my dad has been talking about a new pc, he's asked me to come up with some ideas on what hardware we should have, so could be a new beast on the way w00t :D any reccomendations on video cards? as much as i would love a 7800 gtx or something the absolute top of the range is a bit beyond us at the moment hehe. |
sorry man, would love to help but im only a tech expert about once every three years (ie when i upgrade). depends on how much $$ youve got, but i know the nvidia 6600s are pretty good value. mate just bought one, $230. apparently the nvidia chipsets are still the ones to beat, so concentrate on them. and athlon for your CPU. thats pretty much all i know at the minute... |

i think all you C&C fans should also be following the development of supreme commander LINK as imo its gonna be the next big thing.
whilst i love my RTS im a bit over the rock-paper-scissor technique (its a bit artificial); and where games fundamentally come down to out-building your opponent. in modern RTS games theres very little room for the *strategy* component. this goes for the great: warcraft 3 as well as the terrible: war of the ring.
supreme commander seems as though its going to introduce a much deeper feeling of actual warfare stategy, which imo is a better alternative than the tried & tested rushing techniques or working on how fast you can click your mouse. |

I just bought a new 7600GT (Leadtek of course!!) and so far it has done really well for me... i found THIS REVIEW on the 7600, and both of the 7900s to be very helpful :)
so far my 7600 has done extremely well on oblivion (with pretty much everything full), although this is pretty much the only really graphic intensive game that i have been playing. |
