as a possible upgrade, but this ATI HD 5770 is looking mighty tempting.

yeh deadly dx11 as well. Its not the best but the features of the 5*** series out ways paying for the high end 4*** serise. when a 5770 is a steal at £120.

go for the 5*** sersie's dude

Just a note the 5770 is a newer model, yes. But it isn't a big performance card.

If you're going ATI buy the 5850 (About 250)
For Nvidia buy the 280 (Don't know the price)

It has been a while since I've checked the price/performance aspects from both companies and their products so I might be completly off!
