opps should have read others first before me last post. oh yeah running a 7800GS, AMD64 @ 2Ghz, 2GB RAM and have only shown signs of struggle on G.R.A.W. without overclocking. Oblivian, Quake 4, Pray, HL2, FEAR etc.. all run well with everything max out.
These benchmarks on that rig is making the budget cards look alot better then they are. GS should do more realistic benchmarking, by using rig from the same level as the card. If your running an FX62 you aint gonna have a budget card you'll have high end. A processor of that magnitude is gonna be doing most of the work for the card. IF your gonna get a budget card then chances are you've only got a budget system so therefore benchmarking on a budget pc £300-£500 range would be more realistic and more informative to viewers who are new to this Low VC test on low to mid end pc mid VC test on mid to high end pc high VC test on high end pc I would also presume that these card are all PCI-X, AGP's still around for those who have a system brought a couple of years ago who might be thinking of a little upgrade to try some of the latest games. home about adding an AGP VC of each range.
