I buy cards that won't require upgrading for 3 of years or more, depending on what I can afford at the moment (mostly in the $180 - 220 range). I don't own any consoles since I game on the PC more, just in case anybody wonders why I spend a bit on video cards.
Nothing wrong with scrounging for something you want. $60 is quite a bit for something that old, $60 could get you something with more power. I'm not too well to do, I cut back on a lot of going out (considering there's nowhere for me to go) and I work on my bike more so no need to use the shop until every 7000 miles or more. My PC is my do all so I splurge on that and it lasts for years.fireguzzi wrote:Thats just how us broke people roll.JC Viper wrote:Wow I'm such a computer geek, I thought when people upgraded their cards to play games I think GeForce 8 and higher all running on a PCIe bus.

I had the game for two months before I could scrounge up enough spare money to get a video card that will work for it. Hell, i was searching through the used video card bin at the pc store for something before I shelled out the $59 for a new one.
I ain't too proud to scrounge through old dodo for what I need.
I was trying to play with a Sempron, 2G system RAM, and the on-board nVidia 6150 chipset, and it just wasn't cutting it. The mb has a PCI-E but the power supply doesn't have any power connectors for a good video card. The 7200 card doesn't need the extra power connector and did increase my play enough that I was terrorizing a Spearhead server with awesome headshots again.JC Viper wrote:Nothing wrong with scrounging for something you want. $60 is quite a bit for something that old, $60 could get you something with more power.

The PCIe video cards come with a Molex connector that converts it into a PCIe power connector. The reason why I upgrade my card is to play any game in the future. I play Call of Duty World at War on full settings giving me a nice visual and great frame rate for owning. Then there's the game Mass Effect and Fallout 3 that I play should I want a decent story. I find myself going back to Indigo Prophecy from time to time. I highly recommend it (game pad for certain segments) because it is a great story type game and doesn't need anything powerful.Johnj wrote:I was trying to play with a Sempron, 2G system RAM, and the on-board nVidia 6150 chipset, and it just wasn't cutting it.

for that price you woulda been better off spending $2 more and getting the 6800 like I have. Plays any game out there except crysis.fireguzzi wrote:Thats just how us broke people roll.JC Viper wrote:Wow I'm such a computer geek, I thought when people upgraded their cards to play games I think GeForce 8 and higher all running on a PCIe bus.
