well now i only have a 5200 geforce but i am thinking of dropping the idea of buying a new graphics card and use 300$ on 2gb of ram. so how will the performance be now. will the loading screens be over in a sec and what about lag. i think that a 5200 delivers good enough graphics for me. i more wonder about speed and lag.
well if your happy with your gfx, yeah 2gb ram does help load times alot, but i say get beter gfx card then save for more ram
Ram has the greates impact on loading times, your better off going for the graphics card if you want to improve framerate or in game graphics options.
I had that card with 512mb RAM originally. When I upgraded to 1GB of RAM the difference was okay but not huge. When I upgraded my gfx card to a GF6600, the difference was HUGE! (in terms of lag).
Graphics card first mate, $300 should get you a good one
almost a 7800gt in english money so I would imagine you would get one in the states for that, everything being cheaper over there (me cries)
and it'll look like this --->> Skydive
and smoother than the vid, fraps doesn't like recording with 4xAA 16xAF
I have 2 in SLi but I've ran with one and there's not a lot of difference, so 1 would run 2xAA 8xAF no probs I think
50-75 FPS (75 is max as I have V-sync on)
