Ati_ !!

by SonYY • 11 Mar 2009, 17:38 • Journals
Anyone uses an ATI graphics card?

1. What are your settings in ati control catalyt? (screenshots?)

2. Do omega drivers help? If so do you just install them then thats it or is there more?

If anyone helps me get better fps i will give them a FREE RS account np


specs:

512 ram
2.4 ghz
Ati raedon 7000 (LOL)
P4

Yes would buying a better gfx card help with fps, if so which one?

Basically what components do i need for gaming with this pc?

Cant spend too much money as i dont have a job atm (woolworths closed down -.-)

I've gotten 100fps stable on most maps with worse specs than that. But my secret was just linux :(

first of all how much are u prepared to spend on new components?
▼
SonYY 11 Mar 2009, 17:56
£100
Parent
▼
Aniky 11 Mar 2009, 18:01
so thats only for vid card?
i mean u wont get much for £100 if u meaning to buy smth else apart from vid card, if only vid card then i could do some research for some cheap and good cards.
Parent
▼
SonYY 11 Mar 2009, 18:03
yeah

would the vid card on its own be enough to get at least 76 fps?

if not im willing to pay £200 max for other components ^^
Parent

Aniky 11 Mar 2009, 18:06
u dont have dual core right?
i see u have only 512mb and a bit weak proccesor so its not really all probs at vid card, also other stuffs are a bit old for it... i mean its good, but u cant get so good fps at game. I would advice u to wait a bit with buying some stuffs, get some more money and build up new pc like i did at past, when i change everything and didnt spend more then 400€
Parent

SonYY 11 Mar 2009, 18:09
yes but my vid card atm is 64mb :D

surely buying a 512mb vid card would make a bit of a difference? ^^
Parent
▼
Aniky 11 Mar 2009, 18:18
a bit, but not much with other components so low, u would just waste ur money to buy only vid card and leave others old. As i said, get some more money and suffer a bit now, then build new pc and own :D

Parent

Aniky 11 Mar 2009, 18:26

pala 11 Mar 2009, 19:33
that usually depends :P on highest resolution the x2 will beat 295 because of higher vram, but ive seen a few times the 295 sneaks and beats it
but overall on every benchmark around 5 out of 6 / 7 tests 5 of them the 295 wins

i tried those two cards and the 4870x2 was better in 80% of games i tried on my 20 and 42'' screens. Reviews says the same but w/e... :]
Parent

Aniky 11 Mar 2009, 19:49

get ati catalyst control center 9.2
I have it with my radeon hd 4870 and it pwns, cause it boosts my fps much (I can make anti aliasing x4 and high settings @ crysis warhead -> much more fps as with old driver)

1680x1050 32bit 60Hz
color: standart
rest: high
Avivo: 0 - 180 - 6500K

Talking about fps in ET?
Get a real processor and config
▼
conker 11 Mar 2009, 19:36
you could buy something like a radeon hd 3800 which would work with your current system. That way you wouldn't need to upgrade everything yet. But with such little RAM and a 2.4GHz processor it's pointless doing anything except upgrading.

strN 11 Mar 2009, 20:16
Which processor? There are many with 2,4 ghz...
