Orgcon 11 Report post Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) Don't hold me to this but going off what problems ppl had it was mostly ATI reated issues plus there are better ati cards like the ati HD 4780 216 stream processors. I don't know if ati have released drivers that solve the problems that everybody has, but at the moe I'd say Nvidia is the way forward, but its up to you Edited January 2, 2009 by Orgcon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What's the rest of your PCs specs? I'm using Intel® Core™ 2 CPU E8500 @ 3.16GHz (2 CPUs) 2048MB RAM NVIDIA GeForce 512MB 9600 GT With everything on low I get 25-35FPS.

The Doc 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2009 I wouldn't either since that's more than enough to buy a PS3 or XboX 360 and GTA IV for those from gamestop and play on those consoles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Orange Report post Posted January 4, 2009 Nvidia is best for gaming as gs said get a 9600 or a 9800. Ati are good cards but not as good for nvidia at gaming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
