X1800XT 512MB is an awesome card.Games that need an 8800 now? I dunno. Wish I knew.
Can anyone suggest a game that will really tax my X1800XT 512MB (On an Opty 170 @ 2.9) @ 1680x1050 with 2X AA / 16X AF?
Haven't found one yet that gives me an excuse to replace it.
Tried CoD2, FEAR/XP, Oblivion, HL2 Ep1, Titan Quest, Prey, BF 2, Genesis Rising, Dark Messiah, Spellforce 2, Halo, Mage Knight, WoW, Quake 4, Cold Fear, Fable, Tomb Raider Legends, Splinter Cell 1 2 3 4.....
EDIT. C&C 3 runs great too
They are all on the shelf behind me.
And they all run great with everything cranked up at that res. I admit Vista slowed SC Double Agent a bit, but I switched back to XP and all is fine.
I will buy an HD 2800XTX, but I need some eye candy for now. Am I missing something cool?
You don't need to replace it at least for now.
And off course you have a great CPU.
Just as a recommendation, try Test Drive Unlimited & Infernal & S.T.A.L.K.E.R, as these three games have the best graphic i think & i had some problem running Test Drive Unlimited & 1280x1024+HDR+4xAA with my previews X1900XTX(still cant reach +50 FPS at 1600x1200+HDR+4xAA with my current system, think i need a better CPU :x ).Infernal is not heavy (played with three digits FPS on my previews X1900XTX) but it has a really beautiful graphic.Still you won't find any problem running these three games.
