thanks dude, question answered

Yup, that's a good card, but the price scares me away.
If it were me, I'd buy something a little cheaper, but whatever.

A minimum requirement for a game like f.e.a.r. is

•64MB GeForce™ 4 Ti or Radeon® 9000 video card

but the reccomended is

256 MB Radeon® 9800 Pro, GeForce™ 6600 (or above)

Trust me, you don't want to play F.E.A.R. on a GeForce 4

I really wouldn't recommend buying a 600 dollar video card, but whatever.

Get a 150$ one from newegg.com, such as a X1300 ATi, or a GeForce 6800. Better card, don't need a huge PSU, and they're reliable.

Haha, I plan on getting the x1300 soon.

Make sure that you have the PCI-E x16 slots. But that is a very nice card to get, top of the line. It costs more than my computer. Don't they have the 7900 out?

From what I know, they don’t have it out yet. But I have made sure the gfx card is combatable with my new computer I’m getting

I have a GeForce 4 and it barely slogs through Warcraft III.

I'm building a computer and am probably going to end up stuffing it with a $319 7800GT.

They're good cards, but from Best Buy they are ridiculously overpriced. I reccommend buying off NewEgg, as their prices are much more reasonable.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList....ATTR18=&ATTR19=

7800GTX starting at $409.00

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814130280

7900GTX at $599.00

I know, it could play WC3, I had one. It was fairly reasonable, 128mb of memory, but still, the card is basically crap now.

Why would you get the 800? They have the 1900 out I think.

Mine's 64MB, and it's just what came with this dell that's more than half a decade old.

Heh, I only upgraded it last december, to a S120 Diamond graphics accelerator powered by Radeon 9550 256 DDR XD

Seriously Zombie, the 7800+ takes up a huge place in your case, and takes up a huge amount on power supply. Be reasonable and get a ATi X1330XT or a 6800, much better deal, and no three months later "OMFG WHERE IS THE SMOKE COMING FROM?"
