Tech marches on.

A 4770 card is about $100 but another option is coming, a cloud computing deal that streams.

If you want the latest games you need a more powerful graphics card.
Yes there are things to do that don't require an upgrade but you need to decide what your major use of the computer will be.

MY graphics card is about like yours and I'm not upgrading till autumn but that means that any new games I buy that I can't run will have to wait till then.

On the other hand, I can run anything else, make your choice.

i think you are trying to make a point here but i dont understand it ,,

[id10x]

what new game that i cant run ? can you name one ? there isnt any recommended
requirements on game req web sites that say you need a more powerful card than
the high end 9000 series

Pam thought your card was the Geforce 8600 in your first post.

Your 9800 is a fine card and should play anything out there. Enjoy it.

[pam123]

Yes I thought you were talking about an 8600 in one of your rigs.

That card is fine for games.

<===scared==== me

no pam i was just kinda surprised that a game would ask for a 8600
as a mini requirement .. i mean there is still some good high end series 7 out there

my old pc have a 6200 geforce

It is too technical to discuss in a short post why they would require an 8600 or higher card. I am going to say this as simple as possible.
Even though some of the high end 7 Series cards like the 7900GTX are still brutally powerful they can't process certain new graphics features that even the lowest 8 series card can, if you were to play the game that has these new features and the card can't process them then the game will crash or you may have tearing or other problems.

[id10x]

yes you mean the chip set ability's not the power of the card

well then that means bye bye series 7

LOL Up until recently I've had an MX440 in my normal computer and a 6300 (I think) in my laptop, and it's played most of the games I want to play (though obviously not as pretty as other cards). Just got a new computer with a 4850 that should last me a while. That MX440 lasted 7 years and has only just started having problems, pretty impressed with that. With proper care, I haven't had to replace anything in that old comp.

yes i just played crysis warhead with my 6200
