Thats's my exact system! 5200, 8800gts 320mb, and 2gb of ram (you have 4 thou)

My games perform pretty good. I haven't tried WiC or Crysis, but I don't belive it will be that bad. I belive you might have some drivers issue, a bad part, heating problems, or any other different from hardware. At least that's what I want to belive xD!

the only argument i can see here is bad demo = bad game

but character development rpgs really can't be judged by level 1-4, can they? nor can you truly judge a multiplayer game through the single player experience

at level 1 you're wearing rags, you have no stats, no skills, your character looks like crap, there's vew enemies and they're generic melee attackers, there's no bosses

You know what? Earlier I installed a demo for a game.

I chose to go ranged, because that's more my style of playing rpgs. So, heck, I say to myself "lets hope I'm able to keep them far from me, since I'm sure I'll be very squishy"

Ok, now I'm running the game, looks cool, graphics are fine, the sound is crap but who cares, it might be placeholding sounds for the demo.

Then I see a mob. Group of zombies. Ok... left click *bullets start flying about*... hmmm what I can just fire unlimited ammo and kill everything on sight? cool...? crap.-..?

Oh hey! there's a bigger zombie! click............... run. clickk....... run. he's dead. hmmmmmj.... this is getting very difficult, I had to run on that fight...

And let me tell you something, being able to almost one shot everything in the game is kinda dumb. I mean. It took me like 4 firebolts to kill one zombie on Diablo II, and that ment almost ALL my mana. I didn't even know powers used the blue bubble on Hellgate. I could just spam granades until my ass turned inside out.

Nah... unballanced. Bad sound. Cheap gameplay. Common NPCs. Those guards seem taken out of some fantasy game.

My 5200+ am2 is running at 42-45C @idle / 50-54C @full load

I wanna buy a powerfull fan or cooling device to keep the temps down. Any suggestions?

a $60 top price I think is my budget

Scout for offense. it's very fun, and the speed helps a lot.

I like Demoman for defense, but sometimes I use Pyro and Soldier as offensive-defense.

Team Fortress 2 rocks

[QUOTE="31337r4v3n"]play world in conflict and your 320 meg will be pwnt all the while you will be reading "ran out of v-mem" turning up the game settings makes textures bigger thus taking up more memory than you video card has...DRASTICALLY slowing down game performace..instead of your gpu pulling things from memory it has to clear it then fill it because you ran out of memory....my 640 meg card got slowed down from this in WIC (not even close to the type of games comming out soon) but my 768 meg card does not run out of what is alloted....you are quite amusing...you are one of those people that try to say the earth is really flat because you are dillusional...SamiRDuran

wow wow wow... seriously whats wrong with u? this is what happens when people bellow 10 lvl are allowed to post as much as they want. the 8800gtx is indeed faster than the gts butperormance/price ratio the 8800 gts wins easily... why do u try to justify ur purchase so hard? u filled ripped off maybe? here u are:

Euro per Fps

8800gts (320 mb)0,198

8800gtx (768 mb) 0.244

8800ultra (768 mb) 0.265

i see that u love links:http://www.tomshardware.com/2007/10/09/directx_10_shootout/page9.html

the difference as u can see is huge, seriously cut it out,, u are behaving like a 10 year old spoiled brat.

*hands down*
