I have an ATI x800 pro at the moment but its on its last legs (getting artifacts) , so I was wondering what the best replacement would be.

I dont really want to change my board to PCI-E as my board is a fairly new 64bit board with an AMD Athlon 64 3000+ (Venice) I also have 2.5 GB DDR Ram.

any advice appreciated

cheers

MG,

Would you mind putting feedback on the card in here? I've been thinking about upgrading to one of these and would appreciate your opinion

Cheers

Installed yesterday & it seems a great card so far.

! got a 3d mark (2k3) score of 12119 with this card as apposed to 9.5 k with the old ATI x800 pro

not been through all the options yet, but very happy initially.

anyone wanna buy an x800 pro with Zalman cooling pipes system ?

lightning101

SNET pikey on> £20 inc postage ?

DrEvil

Cool - now get yourself on BF2!!!!!!

MadGrip

thats gonna be my next purchase.

MadGrip

Off to get it soon, is it worth getting the special forces addon ?

DrEvil

IMHO yes - and you should be able to pick BF2 up for 15-20 quid, and SF for another 10-15
Night fights and the zip lines etc.. are great fun

MadGrip

well got them both & installed... really impressed with the game apart from the helis get shot down by planes too easily

DrEvil

You got patch 1.2 installed? If yes - we're on from 8pm (ish) (9pm for me) tonight on the SNAFU server , SF tonight

PS. tomorrow sees the release of hotfix 1.21, this addresses some of the helis v AA or planes issues (hopefully). But lets face it - in real life heli versus jet fighter...

MadGrip

wont be able to make it tonight, but I'm definately up for some tomorrow

DrEvil

All the servers are being patched tomorrow afternoon /evening - could mean no servers available until quite late.

Personally can't make tomorrow either - but will be playing Sunday night on the server.
