I need a new graphics card, Im thinking a 6870 is probably a good value, I have to order it ASAP, but I need a new HDD too and Im waffling over whether to go SSD or not, so many options
have you been playing the campaign MD? the reviews are slagging that but I just look at that and the coop parts as a bonus, I mean none of the other classic BF games on PC had one, and that didnt stop me from playing them like a lunatic
Well, it isnt any game that I would break out a new graphics card for, only once every few years such a title comes along. The basic edition of Win7 isnt that expensive, it just requires reinstalling everything which is a huge pain. DirectX11 is worth it I think.
I waffled a bit but settled on a Radeon Sapphire 6850 1GB, which for $139 will be a huge upgrade over my ANCIENT 3000 series card, I forget the exact model number, but it was due. Probably not quite good enough for Ultra settings but Medium or High should be OK @ 1900x1080, whatever I can get 40FPS+ with at that resolution...
Between this and Uncharted 3 I might not be on XBL as much, but we still have an appointment to get to wave50 on horde, just let me know what nights are good for you and I will try to get on early and rally the troops.
