Can i fully max out at 1280x1024 with an overclocked XFX 8800 GTS 320 MB.

And by fully max out i mean full AA and AF in most of the games released so far.Here's the link to the card i am talking about.

"XFX sells an overclocked XXX model with a 580MHz core and 1.8GHz memory for $335".That's what i am getting.And since it's factory overclocked i dont need to take care of it's cooling and stuff.Right?

Gamespot had this to say in conclusion but i dont get the answer to my question from that.And they also didnt have benchmarks forany of the games in 1280x1024.

"The GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB performs in line with our expectations. It's a quick card, but it does have memory limitations. The card performs wonderfully at 1600x1200 with 4x antialiasing, but falls behind when memory size comes into play at the highest resolution and image quality settings. The stock GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB is a great option if you're willing to sacrifice AA and AF settings for higher frame rates. If you can't live without the higher-resolution and antialiasing settings, you might want to consider jumping up to the 640MB GTS or the 768MB GTX."

My other specs is a E4400 and 2 GB 667 Mhz Ram.

Well I have the same card and have never had a problem with any game @ 1280 * 1024 with AA & AF so IMO you will be fine. There's always the 2900 Pro which looks pretty good right now aswell .rfc2k

Don't get a 8800GTS,get a HD 2900PRO,much better price/performance and it also has 512MB which Dx 10 games like WiC WILL need even @ 12x10.Indestructible2

Andthe 2900 PRO isnot really cheaper for someone buying a new PC as i will have to buy a more expensive power supply and mobo for this card.I think it needs dual Pci-E slots.Thinker_145

no, your processor will limit any potential gains from your video card.

"We see that Doom3 is bottlenecked by the e4300 processor"

http://www.tomshardware.com/2007/09/17/sbm_low_cost_system/page7.html

if u look at the other graphs it shows that in some games the 8800 GTS 329 MB gets its ass kicked. but the 8800 GTS 320 MB is a steal for the performance, it is a good card.

if u want to see how it could perform overclocked then read article below...

I am talking about a core 2 duo 2 Ghz processor.It meets the recommended requirements of all the games so far released and you say that it will have problems running doom 3?Surely you are kidding right?

Somebody tell me that this guy is kidding.

your absolutly right about the pro being a good deal, but you are wasting your energy, thinker_145 has made many topics about the same crap and he doesnt understand anything. he obviously isnt appreciative of anyones help so i think we should just not even bother. take your $330 and buy an xbox360 and not worry about pc's buddy

I think it was very clear what he was saying. If you were confused, you could have clicked on the link he gave, its quite obvious. The E4300 DID bottleneck the 8800 GTX in that benchmark, but the bottleneck was about 110 FPS...not really a problem. So no hes not kidding, but its also not really a big deal at all.
