Righto, first off, hello. Been a reader of TH for a while now, finally got round to joining the forum. Anyahoot, on with the show. First off, my specs
P4 3.4Ghz
1gb PC3200 DDR RAM
7300gt 256mb
Now I really think my graphics card is letting me down on games like Company Of Heroes but also future games like Supreme Commander. Because of this, I'm looking for an upgrade. But here's the problem, I really don't want to be shelling out a load of money for it, neither upgrade my 315watt PSU (why the extra 15 :? ) as I am planning to get a new computing at about xmas this year (hey, its less than 11 months away :roll: )
So what I want is either the best graphics card without needing a direct line to the PSU, one that will work with a low.....wattage thing or for you guys to say 'wait, theres no point, there won't be much of an increase'...or something. I'm currently looking at a 7600gt but don't know if I can do better with these constraints...
Furthurmore, when are these cheaper DX10 graphics cards out? Will they all need direct PSU connector things, or should I just wait and get one of them.
Your help will be greatly apreciatted, or however you spell it :roll:
