Should I go for a PC upgrade or a PS3?

Seems like common sense i agree, but it's all about money rich, both, not rich your choice, it's better than one of them so forget argueing all the time when you know that you dont have to have 1 :D
 
Oh dear, i've got my new nvidia 8500gt 512mb graphics card with latest drivers and whilst gameplay has improved, it is still poor, jittery very stop start. I have the latest drivers, direct x, ive disabled pretty much everything! i've also played around with lower resolutions etc. since first typing this it has got slightly better with the tweaks but still not good enough to play.

anyone know what else i can do? i was assured that my system would be ok with this upgrade so i must be doing something wrong?! please help!
 
Don't think theres anything you're doing wrong sorry,

I mentioned 6800GT, 7900GS/7950GT I know they are not DX10 and 8000 series but I can confirm games, specifically PES08 runs great on them.

Searching 8500gt on google I found this. I'm sure your processor/RAM is fine so I'm guessing what the guys are saying there is pretty much spot on. Seems its hardly fit for gaming at all. Its a shame noone jumped in to say anything about 8500gt when you mentioned it. I'd have if I knew
 
im ****ed then :(

If I put it back on eBay no-ones gonna buy it. I just assumed that the higher the number the better it will be so i thought this one would be much better than yours.

oh dear :(
 
hay jest do what i do in this kind of situation steel a new pc the best one you can find and steel all the consoles it will be completely free and you will be a very happy person unless you get cot or better yet jest put that money into tools for burglary and than you can steel all the pcs, games and game consoles you want everybody wins o and did i mention this can be applied to other things like cars and money!!!!!

uld you recommned buying this one? It says "point of view" then "nvidia" i dont wanna buy a dud so thought i'd check...again! lol

Thats the 512mb version of the one my friend uses (256mb) and he plays PES08 = 1280x1024 @ Maximum settings :cool: He paid £99 for it a few months ago. I think 512mb memory is superior to 256mb when gaming at really high resolutions
 
SIW utility says my memory is "synchronous DDR".

I've tried to google it but does this mean a graphics card that says GDDR will work or not?

i just wanna get everythin right coz i cant afford it to get it wrong....again.
 
I'm sure thats referring to your computers RAM which is different from graphics card memory. As long as you have PCI-E slot for the graphics card it's good :cool:
