Ok..this is the thingy.. I am a WoW fan and wanned to improve my PC a bit... as playing with my GF2 32mb wasnt doing so good these days ..and .. I kinda did a bigger improvement.. buying AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual-Core 4000+ on an ASRock ALiveNF7G-HDready with Integrated NVIDIA® GeForce7 Series (NV44) DX9.0 VGA, Pixel Shader 3.0, Max. shared memory 256MB with 2GB DDR2 800Mhz AND! ... this is my question... How the F .. WoW on max video settings and ONLY on 1024/768
has 7-8Fps :S ... don't get it .... I just did a little comparison of the 6600GF vs my 7050 and seems like that Serie 6 GC is like 5x better than mine ... :S ....
SO ... would like some suggestions on what should I do.. I know its my GC that needs replacing but dunno with which.. :S
but it cant be soo awful :S I am a naab in PC hardware but still .. shouldnt Serie 7 GC be better then a Serie 6 :S ??
Do you play any other games besides Wow? Because an 8800 GT and the HD 3870 seem a little overboard for just Wow.
PS, and yes the way you write is very hard to understand.

Ok, to make it simple.. can any1 explain to me how is it possible NForce 7050 to be weaker than NForce 660GT ... BUT! I also want to add that my 7050 is intregrated .
Just because they say 7xxx doesn't mean it's a 7xxx card. They did this years ago with the geforce 4 mx series. They were geforce 2 cards they rebranded geforce 4. You need to do some more research, not just look at product names. Even if it was a true 7xxx series card, it wouldn't necessarily be faster than a 6xxx series card. Look at a current 8400 card then look at last generations 7900. A budget card from a newer generation isn't faster than a mid range or higher card from a previous generation. Pick up a $50 x1650 or 2600pro from newegg and you'll be fine.
Stop typing like a fool, it's anyone, not any1. That is not exceptable, grow up.
You have to look at the second digit as well when looking at gpu's, not just the first digit. The second 6 in 6600 shows its a faster product then say a 6500. So a 7000 is slower then a 6600 because the second number in the series shows its performance level in that series of card. Thus 8800 cards are the fastest in the 8000 series. And 7800 cards are faster then 8500 cards because the 7800 is the high end card in the 7000 series. Now if you want to game get something better. Read some more stuff and stop writing like that, it is a very bad quality for a person to have.
The 7050 is junk, basically as good as most current onboard video (ok, maybe a hair better, butnot much.).
If WoW is primarily all you play, you could get away with an 8600gt and have some great performance. That is what I have (paired with an x2 4000 CPU too) and I have everything maxed out and get 60fps in almost every part of the game. That is with 4x AA, 16x AF, Supersampling enabled, vsync and all the graphic optimizations set to quality. The picture looks great. Shattrath city still drops me down to about 20-30 fps, but that is because Blizzard f'd up the coding in that area.
Sorry if I pissed anyone off with my poking fun at the ops spelling...I was just having a little fun with this thread.
It's a sad day when people get so wrapped up in correctness that we loose our abillity to laugh!
Anyway, it all comes down to budget. Can you afford an uber card or just a decent card?
You may also maul over the idea of getting an ATI HD3850. They're very nicely priced and own the 6600.
Hope this helps.
