Video Card Question

[cylis]

Im just curious as to how you think this would perform Counter Strike: Source. Id like to play the game at max graphics or close to it with a decent FPS. I currently have a Dell 2400 Dimension, 2.66Ghz P4, 1GB of RAM. I only have a PCI, so this is the best of the best I think. Does it look like a decent card?

Thanks

You would be lucky to run it at max detail at a decent fps due to the PCI bus. So don't get your hopes up.

Its not a decent card, but it is the best for the PCI bus. I'm not sure is there are any other PCI cards out that are faster.

Counter strike: sorce isn't too heavy.

You should get playable framerates at 1024x768, but no AA or AF. 800x600 for sure, anyway.

if i could play it on my
2200 + sempron 256mb ram and an gf 4 Mx 440 with decent fps with settings on medium and even had it tweaked to have shadows and i was playing it on 1024x768.
so i belive you could play it on medium high but no AA

x1600 or better would be a much better choice if you want high settings and decent framerates. avoid HDR as it makes it harder to see.

as true as that may... this is for a PCI not PCI-E and i dont think there is even a PCI x1600?

u should get a x850xt. im plating cs:s on all high settings getting 75-110 fps.... and theres some good deals on newegg for x850xt

It will have to do ,but all at max your image will be poor becose of the video card

 

[melarcky]

which part about the pci did you people not get?

i know ... maybe the think that we are to lazy to ad the "E"

 

[reaper87]

counterstrike source

that card should run it fine w/ conservative settings.

I think you should try to run SLI.

[4745454b]

Yeah, thats a great idea, where do you find SLI PCI cards???

(how many people on this forum actually take the time to read the question?)

Learn to read, or better yet, tell us how would you can run a PCI-E card on a PCI slot. Would be interesting.

My old PC ran CS:S fine a med settings. X1300 could probably run close to high, since CS:S doesn't need the best card.

I suggest the same to you. Why do you think I said "/ducks". Maybe because I did read all the thread and was joking? Maybe?
