On the fence (none / 0)

I have to say, i am still willing to play pc games, but i have to say, the next pc i buy if i need to is not going to be to play games, i just cant keep up with replacing videocards and adding memory it just seems like they want to milk money out of you and maybe its just bc im older and wiser but why cant i play GOW and COD4 and UT3 on my PC with Dual Proc, 2GB ram, 128mb video card and its not good enough, thats where i started getting upset, it seems like they are in cahoots with the video card companies.
I dont know, maybe im not on the fence. I just cant support the cost of a video card that costs as much as a ps3 and that i can play it easily on a huge tv.

  as much as a PS3? Where is that coming from? An X8600 edition will get you through most any game out so far: http://husdawg1-cnet.com.com/4566-8902_7.html?dqsi=t_attr_500247:("NVIDIA%20GeForce%206600"+"NVIDIA%20GeForce%206800"+"NVIDIA%20GeForce%207600"+"NVIDIA%20GeForce%207 800"+"NVIDIA%20GeForce%207900"+"NVIDIA%20GeForce%207950"+"NVIDIA%20GeForce%208600"+"NVIDIA%20GeForce %208800")%20AND%20t_attr_500240:"PCI%20Express"%20AND%20f_attr_500241:[134217728%20TO%20*]&sort= lowPrice9+asc&part=husdawg1-cnet

    link not working, well go to sr test (google it) and go to a game like crisis then go to we reccomend in video cards (if you can run it than it won't appear) you'll notice the $50-150 range

    - $500 (none / 0)
      
      isn't too far off for top of the line ones, but those are by no means necessary. I have the 8800GT ($250) and it can easily run anything out there and I have been able to max out every game I have played.

        Brings multiple 500$ cards to its knees if you are in anyway bottlenecking your rig.
