Hi, I am planing to build a new system, soon with these components:
core 2 duo E6600
2 gigs of DDR2 Ram 800 (5-5-5-12) Corsair xms2
Asus P5w dh Deluxe
saphire radeon x850xt
Thermaltake Purepower 480 W (18A)PSU
windows XP Home Retail
I wanted the system to last me atleast 4 years maby with a ram upgrade(ofcourse ill replace the x850xt for a dx10 card)
I was wondering how doog is the gpu card? I m planing to get one of the new dx10 cards later on when they come out(with a new psu, or an aditional sloted psu just for the gpu), and the madnes about them "cools" down a bit(especially the prices), but for now i m getign the x850xt , i was wondering:
-how well does it perform, i know it does not have shader model 3.0 , will that be a major drawback
-what games use it
-what games will i be able to play with relatively high quality? my max lcd resolution is 1280x1024
-for those who have this card, what would You say about it in relation to gaming?
Thank You for all replies.
