But I Hope That Was A Money Well Spent

VGA Dilemma again !!

Craps..!!!

Again the same problem, here I am stuck again with the performance of my VGA Card 

I mean don't you feel like this VGA upgrade thing is more like a race that you can never win or is it only me ?!

Nvidia 6800  were not able to fulfil F.E.A.R XP, NFS Carbon, I wasn't able to Maximize Visual Option though it was pretty amazing on Most Wanted & Hitman 3 Blood Money.

I understand that an AGP card is not as powerful as PCI Express but for how long can your PCI E Card hold on till it's no longer enough

Just have a look at the amazing coming games like Crysis and the New Generation of DirectX 3D 10 like the new Nvidia 8800 and tell me that your card can actually stand a chance in the comparison

Now I regret buying the AGP Card for that amount of money I paid and I wish I had saved that money for a full upgrade even though I did change my full set less then a year ago and changed my VGA card 4-5 month back

The problem is, I really want to experience my games in the best way possible, so here I am preparing my money again for a full purchase order, what a waist !!!!!!!!!!!

Finally

Now that I finally got the NVIDIA AGP 6800 Extreme 512 Mb with 8 pixel pipeline (surely won't be as a 24 pipe PCI Express VGA) but at least it's double the ATI performance I Had before and for an acceptable price two so no more 800 x 600 Game Res. and welcome 1024 x 768

I finally got to test my games in a different way

Need For Speed Most Wanted  - Amazing Rain & Shadow Effects make the game a very different experience

Quack 4 - Feels as a whale new game

Hitman 3 - wasn't even working unless on minimum features & 800 x 600 but not anymore

Condemned - Creepy shadows and light with full features enabled makes it worth the money

Can't wait to test the New Carbon Need For Speed and Crysis which looks like a demanding game

Need For Speed Most Wanted

you know it's really amazing how you can feel the difference between cars

though Supra used to be my all time favorite, Gallardo is now my best.

i was thinking though that i still have to change my VGA again

my ATI Radeon 9250 is a 4 Pipeline card

i was thinking maybe radeon 9800 8 piplines !! hmmmmmmmmm
