1440 x 900 ~ 1280x1024... Same amount of pixels, so yes it could handle it at medium.aimless wrote:

Nope my 7600GT is low, that card will probably do fine on medium and maybe a tad of high somewhereig wrote:
it might on very low. definitely not medium high
Exactly, which is why I'm assuming Medium. Because I run Crysis on Medium but I have a 8600GTS. The 7950 GT is just as good, if not better than my card.xGj wrote:

Really? I have the same card and on low I dont get any lag but I can put some settings on medium, if I put them all medium I get the odd 30 FPS which is annoying but playable.RDMC wrote:

Still dependent on other components though, I never understood the relevance of people saying,Dragonclaw wrote:

I am guessing you have a better CPU than me, mine is AMD Athlon 3800+, single core FTL!Dragonclaw wrote:

I have a 3.4GHZ P4 Prescott. Single core FTL indeed.RDMC wrote:

I got a single core P4 at 3.0GHz. I win.Dragonclaw wrote:

is this referring to my processor? also to person who said sell my rig and build another...why should i do that?Freezer7Pro wrote:
Note that you have a P4 Northwood CPU. 130nm, and even slower than the 90nm Prescotts. It will form a HUGE bottleneck. Especially since it's HT and only has 1MB L2.
That card may run it fine but I think your processor will hold you back.......Evilhamburglar wrote:
I am thinking of purchasing a new video card and was wondering if anyone here has or know about the Geforce 7950 Card.
Before anyone tells me to not waste my money because its AGP, save your breath I just got this computer for $300 and with a new card i am hoping to play bf2 maxed out and crysis on medium at least i hope.
My system specs are:
1500 RAM corsair Ddr2 XMS (will probably purchase an addt'l 1500 for crysis)
160 gb hard drive Hitachi I believe
fatality sound card
lg 196W 19" widescreen monitor
AGP 8x mobo
Pentium 4 3.06 ghz processor
Here is a link for the card i want: http://www.xfxforce.com/web/product/lis … Id=1006137
what do you guys think is this a good buy?
will it handle crysis on medium-high graphics?
I am new to computer tech stuff so will appreciate any input on this..
Is it just me, or is memory far easier to purchase in 512MB/1GB/2GB chunks than 764MB/1.5GB?Evilhamburglar wrote:

Eh I just looked and i guess its not too bad, but I think it will cause some issues but thats just me so idkEvilhamburglar wrote:

the CPU will bottleneck with the new cards..(p4 3.06 ghz core 2 duo... NO SUCH ITEM I THINK) as i said if you really want to get into playing Crysis you will need a Dual Core Intel/AMD ..Evilhamburglar wrote:

currently im planning on getting a new motherboard and video card, as well as PSU.
my processor, sound card are awesome (p4 3.06 ghz core 2 duo and fatality) case is great was like $200 new corsair XMS DDR2 RAM is good and the 2 dvd drives and one cd drive it came with are fine.
whats is wrong with just purchasing mobo psu and gpu?

A P4 is not a Core 2 Duo. 3GHz on a P4 is still shit... P4's are just shit. It will bottleneck that card big time.Evilhamburglar wrote:

There are no chipsets that support C2D and AGP... Or 3.06GHz ones.Evilhamburglar wrote:
hmm i guess im wrong about it being a p4 then cuz i know it is indeed a core 2 duo..
i read alot of reviews for the 7950 on newegg and over 50% were bad reviews, ive decided against getting the AGP card i am just going to switch to pci-express so i have more options for a video card.
