I made this skin just for fun...

What do you think of it? Any suggestions?

looks pretty good. Make an investment in a new video card, it'll do you good

Good skin, but Katarn is right, a better graphics card would probably make everything look a lot better

ya i know im looking at buying a new one. Anyone have a suggestion on one to buy? I don't care if it's pci or agp, i have computers using either.

Any suggestions on what one to buy?

And thats for the compliments. Any ratings on it?

**EDIT**

Heres a better picture of it, i took it while in sparkedit

did you get your money for the x800 or just got nothing and lost all the money
i dont have agp so that sux the best card i could get for pci is fx5200 will that do for normal graphics yes my graphics look exactly the same as yours and that skin is very simple all you did was use hot wax coat in paintshop

Lost the money, I have one PCI express PC which has an x850 but i dont technically own it.. its at my dads work but no one uses it appart from me.. and i do go there quite often.

would an fx 5200 be good enough to play halo with ok graphics cause i only have pci

Sonictag · Post by **Sonictag** » Thu Mar 24, 2005 2:09 pm

Yup, thats more than good enough to play halo.

with the fx5200

Waverunner · Post by **Waverunner** » Thu Mar 24, 2005 2:55 pm

actaully, when I play CE all my textures are like that, really detailed. Just not in PC.

mine dont what card do you have will the fx5200 look like that

Check out the spec of the graphics card, it is pretty good, you should be able to run halo with full graphics and get a reasonable fps.

the 5200 is probably the worst choice you could get. At least go the the radeon 9800 or higher, or it's not worth it. The 6600 GT is probably the best for a lower price, but the 6800 is (technically) the best, but it requires a 480 watt ps and a huge fan.

Do you realize that the one u said is a good "lower price" is $200!?!?!?

I'm not looking to spend that much just to see textures in a game.... I can
see them semi-almost-good as it is with the card that came with my comp.

...It will help you in everything, not just halo. Unless that is all you intend to ever do with your computer.....

lol, i do other things besides halo. But isn't the general $40 gonna do what I need it for? Its not like I need to develop a game or anything, this is just a hobby for me. Do you think this one would be good enough just to see general textures and stuff like that?

do you want this card for 3 years or 3 months?
