Trying to decide on a new graphics card and online reviews aren't helping. I just picked up F.E.A.R and I definately need a new card to handle this monster but I'm lost on what to get.
Here's my system:
Intel® Pentium® D processor 925 with 2 processing cores
System Frontside Bus 800 MHz
2GB PC4200 DDR2 memory
Windows Vista Home Premium
PCI-Express
What I'm looking at:
ATI - RADEON X1950 PRO 256MB
ATI - RADEON X1650 Pro 512MB DDR
BFG - GeForce 7950 GT OC 256MB GDDR3
BFG - GeForce 8600 GTS OC 256MB
BFG - GeForce 8800 GTS OC 320MB (this is a sure pick but a bit out of my price range right now)
Can anyone give me a good idea as to which of these cards would be a good buy? I'm looking to stay with something thats DirectX-10 compliant for future games but I'll do what I have to do.
I've been looking real hard at the GeForce 8600 GTS OC but some reviews say that F.E.A.R eats it alive and some reviews say that the card handled the game great.
Can anyone help out here? Thanks in advance
