Wow, this is depressing

[llamaboy772]

As you all know, (ok not really) i got a new computer. On my last computer i could barely play halo at all with a resolution of 640xwhatever, bland textures, no colors on bipeds or MC, couldn't see water of the flashlight, and got 15 FPS. When i got my new computer i was like, OMG thease graphics are good! And then i downloaded the demo of F.E.A.R yesterday........now i feel as if i'm playing halo PC on my last computer again BTW i have radeon 200 xpress. Is there anyway i can over clock it? I have 1gb of ram and a 200gb hard drive. I also heard that in order to play F.E.A.R with good graphics you need TWO graphics cards, !!! p.s. mods if your going to lock this give me a reason

No you don't need two graphics cards, but you will need something that is better. I have the X200, but I upgraded to the X1300 which is pretty nice for 100 bucks. I can play stuff like Black and White 2 and Battlefield 2 on full graphic settings. Just go to www.newegg.com if you can get a new graphics card.

I have the same graphics card, and I went through the same thing you did!! Except, my last computers couldn't even run it.

Next time you buy a computer set priorities.

What are you talking about i did. Didn't you see my 5 page thread on the lower half of this forum? Oh and the graphics arn't as bad as i thought, i clicked the thing that sets the best settings for your computer automaticly......what a load of crap. I changed stuff up in the graphics setting and i still got flawless FPS with twice what i got when it did it for me

an x300 plays halo nice and it plays fear on medium settings
you can get if for like 100 dollars i thinx

[llamaboy772]

lol, nice sig, but i think i would just unplug my computer

[Patrickssj6]

How about you give us the answers of these question and we could recommend a gfx card to you:

-What budget?
-You have PCI-E?

[llamaboy772]

i wasn't intending for this to be a graphics card buying thread, i was just making a statement. I'm going to buy a card when it's worth it, like when directX10 comes out. But i will tell you anyway, there is no way in heck i would buy a computer that doesn't have PCIe and my price range......hard to tell maybe 150-200?

Get an X800 GT, $150 and I over clock it beyond what a 7800 GTX can do.

[llamaboy772]

I finished the demo of F.E.A.R. yesterday and wow that game is fricking scary! ***walks down long dark hallway, door closes right in front of me, turns around, small girl with long black hair coming right at me! Hall goes pitch black....i reapear in a new hallway with a celling made of blood, i walk down it, demond appears in glass of new door, it shatters....and lots of other stuff.*** Man this game is creppy! And great too...

that is complete bu77sh1t

" If you're looking for the fastest, most cutting-edge 3D card on the market, look no further. For now, Nvidia's GeForce 7800 GTX is it."

quoted from almost every review site on the net

with 8 active pixel pipelines there is no way the X800 GT could even come close to the 7800 GTX if overclocked as the GTX has 24 pixel pipelines

also the big price difference if quite a give away as to the performance difference : /

I hardware modded my card to have 16 pipelines, and I over clock to 535mhz core and 550mhz memory, it may not have as many pipelines but the clocks are beyond what a stock GTX is.
