Anyone know if this one has support for widescreen resolutions? I bought the first one on steam and there is no way to run it in widescreen, so kind of ruined the immersion for me having to play it through a little square on my screen
I was wondering if anyone has downloaded and tried the doom 3 HD mod and if so, is it safe to download? When I downloaded it I got a warnign that says its not commonly downloaded and could harm my computer? But I've read lots of posts on the website from people who say they've installed it and it works great. I would really like to play this in HD with widescreen support so any help or advice on this is much appreciated.
I have one 6950 2GB right now and I am really considering getting that as my second one.

why would u even need more than one? I would think just one of those together with a good cpu would be more than powerful enough for any games that are out right now. These cards become outdated so fast though, that is the problem.
Yeah like GTX 550 TI Being behind by far of HD6850 for about same price or HD7770 that where nvidia always fail but it a good thing for AMD it let them have some market lol anyhow GTX 550 TI will be Discontinued as GTX 650 release around September or October

wow so HD6850 is considered low end now? Cause I have a 5770 and it runs most newer games at high settings, of course I also have a Phenom II 6-core cpu to go with it. What would be considered a noticeable upgrade over my 5770 that wouldn't cost over 200$?
wow thanks that is a really good deal. So I guess if I had this I shouldn't have to do any upgrades for a while except upgrade my ram from 4 to 8 gigs. I've looked on newegg recently and I did not see a deal like this. Thanks a lot

Yes I know they are out with the 7000 series now so of course the 5000 series is going to be considered low end. But honestly, I don't believe that most games that are out now even take full advantage of all that the newer cards are capable of, so i think its kind of a waste to spend 400-500 dollars on a top of the line card if you dont need to.

[QUOTE="adamosmaki"][QUOTE="C_Rule"][QUOTE="welroon"] thanks fo rthe advice, I will definitely look into Nvidia. Don't take advice from him... He's and idiot. AMD had a few issues years ago concerning drivers . Nowdays their drivers are as good as nvidia so it will be stupid to dismiss AMD offerings and look only nvidia offerings ( same goes of course the other way as well ). Just look for cards that offer the best bang for your buck and dont be a fanboy . Right now if you are gonna go high end nvidia with 670 is hard to beat. But if you are looking for a card around the $250 mark Amd has 7850/70 while nvidia has yet to release its equivalent product . As for the $150-200 price point there are alot of cards from both companies ( gtx 560/ 560ti/ AMD 6870/ 6950 ). Finally when comes to $100 price point Nvidia really dont have anything worthwhile unlike AMD's 6850 and 7770 Thank you for taking the time to respond, this was very helpful. I've done some research myself and I agree with you, it seems Nvidia does not seem to have as much to offer for lower end or mid-range cards as they do higher end cards. It seems for people on a budget AMD is the way to go. I'm not a fanboy, just dont have alot of money to spend on something that might be way more than I need right now power wise anyway.
I saw the badges for the steam summer sale and noticed I've been a member for 7 years. Wow does time fly! I was just wondering how long you all have been members of steam for?

I've been a member since Sept. 2002, so almost 10 years, wow how time flies
4GB of RAM is about enough. What is bottlenecking your gaming performance is obviously the GPU. You should upgrade that one. But GPUs aren't cheap though.
When you are upgrading the GPU, go for Nvidia since they run games better.

Is that true that Nvidia runs games better? I thought ATI was pretty comparable especially for the price. Also arent some games more optimized for Nvidia and some more for ATI? Thanks for the advice I will do some research, I used to own Nvidia years ago and it was a good card.
Well, don't take it as a fact. But from what I've heard is that Nvidia run games better because they have fewer issues. Many people who complained about problems are mostly ATI users such as unusual low framerates, flickering and some other technical issues in regards to graphics. So yes, it seems that many games are better optimised for Nvidia.
So what I would say is that it's probably better to be safe than sorry, therefore you should look at Nvidia cards. Take my words as advice and don't feel the pressure from me to purchase a Nvidia card. ;)

Thanks for the advice I will do some research, I used to own Nvidia years ago and it was a good card. apples and oranges. Both companies trade blows here and there. Go for the card your interested in that matches your budget at the time. I agree, from what I have read both companies make cheaper and higher end cards, and they both have their drawbacks. But for me, ATI will always attract me more for their price/bang for the buck. All I know is that video cards are like cars, right after you buy them they are already outdated and being replaced by something newer and better.
