Alright guys, I just picked up an ATI x1300 256mb card (PCI-Express) for 130.00USD....
The thing is terrible. 1943 marks in 3dMark03, 2200 in 3dMark 05, didnt even try it on 06. 8O
I was hoping to play AoE III with atleast high settings, maybe not maxed out but not on "low" or off... Now my question is I can go grab the x1600 with 16 pipelines instead of 4 for an extra 30 bucks or so... Now my question to you guys is!!!
I dont do hardcore FPSer's I will really only ever be playing Aoe III and maybe Civ4 but I want it to look hot. Right now I have an Intel 530J clocked to 3.3ghz, 1 gig of 667@4-4-4-4-10, ASUS P5LD2-Deluxe, everythings super cool. Will I get something playable compared to the x1300 if I go grab the x1600? Thanks in advance!
