CommanderCrazy Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 As I said before Either NVidia Or Gigabyte GTX285.Good grunt, not such a big PSU needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxXEvandarXxx Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I wouldn't recommend getting an GTX 285. If you can afford a graphics card in that price range get an ATI HD5870 instead. Better performance, and DirectX 11 support. Then there's Eyefinity too, but like Nvidia's PhysX, this is nothing I care about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderCrazy Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 PhysX is better, 285 has DX11 support and it has NVidia CUDA & NVidia 3D(Play games in 3d!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxXEvandarXxx Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I remember reading something about ATI using the 3D gaming stuff too, which would work basically just like Nvidia's version.And no, GTX285 does not take advantage of any of the new features in DirectX 11. About Cuda, I'm not completely sure how it actually works but from what I understand it doesn't really have any benefit it games, which is what I can imagine MonsterHunterMaster would use the computer for. And of course, if you think it's worth it to get an outdated card just for PhysX, that's up to the person buying it. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderCrazy Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Well, I already had one. (Two actaully. I love Crossfire!)But I cooked them :(And I assure you, The ones I had Did support DX11.Maybe coz they were semi custom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethre Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 8600GTM - Oblivion runs quite smoothly. BTW- Nvidia PhysX is awesome (even without a dedicated card). :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderCrazy Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Sorry Ethre, But there are Many better cards on the market.The 8 series is getting a little behind..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balagor Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 @MHM The GTX285 has only DX10, and will not support full effects of games in the future. NVIDIAGTX285http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_geforce_gtx_285_us.html This one has DX 11, and will support future games. (at least a couple of years)XFX Radeon HD 5850http://www.xfxforce.com/en-us/products/gra...ies/5850.aspx#2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor. Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Just wait till the nvidia 300gt comes out, its going to smoke those radeons, usually because they will come with larger bus speeds around 896 (448 x 2) like the 295's but with a 1ghz cpu in them. found the possible specs for the 300gt? http://www.brightsideofnews.com/news/2009/...-cgpu!.aspx cant wait :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
